He literally got triple teamed on one snap lol
Chuck Smith has been amazing for Oweh

Seems like it. He is probably one guy where technique coaching helped more than Mike's scheming.
I saw on his Wikipedia it looks like he hasn’t coached or done anything notable in the last 13 years. Did he coach at a different level or was just with family and wanted to get back into football?

He ran his specialised pass rush / OLB training program. Lot of major pro players worked with him.
The Duke Manyweather of pass rush. Not too dissimilar from what we did with Keith Williams too

Keith Williams, Tee Martin, and now Chuck Smith.
Although Tee was brought in to help the WR room, switching him to QB coach was a brilliant move. You see him on the bench choppin it up with Lamar after every series. Chemistry there is a helluva lot better than Urban with Lamar.
We all knew he got the QB coach job because he worked with Harbs back in their eagle days.. no experience at all in that field. Bet Lamar just shrug his ass off most of the time lol.

And that's the Lamar that I love and want to see. Having fun and as he says: "We just playing ball!"
Urban may not have had experience as a qb coach but was a very good wr coach in Cincinnati. I was hoping that is what he was hired for when we signed him.

You say that like their WRs needed much coaching.
urban was great at preparing backups to start (and there's a reason he's still here and still part of this coaching staff even without a traditional coaching role)
and lamar definitely made strides while urban was here - but lamar's personal coaches were doing a lot of the mechanics and stuff and was hard to see what urban's function with lamar was once he took on Adam Dedeaux
I really like what Harbs has been doing though to change his approach the last few years and find these guys who the players love, who are experts at their craft but maybe havent held high level jobs in the NFL yet
Dubb and Smith have been great for their position groups (and Dubb hasnt even been the full-time WR coach yet)
but also harbs has been finding potential rising stars in college to elevate:
Tee Martin, Kerry Dixon, Willie Taggart
we've obviously got a logjam at the top of the organisation to promote people into but we're hoarding masses of talent at the position coach level
Legitimately one of the resignings that made me the most happy when it was announced.

I love when Lamar is micd up, because when we see him scramble and make plays with his feet and he hops up shaking his head and what not, we don’t know what he’s doing/saying, dudes actually down there laughing at defenders and telling them “y’all know”. That boy cold af

How about Lamar pleading for the coach to take Nelly out of the game after he didn't block anyone? lmaooooo
It's great to see Lamar having fun again

He's having so much fun, I can see him playing beach ball and jumping over jet ski again next summer.

I'm sure John Harbaugh familiarity with James Urban helped him get the job but Urban had previous success as a quarterback coach. He was an understudy for Andy Reid before taking his coaching career else were. He was Mike Vick quarterback coach when he won comeback player of the year in 2010 or 2011 along with going to the Pro Bowl and was Lamar Jackson quarterback coach when he won MVP of year in 2019. He never actually played the quarterback position before but there have been successful position coach in the league that haven't played the position they are coaching. Ravens former quarterback coach Rick Dennison was a legit inside linebacker if not mistaken before his coaching career and he helped Joe Flacco have one of his best seasons as a raven.
I'm sure Tee Martin playing the quarterback position helps alot with coaching Lamar and the other quarterback on the team. I just think the major difference is the offensive coordinator. I think Todd Monken sets a better tone when it comes to emphasizing the importance of proper throwing mechanics than Greg Roman. Not that Roman didn't value it but I think he was more passive with his approach with Lamar and was more willing to just let Lamar be Lamar considering how special he is as a talent
