he seems pretty philosophically strict and rigid with how he structures his offence
doesnt seem to adapt to personnel
it's a good offence but seems to become unsustainable throughout a season consistently even beyond Tua
also very based on quick timing etc. not much playmaking built into it
maybe he could do that with a different QB but not a ton of evidence to suggest it

My guess is the play calling. Lamar probably saw what we all saw and said this shit dumb.

I think they'd gel really well. Lamar seems to love fast players - judging by target shares - and McDaniel's offense is all about speed.
It’s a tough one. I do know most of the players in that building love their position coaches. They felt like they finally had the right blend. My guess is Harbaugh stuck to that and thought they’d respond. Bisciotti had different ideas.
Was worried that the news may never come, but this just feels like the perfect time for the change. The vast majority of the talent will return, along with the offseason additions. So the window is very clearly still here. And this likely strengthens Lamar Jackson's chances of staying in Baltimore. Which I didn't feel were under a serious threat, especially after his current interview. But our next head coach will likely salivate at the opportunity to work with him, rather than just making it work.
the players may have liked their position coaches
but most position groups regressed this year

Yeah and that may be true that the players love the position coaches. But if I'm Steve Bisciotti, and I am a business owner, you know as a business owner that someone may love their manager but the manager may not get the best out of them. Love and personality combos don't always mean great results.

LJ was sick of that damn roll out to the right every time we have a 2pt play
that was a greg roman thing too though

Interested to see if he's more aggressive. I told you all in the off season he had a video where he said he wanted to win and win now. We've essentially wasted the Henry signing cause there's no telling how he looks next year and the team has regressed.
He was right about Tua whether people want to accept it or not.
Finding out Monken might have been the reason is wild to me. Wanting to keep Orr is wilder. Guess we were right about that man's loyalty cause it seemed to cost him his job and I gotta say I somewhat admire that.

I think he did really well to construct an offense around Tua's limited skills that actually made him look good until defenses caught up. Deluded Miami fans were calling him top 5 and better than Lamar at one point.
I don't know if he was too rigid or if was the case that no other offense could even possibly work with Tua, so they had to stick with his bespoke Tua-proof system even after defenses had solved it because it was better than anything else Tua could do.
Tbh we need taller wrs. Like deep threat/jump ball fade goaline fade route type lol. Big catch radius type players

He would have known it was a strong possibility he was gone if he wanted to keep status quo. Just saying I’m sure it wasn’t a surprise.

We had Hopkins who caught everything and he didn't even get a target every week
the problem is that lamar likes to throw into windows and space rather than jump ball throws and fades etc.
likes to keep the ball safe
it's why DHop ultimately didn't fit here because his best skillset at this point in his career wasnt a good match for how lamar likes to play
he even writes like he's some sort of preacher
