It doesn't make sense they haven't done it, unless the guys they are fielding(O line, RBs and WRs) just aren't up to speed or, maybe there just isn't enough of them that are competent. Don't know, but it's frustrating to watch, especially when you've seen the success they've had in the past.ALWAYS!
And that is what I don't get about this offense. IF you know that based upon your personnel that your strength may lie within that no huddle and sugar huddle, mixed in with the run and play action; why not just work the hell out of it? I think that slowing Flacco down is actually "dumbing" him down! Marty needs to meet with Joe and allow him to script his own offense. Yeah I said it!
I saw a tv piece on Sean Peyton and how he "asked" Drew Brees which formations and plays that he liked to run against their upcoming opponent. Why not allow Flacco to do something similar? Guaranteed he'd probably have that no huddle and sugar huddle in there as his base plays.
This has largely been Joe's M.O.
But Marty is doing a wonderful job.Marty has to go!
I know that we've had a few O.C.'s and that ruins the consistency in many ways, however, I can't stand the sub-mediocore play calling and game play of our offense. It's sickening and down right embarrassing as a Ravens fan! Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results!
Sure, the players have to execute the plays but let's be honest, I'm pretty sure that they maybe sick of the redundancy and lack of creativity in the play calling themselves. I mean, why should they be excited about running the same old plays with no creativity an entire game?
When my wife and I attended the Ravens vs Steelers game a few weeks back, Maclin, came to the sidelines after an abysmal series of piss poor play calling and took off his helmet and was screaming and yelling at Marty. That wasn't televised, shown or spoken about. He actually turned his back on Marty and then walked to the end of the bench by himself. He was livid!

Let me guess, E. Harrison still salty after Mallett beat his beloved Shitsburg last year?
Great point. lol
But his preseason was atrocious to say the least. We talkin' bout backup QB rankings.
Him and Boldin were a great duo no doubt, that's really close but for me Flacco-Smith Sr. takes the crown because whenever Flacco was in trouble or needed a big play no matter where he was at, he always relied on Smith Sr. and locked on him and more often then not, Steve Smith came through. If I can recall prior to his torn Achilles injury, he was on pace for 1,800 yards, while it was unlikely that he would top that, he was the 6th player in the Super Bowl era to post 10 catches and 150 yards In back to back games, I don't think this is a feat that Joe-Boldin would even come close to accomplishing.
Didn’t Bolden come on after Cam Cameron was let go. Cam wasn’t using Bolden to his strengths. I think Smith and Flacco was the better tandem of the two. It’s pretty close with Mason and Smith, because Mason really was a good wr for Flacco to have in his first three years in the league.
Humpf?
