(in my best Stephen A. Smith voice): I wish the front office knew how disappointing it is for fans to come to this website today and not see an announcement that Marc Trestman has been fired. His performance as an OC is not only flagrantly terrible, it is downright immoral! Your quarterback is less than a year removed from an ACL injury and you line him up behind a line that is effective as a bunch of tackling dummies, you fail to include your fullback in the game plan, and you pass the ball 52 times? Are you out of your mind? If you're a lineman and you commit a holding penalty to save your recently injured $100-million QB from getting clobbered, I can forgive you; but if you're an Offensive Coordinator and you fail to plan for the game and you stand on the sideline and watch your offense fail for the entire first half and you fail to change anything schematically until- presumably- your head coach put his foot knee deep in your keister at half time, AND if this has been going on for more than a year now AND your offense has scored only 6 touchdowns through 4 games against the Bills, the Browns, the Jaguars, and the Raiders, YOU HAVE GOT TO GO!!

113 yards on 21 attempts.... West averaged just under 5.4 yards per attempt, but they passed the ball 3 times in a row when they needed to pick up 10 yards for a field goal. This is despite having 1 timeout still in hand- correct? If they had run the ball once in that series and picked up 5 yards, they'd have more options on third down and even if they didn't pick up any more yards, they'd have the option of a 62-63 (instead of 68) yard kick and that is not out of the realm of possibility for Tucker. Trestman had better be on a short leash after this B.S.

I'm dumbfounded by the fact that Juszczyk was not a part of the game plan from the beginning. They started 2 backups on the left side of the OL and the running game was already questionable. The difference between the offense was like night and day after they got #44 on the field. When Trestman was hired, Ravens PR claimed that he was going to build on what Kubiak had established the previous year, but nothing we've seen from Trestman even remotely resembles Kubiak's scheme. On big difference is how Kubiak used #44- he was always picking up yards on screens and that impacted the opponents' pass rush big time. I don't understand how an OC can fail to utilize a proven strategy game after game. He calls plays like he's still coaching a CFL team and frankly, he should go back to coaching a CFL team.
