[Blogs] Late For Work 10/25: Suggs Sounds Off

[Pozman]

FIRE CAM! Every team in the NFL, if their offense is struggling, will go to hurry up, just keep the defense off balance. Where's a fake end around, where is the spread offense once in a while and 4 wides? How about a "Wildcat" with Tyrod to change something or an option play? Jax was in our playbook and had the snap count down. They were moving before our linemen were. Jax must have the best... corners in the game, our wides could not gain any separation. Why not split out Dixon and at least he could bump and run on a corner and catch a jump ball? When we went to the hurry up, there was no urgency and took too long, however, at least we managed a score that way. CAM is an effin' piece of dung, a control freak, and his methods are in past. He calls plays like Marchibroda did. Plus the O-line stunk.

@ Waka and I Roll;

Im so freaking mad this moring I have rebooked my appointments with my clients. On a cooler note, lets all call it what it is. ITS one loss thats it!

Im sorry to say but I expect us to lose 4 games this year, I just didnt expect it to happen to a bottome feeder team.

[wise ole owl]

yes cam is terrible,i said that last year,but joe and not much better,he will never beat out big ben,not even close.hes just a regular joe nothing else.i think tryrod taylor should be given a chance,at least hes a threat with his feet.with this awful line he mabe be what the doctor ordered,until grubbs comes back.whats with michael oher,hes a bust.again i feel for the def.as long as cam is there its seyanaria.

[Coolhurt]

I blame Harbaugh. This is not new under Cam. I thought the coaches watched tape during the bye week for self evaluation. The offense was horrible against Houston and even worse against Jacksonville. 16 yards in the 1st half no adjustments in the 2nd. At some point the head coach has to step in and say enough is enough.

[BmoreKing]

Ravens - (Flacco Cam) = Super Bowl

[coreyadams]

Coaches how do you'll fell right now?
This was the 2nd game we was not prepared.

[Coolhurt]

Oh we gave them no reason to stop Blitzing. Game plan with no back up plan.

@DW714

I understand your mad as we all are but your wrong about Flacco, sorry. Its not all on him - if you watch the full game (not sure if you did) you would have seen that he was getting no protection and his boss Cam Cameron is calling the wrong plays. It dont matter is we had tom or Drew as QB it would have been the same result. Yes Flacco made some brutal mistakes but he is not the reason for the loss.

Question; How was our run game last night? What did joe hand the ball off wrong too? NO

[RexGdubb]

I'm so hurt that im not watching espn for a week till we play!Goodbye ravens call i'm not bloggin till we win again i'm jus too hurt right now!

[Dfence4champs2052]

Flacco deserves nothing. He should be given another one year contract and make his behind earn every nickel. That deer in the headlights look pisses me off so much. And he just sits down after fouling up a drive and drinks his gatorade like its all good. Yes, the line was garbage, yes cam was garbage but the words came outta Joe Sacko's mouth himself he puts himself up there with Brady and Co. No you are far from it. I have completely give up on you Flacco. When I'm getting eviscerated by a fan who's QB is Tony Romo...lets be real. You stink.

[Zeus]

Remember what JOHN did in the preseason, HE SAID HE WANTED TO KEEP CAM....im just saying

[Bedrosian]

I don't understand why people say our OL played bad, I really don't think so...maybe Flacco thinks he needs the same time Patriots OL give to Brady every snap.
Please from now on let's just play our appropriate offensive style, let's run the ball!

[stixfix69]

OC with no skills, and a QB with no heart....Sorry Flacco wants to be a leader, than he has to act like it, and do what the good ones do, and take control of the offense, when our OC is clueless......RR 8 touches???? Some want to say lack of execution, i say it takes none to hand the ball off....Maybe roll our QB out when the OL is getting caved in?? Maybe have the WR's shorten their routes when the pass rush isn't allowing the time for the longer routes to develop??? My gosh we were playing the Jags, not the Steelers......

[JIVE1000]

Unless the owner does his job and causes heads to roll, nothing will change. Just the same old same old. And I'm not condemning coaches here. It's just that a change sometimes is the only way to bring change. I'm not a fair weather fan either. This is necessary to get the offense up to snuff. Major changes in coaching will bring major changes in play. We have nothing to lose here do we? Last night put a fine point on it. We've all seen it this season. That jets game showed it. The tennesee game showed it. There are many examples of what I'm talking about. Something is wrong, as usual with the offense. Same old Ravens. Great defense. Undependable offense. Do it now not later. This season will be toast with more performance like last night.

[RexGdubb]

I will say this it's flacco's fault we lost that game last night!He is still playing like he's a rookie he even under threw smith last nite.Flacco is quite because he is scared&he is no leader for the baltimore ravens period.

[Dfence4champs2052]

Give me Philip Rivers, Rothlisberger, Cutler, Cassell, hell give me Josh Freeman, Bradford or Matt Ryan over Flacco. Give me Gross-man. At least he plays with some type of heart. He's just not an elite QB by any stretch. Unbelieveable.

This is the most idiotic post I've ever read. Flacco is better 4 of those guys you named.

[EdBallhawkReed20]

There is three aspects you have to look at this season as to us winning/losing games. Coaching, Play Calling, and the Quarterback play. This is a shame but I feel Trent Dilfer could have won this game. I talked to my friend about the loss he said, " Joe Flacco I dubbed thee the Tin Man." He has no heart. All the fans on here can cover for him, Terrell Suggs doesn't know what he is talking about with the comments above. Terrell focus on the real issue, its not your running back. Sure you can feed the ball to Ray Rice, but that's one dimensional football. Once they shutdown the running game its over.

The real issue is Joe Flacco doesn't trust himself or his new wide receivers. He depends only on players who have made a name for themselves. If this isn't true look at the game better yet the season all the evidence is there. Its not about winning but how you win games. I believe every wide receiver on this team is talented. We all praised David Reed, Tandon Doss and others in preseason. They weren't getting much separation but they came up with the ball and made plays. You have to give these young receivers a shot to make something happen(you can't check-down to Ray Rice all the time!). The Jaguars took your key players out the equation and look how Flacco played.

I hate to say this but the difference between Tom Brady, Drew Brees and all the other great quarterbacks in this league and Joe Flacco is they don't care about player recognition, and they aren't afraid to make a mistake. Joe Flacco you can't be afraid to make a mistake. Tom Brady can win with any receiving core because he is a leader and isn't afraid to make mistakes.Tom Brady threw the ball on Darelle Revis and completed catches. Tom Brady may throw picks but that's all apart of the game and progressing as a quarterback, its going to happen (plus the Patriots are making the playoffs nonetheless, proving my point.). Joe Flacco has a outstanding defense where he can make those mistakes and still win the game.

[ravenisthebest7]

You give up 205 yards, 12 points, about 3.2 YPC to MJD, hold their QB to 9/20 passing, and LOSE? That is ALL on Cam. Horrible gameplan. You gameplan to get your best players the ball. Having Ricky in there on a 3rd down is NOT ok, you calling the plays in when Flacco and Harbaugh are getting frustrated at the slow pace when we're down 2 scores with 4 minutes left and you're still looking at your playsheet confused as ever.

My patience is over with this guy

[whistleblown]

Get rid of Flacco.. he has the physical tools but not the mental tools.. he is like a lump on a log.... no fire at all...

This was the worst performance I have ever seen. 16 yards of offense in 2 quarters.. you have to be kidding me... Do something biscotti... get rid of harbaugh if he cant manage this team and get them out of this offensive rut...

[DW714]

I don't normally overreact to a loss. But after last night, I've completely lowered my expectations for this team. They may get to the playoffs, but with this offense, there is no way we can beat the high scoring teams in the NFL. Our offense has actually regressed from last year. Boldin and Rice is all we have. Boldin is slow and the one fast receiver that we do have is a rookie. I don't miss Derrick Mason's personality, be we need veteran players like him and Todd Heap who know how to get open. And the Lee Evans trade really screwed us. He might not even be back this year. From what I've heard, this is an injury that he was dealing with last year with the Bills. Did we not give him a physical before we traded for him? Such a dissapointment.

[whistleblown]

Put Taylor in NOW!!!

[higgins2052]

i agree with the statement that the refs didnt lose us this game because that offense was painful to watch but they certainly didnt help. The play before Pollards amazingly clean hit that got called suggs got blocked in the back which wasnt called and he would have gotten a sack otherwise. That blown call gave them the first down and allowed them to kill about 5 or 6 more minutes off the clock. Also not knocking torrey at all because he had some nice catches but a healthy Lee Evens would of been clutch in this game because he's a vet, i dunno really frustrating to watch that our defense has every right to be pissed.

[Bedrosian]

Flacco has already reached his top...he'll never change his up&down attitude.

[whistleblown]

Flacco reminds me of Rex Grossman without a heart... up and down but without any emotion.. get rid of him now!!!

[J.O.14]

@dw714, i agree!! We miss Mason, but i dont think we do heap cause i really like our young TEs. Boldin just doesnt get open. Im glad im not the only one who thought he looks slow!! He is not a true number one in my opinion. I just don't know what to say anymore about our offense, besides the fact that it sucks. We have the Defense this year, but just like everyother year, our Defense lets us down....

[Biscuit]

It was a tough game but it's hard to blame just one person. The Jags defense shut it down. WRs couldn't get open to save their lives and the O-Line couldn't block long enough for someone to break the coverage. I thought Joe played pretty considering those facts, doesn't matter who the QB is in that situation, if everyone is covered what do you do? I do however question the game planning and play calling. The Jags have been running a zone defense all year so I would imagine that is what the Ravens planned for, when they came out with man coverage just about all night, why wasn't the game plan altered? Man coverage, especially as aggressive as the Jags were playing it can be beat with bunch formations, screens, picks, bumps, and drag routes that run away from the coverage.

For those of you that are blaming Joe I will give you a few reasons why what happened at the end of the game last night was not his fault. (1) Flacco ran the no huddle in college and in some instances in years past and has excelled at it, the "no huddle" last night was delayed because of play calling. (2) No one in the huddle believes that Joe is to blame, last night when the plays were coming in there was a point where Joe turned to the side line and the camera showed EVERY player in the huddle looking at the sideline with a what the heck is going on look all over their face, again it was directed towards the side line not Joe. (3) Another time during the "no huddle" there was a sub package sent onto the field, they got into the huddle and then after the huddle started, they were pulled and a different sub package came in.

I literally have no idea what the coaching staff was doing last night. Alot of which falls on Cam and him being to stubborn (or oblivious) to alter the game plan.

[J.O.14]

I meant our Offense lets us down...

[Biscuit]

Sorry about that rant, it is just frustrating to see no change in what the offense is trying to do when their game plan clearly isn't working.

[Bmorebirds2000]

Upset at first but not worried. This team will be fine.
