Mattison leaving is the best thing that happened to our defense since 2000

[b][color=#ee82ee][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Rex Ryan, 'nough said. The Jets are nose-diving as an organization. I'm taking wagers on whoever thinks he's going to come out and run his mouth next pre-season about going to the Super Bowl.[/font][/color][/b]

[b][color=#ee82ee][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Greg Mattison is the only one that anything good can be said about. He won the Sugar Bowl! But, he did go back to a college team.[/font][/color][/b]

[b][color=#ee82ee][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Chuck Pagano... good luck, I really mean it.[/font][/color][/b]

[b][color=#ee82ee][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]But when will these other NFL organizations learn that it isn't so much the coordinators coordinating as it is the Ravens' defensive players coaching up the next man inline?[/font][/color][/b]

[b][color=#ee82ee][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]I applaud Pagano, you give me a head-coaching job for a team that couldn't possibly be any worse off... Even if he has a 6-10 season next year, there'll be all kinds of excuses the organization will use to protect him. And they can do that for about three-years. But if things haven't improved after three-years -- Pagano could be looking for another job.[/font][/color][/b]

[b][color=#ee82ee][font=trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif]Feel free to neg me now. But it is the complete truth, the coordinators are not the reason for this defenses success. It's the players coaching each other. Heck, Tim Tebow could coordinate our defense and we wouldn't skip a beat.[/font][/color][/b]

[ghost1986]

I'm sick of people saying "as long as ray is there our DC will be fine." How did we fair with Mattison here? I hope Andrew Luck chokes.

These players will more than likely be Colts next season: Ben Grubbs, JJ, Jameel McClain, Brandon Mckinney, Haruki Nakamura, Corey Redding, Zbikowsiki, Ellerbe, Webb, Cary Williams, Chris Carr, Foxworth. He will take Pees or Brooks to be the D Coordinator for the Colts even though he might be calling the plays.

This makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. why would we jettison our entire defense and a pro bowl guard?
Foxworth and JJ maybe...the rest of them are going no where.
If we lose Grubbs, it wont be to the Colts, O line is the only decent part of that team, thy got guys to protect Manning.

[MrBTJofWaldorf]

How about Jack Del Rio as the new DC for the Ravens???

[Texas Raven Fan]

Do we just train coaches to leave and go to other teams? I'm curious how many coaches have left the Ravens over the last ten years for head coaching jobs. I know the obvious Marvin Lewis, Rex Ryan, and now Chuck Pagano.

Damn

Man you got alot of red on this post, but with the exception of Webb, i wouldnt be surprised if many of these guys end up in Indy.

thats our 4th DCoord in 5 years, i know that much. I'd have to research on the rest, but i'm sure its 8+.

[RavensRockinRings]

I would of rather have Chuck than Cam...I don't hate Cam though. Good "Luck" in Indy Chuck :/ . I do agree with Mr. Waldorf though, we should try to get Jack Del Rio. Defensive coordinators must be salivating at the opportunity to coach our defense.

[SanDiegan Raven]

I'll take Brooks or Pees! Hire from within. Preferably Brooks.

[EAP-2K10]

unbelievable...why do the Ravens do allow there coaching talent to slip away...

[chilloutpeople]

wow, the wound hasn't been heal yet and this.... Ray and Ed please come back. Cam, we better be better on the offense next year, not saying that our defense won't be good anymore.

[RavensWin09]

hue jackson will be OC, pees/brooks/del rio will be DC, and harbaugh will handle ST

[PurplePower27]

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BKeyser]

Anyone think it's time to move back to a 4-3 defense? Here's the rationale:

First, we draft [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7achvXsy3Q"]Vontaze Burfict[/url], and make him heir apparent for Ray Lewis. He's from ASU so he can learn from Sizzle and Ray and play on special teams.

Then you put Cody and Ngata in the middle like we did with Adams and Goose. Redding and JJ start on the ends with McPhee, A Jones, McClellan and McKinney as backups. The linebackers would be Sizzle, Ray and McClain with Kruger, E Jones, Kindle, Bynes and Burfict as backups.

[ravens4life35]

we cant keep anyone can we- i sure hope that our defense will remain dominant over the next decade i hope who ever we get in was as agressive as pagano - and it appears to me that the colts want to be like the ravens - i just hope that this was not a mistake - i understand business but comeon - why cant we keep anyone - rex ryan , marvin lewis , etc all used to be with us and now pagano is gone - thats just great - what a week that we have had - just cannot get any better

[Tremp73]

Anyone want to stab me with a fork this week????

Wouldn't feel it at all......too numb.

Sometimes, you just got to say, what the heck

[balmurravensfan92]

Not to sound pessimistic, but this is a huge blow for the Ravens. Pagano was well-liked and, for some players (i.e: Terrell Suggs) loved. His great personality and likability leave a huge gaping hole that Baltimore has to fill, and at the moment, the only likely replacement for Pagano will be LB's coach Dean Pees. He's changed the attitude of the LB's and he did a great job in his first year for Baltimore. Unfortunately, this coaching move will mean that Jerry Rosburg and Cam Cameron (ugh) will likely stay in Baltimore. However, if Cam goes, I would sign Jim Zorn as our offensive coordinator. He had a great relationship with Flacco and I think he can call some semi-decent plays.

[Billy2448]

Pags had success because we do have the talent that allows him to be aggressive and not worry too much about getting beat. The reason we have talent is because we have a very strong Front Office..Colts just fired pretty much everyone in theirs. Pagano.. We were on the brink of a Super Bowl, and you chose the team thats falling apart everywhere. Good luck.

Whew you said it SAMI

Man this is a blow. I knew it was coming but; I thought we had a few days to recover from Sunday. Geeze!!!

Well good luck Chuck, I'm glad your getting some recognition and some reward for a job well done.

Before you get to fired up on your new job you should have a chat with some of us old timers; about your new "Boss". You picked just about the worst place possible. Anyway good luck.

We'll be fine they come and they go and we just keep on being good, well until Ray and Ed leave then -- I don't want to think about it.

[birdland blitz]

what a lousy week

[Ravens07]

This seriously stings. I feel half happy for Pagano, and half betrayed for leaving so soon (especially to Indy). The logical next guy up is Roy Anderson. He's been the D assistant the past two years. It's unlikely we go out of house to get a DC, we never seem to do that.

[Ravens07]

Also, getting Hue back ASAP would be ideal

[Billy2448]

Wish List:
Hue Jackson- OC
Jack DelRio- DC
Somehow resign Flacco, Rice, Webb, and Grubbs, and if any cap is left JJ too.
Pretty please?

[PeRK82]

I personally think the COLTS jumped the gun on PAGS. , just my opinion.
