Looks like we the fans aren't the only ones that would like Kubiak back, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala: If Gary Kubiak is "stepping down" and not "retiring," could he return to Baltimore as an OC? Member of Ravens says to me: I hope! 6:46 PM - 2 Jan 2017 1010 Retweets 2525 likes

You are pointing out separate instances. It would be interesting to see the percentage of plays Jimmy plays press and off. If the percentage of plays was about 50-50 and he was getting beat on them equally, then you have a point.

I don't remember anyone blaming Pees for Jimmy's mistake. The issue is, as I see it, is Pees not giving Jimmy a second chance to correct his mistakes, and going right back to playing way off, which time and again has been proven doesn't work

In theory, you might be thinking that you are giving it your all. In reality, when you don't agree with something, even subconsciously, the result is quite different

The question is not whether they care about each other. I believe they do. The question is whether they care about Pees and his scheme (and whether they care to execute it)...

Not even talking about motivation. Have you ever noticed when you care about a person, you just do more, go the extra mile, probably not even consciously?

Can you explain Ray Lewis impact? Sometimes it's not 100% the scheme. There are other factors at play, also. The fanbase wants a change from the stale situation that the D is in. Brooks is only an option that people are pointing to, because the players respect him and are excited to play for him (remember B. Williams's reaction when Brooks got the game ball?!) He might not be the savior, but it seems pretty obvious that something's got to change....

Dean Pees was a position coach on the Ravens too...so your point? A good position coach can make a bad coordinator, same as a good coordinator can make a bad head coach...apples and oranges

Go

iirc, most were in the playoffs threads during our SB year.

I think it's wrong to put any type of a label on Melvin after that one game. It seems that expectations of him were a bit too high or unrealistic, considering he went undrafted. Also, it's not the comparison, it's the contrast to Jimmy that should be obvious. Nobody can expect an undrafted player to start in his, what, second or third game and perform as a star.

To be fair, it took Jimmy a while to fix the same problem, and he was a first round pick. Give Melvin a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised.
