O-Line Coach Search Update

[panthers55]

Sounds like he fits the bill for us. Good O line coach, good teacher, knows how to coach run and pass blocking.

Baltimore did have a pretty poor offensive line this year although not as bad as ours. We did beat them in one category- yards per rush (4.3 versus 3.7).

[House]

Yeah, this guy is the one I'm most skeptical of. 40 sacks isn't something that sits well with me personally. Gotta read some more on him. Could be a steal though.....

read some more on him and tell me how awesome you think he is because

[Ruff]

One thing is offensive line has done exceptionally well since he's been around, is set-up the screen pass perfectly. He was the guy that helped Marshall Faulk get all of those outrageous receiving yards under him, and then Ray Rice came along and put up huge receiving numbers out of the backfield.

[Mr. Scot]

the way the search for assistants is going is they're looking for scapegoats from other organizations that are actually capable

Murphy

McDermott

and now Matsko

That, plus names that start with 'M'

He's not one I'd have expected to be available.

i also like how the one assistant/coordinator we did pick up and steal from another team people had to go back to before his last job and rail him for being fired from cleveland

newsflash, at some point in your coaching career, you're likely to get fired

Screen passes and good TE play are really great for young developing QB's

...now if we could only have Green Bay fire their QB coach next week...

What happened was Gaither was the LT and got injured, that forced Oher (the RT) to Gaithers spot, Oher, who despite reprising his role on the "blind side", struggled. So they had two different players at the tackle spot. Not to suprising they struggled.

Updated first post, looks like their assistant is getting promoted.

Exactamundo. Would love to get Tom Clements from GB. We may have to wait a few weeks, though. In other related news, its been reported that the Panthers are in the process of interviewing Jags QB coach Mike Shula. Here's the link:

looks like some even-minded folks on this ravens message board (knew somebody was going to post the link)

http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/topic/33141-john-matsko-fired/

partly thinking he's a scapegoat for inconsistent line play, partly thinking he's the scapegoat for too many injuries, partly thinking it's a move to serve notice to cam cameron.

cameron is a real nfl vet, can't see firing one of his coaches to serve notice to the guy. might just be one of those things?

Bottom line he is a scapegoat and its BS. The guy is a damn good OL coach and with the talent we have on the OL he will make them even better.

Or find the next Aaron Rodgers. That guy makes his O-line look much better than they really are. No coach is going to duplicate what Rodgers does unless they can find a QB with as much talent as he has.

When I hear offensive line coach from Baltimore, all I think of is how the ravens ran all over the patriots in the playoffs last year...

[Ricky Spanish]

they wanted teachers and the word about this guy is that he is a great teacher and developer of talent.

not too shabby.

[Highlandfire]

I will be jacked if we get this guy. I am really shocked a GM like Ozzie Newsome that knows better would let this guy get the boot. Why did the Ravens really lose this year? They keep old farts past their prime on Defense and Flacco and company turned the ball over too much. But hey, that is the OL coaches fault....
