[The Greek]

smart move hiring juan castillo. he is a great o-line coach and will help this team moving forward.

[CQ1]

Great job, Jim. Glad to see you are staying !

[dvel24]

In retrospect, losing to the Redskins was a blessing in disguise. Caldwell has been great at O.C... What perfect timing it is to be playing your best football all season on both sides of the ball.

Great News wow just keep getting better as a team now juan Castillo as help with running scheme and Oline help wow really gonna be dominating the Dline now!

There is little to suggest that we will slow down any time soon. We are making that last ride all the way to victory in New Orleans. I know that Flacco will be throwing the ball deep in the dome.

Absolutely amazing job by Jim thus far. Let's see what he can add to Cam's playbook next season, though. The Castillo hire was genius. Per the Aaron Wilson article and the NFL.com article, it seems that he has been around the team the past few weeks since he was fired by the Eagles. Anyone think his recent inputs affected the OUTSTANDING play by the Ravens o-line and the re-emergence of Big Mac? If so, great move by Harbs, who I'm sure had great connections with Castillo as a former member of the Eagles squad.

Here what they're talking about in foxbrough...Matt Pepin, Boston.com

"The Baltimore Ravens saw the trepidation, the uncertainty, the confusion. And what they sensed most from the Patriots in the darkness at Gillette Stadium on Sunday night was something we have not witnessed for a very long time.

Fear.

And so it ends this time the way it has ended many times before in recent years, with the Patriots succumbing to a tougher, more physical team in the late stages of the NFL postseason. ...

No excuses this Monday, Patriots fans. No talk of Rob Gronkowski's arm, of Aqib Talib's hamstring, of Chandler Jones' ankle. Baltimore has had more than its share of issues this year. The Ravens still came into Foxborough on Sunday, shook the Patriots' hands at the coin toss, then punched New England squarely in the face.

And the Patriots just took it."

In game adjustments? Who knew an O-coordinator could do that?

[Mystigo_Dragon]

Well, for lack of any other explanation, the change worked!

Remember back when there was a "no holds barred" meeting? What came out of that was a ultimatum - either Cam changes or we're DONE! It was a lose-the-locker-room-or change moment!

John, ever the 'company man" and loyal friend, negotiated a truce,.. but nothing really changed with the ensuing win, then loss!

Enter Jim Caldwell!

Now, we're in the Super Bowl,... Joe's being called elite, and Harbs is now a great coach with a Super Bowl appearance after 3 AFC championship games!!!

...

Uh-huh!

[towens2921]

He outcoached Belichick... that was all the resume he needed.

[Ravensallday24/7]

Well good thing weather won't affect the deep ball since were playing in a dome. I know guys like Ed Reed want to put on a show in that dome since its his home town.

Caldwell = MVP of the coaching staff

Does Cameron still get a ring after we win ? Or does he just get some SB cuflinks ? :)

[Ravensallday24/7]

And thank you Vegas...for making us the underdog in 3 of our 4 playoff games. Who would of thought we could of been to the Super Bowl every year by changing one thing...Cam Cameron. Like we said before EVERY QB or team has gotten better after Cam left. Drew Bree's turning Elite, the Dolphins making the Playoffs after firing Cam and going 1-15, and what a coincidence...Joe is balling(12 TDs, 1 Int) since Caldwell turned OC.

Run game coordinator hmmm interesting

[ALSKAN RAVEN FAN]

Caldwell staying is just another great thing for the Ravens. Caldwell has been a great addition to the Ravens I wish we could have had him calling the plays all this year.
