yes so which is it . Castillo stays as oline coach or the new Oc picks his own staff. My bet is Castillo stays regardless what the new Oc wants . I think the Oc can pick whom he wants as long as he doesn't touch Castillo.

and your correct , John said it in his news conference the only thing for certain is that Castillo is the line coach. I took that to mean no matter who they chose for oc that guy is stuck with Castillo .In all the threads its odd no one mentioned it until you did I thought I had heard wrong and listened again , neither of us heard wrong .no one does that what happens if the new OC doesn't like him etc etc....

I understand but this is just a rumor .I wanted an unknown someone with something to prove. If he is chosen then we are stuck no mater how much it upsets us . I wanted Shanahan I thought he would be perfect for Joe and the entire offense. I just think we should wait and see before we get all worked up.

Alot of people even go so far as to make up facts to support there agenda not allergic per say just the way things work here sometimes. People don't like Hostler there is no denying we have a poor history of developing wideouts except Torry . all of this is speculation and opinion . people are entitled to express how they feel either way

+100 relax until we know for sure .

Everyone is getting worked up this is still a rumor . There are still interviews going on why not get upset IF he is picked. I don't know Hostler that well but if our wideouts are any indication then I get it . Its not like the fans have any say we are stuck with whomever Harbaugh picks. we do need a better play book . First we were implementing a zone blocking scheme ,then Harbaugh said something about a down hill power running today maybe since he has time to think maybe he has decided to stick with what works to provide consistency for Joe's sake. How about giving the guy a chance maybe he has a playbook or new plays in mind we won't know until he gets the job...

To me the underdogs are the Seahawks. I know they are considered favorites by Vegas . Seahawks earn there first superbowl win .

I started to post this same thing , last time I did was hammered. Grab a couple first round receivers who are nfl ready and lets see how things change. But we agree Im not a fan of Hostler as an OC .

When I heard the interview and John's comment's I think it will be Kubiak or Shannahan. The oline personnel they drafted last year Castillo's hire, the implementation of the zone blocking scheme all of this screams one of those two coaches we don't have anyone on staff currently that is qualified to do what they want . I am encouraged by that I don't see Castillo fitting anywhere but where he is now .

I second this. he's young innovative and he did a much better job without his father. I would be ecstatic if we could hire him

someone who can be a contributor from day one. No Injured reserve, no raw talent, no needs to learn x y z. we have enough of those already .

The front office will sign dennis pitta we saw his contribution to this team . WE need targets Joe has a chemistry with like other successful qb's in this league. He's not going anywhere .

Myth ;Joe Flacco is not a leader and sits on the sideline looking bored (insert adjective here) between offensive series Fact: Joe interacts with his receivers going over routes if they make a mistake he corrects them . explains how he wants them ran. If you are fortunate to attend a game you will see this not every series , but if he threw a pick he is going over the pictures? (not sure what that is) but also on the behind the bench clips you can see this. he's just not a vocal leader.

It would be a refreshing change to not have a flacco bashing session on every single thread ! FACT

thanks guys. I'm still learning appreciate the help

I have a question .it could be a myth not sure if I posted in the wrong spot I will delete. is there a special draft order , like qb's go first , te's second, etc etc or can you draft anyone in any order? or is draft order a myth

I agree with this too Gino was set up to fail before the season even started . no one no matter how intelligent can process all of that at once. I blame Harbs and Castillo, they knew going in we would have issues .zone stretch blocking is easy to learn inside zone blocking and outside blocking not so much if one person is off or misses there block the whole play fails.

Myth: Players can be cut without any cap or contract responsibility once they are cut. While it is true a player can be cut at any time, the guaranteed portion of there contract must be paid,the yearly pay is voided Any signing bonus, however, ceases to be pro-rated, and the entire balance of the bonus counts against the cap in the upcoming season.

I had no clue the Doss had been benched I didn't see that reported anywhere I thought I saw him on the field several times
