The official say good bye to the 2013 season, your favorite plays and least favorite plays

[arnie_uk]

I'm not disputing your claim, but where was this reported? I've only heard this from you and one other poster. I haven't seen it from other posters, the website, or in the media

mckinnie started it when he went out. Pretty sure preston got a quote from a current player saying similar in that article still on the first page.

Man, i'm already going through Ravens playoff withdrawal.

 

It's hard after 5 straight years not getting in. i guess I will watch the playoffs.

 

My favorite play of the season was the KC kicker misssing the field goal and the fact that

San Diego should have been called for a penalty on the play allowing another field goal try!

None of those articles said anything at all about Castillo installing the inside ZBS....

 

Also, one of the sites showed how simple the ZBS is and how we DID execute it a few times. That indicates to me that the players suck, not Castillo.

edit: the fifth small paragraph down the page...

 

"Ravens offensive line has been the worst unit in football. So what is the problem? There is not a singular answer to this question. New offensive line coach Juan Castillo has installed a new zone blocking scheme but the Ravens simply don't have the personnel to run the scheme. "

 

the very first link that I provided is McKinnie talking about Juan and his changes etc. lol

 

 

there is a current thread discussing the Preston article which said the same thing. and you participated in that discussion. your attempt to make me look like an idiot failed in the future  stick to the facts .

or try actually reading the articles so you don't look like one

Okay, that was speculation from Yardbarker. That's not even a legit media site, and there were no quotes to support it. Yawn. Still nothing to prove your claim that we installed the inside ZBS. So, don't call me an idiot. Not one of those addressed an inside zone blocking scheme. I read the articles, did you?

What? I'm reading these links and there is nothing at all that says anything about an INSIDE zone blocking scheme. Yeah, we used the outside ZBS, we've done that for years. Everybody on the planet knows that! Where's your proof about the inside ZBS, bud? :)

 

Oh, and how do our guys NOT fit the ZBS?

 

Monroe is athletic. KO is athletic. Shipley is okay, but he played LG out of necessity. Gino is very athletic for a center. Yanda's a good athlete, and so is Oher. They all fit the mold of a ZBS lineman.

I provided the links  its not my fault that you can't read them . and if you can't tell the difference in a zone stretch play , or an inside zone block then I can't help you either. there are plenty of website on the net to help you with that.

They fit, but Shipley is horrible at ZBS and will never get much better. Oher isn't going to improve too much either. But I'm not sure you understand how ZBS works if you  can't see that we used to run ZBS plays mainly just with Leach and this year we moved to a full on version targeting the inside as well. You are right about those guys fitting into ZBS but it seems you haven't learned much about the actual scheme to tell the difference. Runamuk knows what he's talking about.

You are really the smartest person here. You have really proved your point. Way to go, champ.

thanks for the support. I do agree we do need to change the offense we can't keep firing Oc's when every year the offense sputters and is flat at times. Happy new year

I give support when it's due. Happy New Year to all.

Favorite: No doubt when Flacco drove down the field and threw it to Marlon Brown.

Though, another one has to be when Tucker scored the 61 yarder, it was AMAZING... Unfortunately that would be the last high point of the season.

 

Least Favorite: On 3rd down, Peyton threw a ball that should've been called incomplete off the bounce with a ref right there.

Instead, Harbaugh didn't challenge it and it ended up starting a momentum shift to the Broncos as they score a touchdown on that drive.

I know the feeling.  A few of my friends tonight told me that they bet I felt weird because the Ravens have always been in the playoffs the past 5 years and now they are not.  One of my friends even said; "I bet you don't know what to do with yourself during the playoffs without seeing your team in the mix"  lol!

Dude Owns you and you post this rofl. Not his fault you made a fool of yourself .

We got some additional Ravens party supplies for Christmas. Now we gotta wait till next year to use them.

in the zone blocking scheme there are three types, outside zone blocking , inside and stretch. like you said , everyone knows we have been using stretch and outside zone plays for years. that only leaves one kind inside zone blocking. COMMON sense tells you that castillo was in fact installing the entire zbs system primarily inside blocking why would he be teaching the other two when the team has been executing oz and stretch for years?. 5 of the above articles do mention Castillo and his job being changes to the run game mainly zbs from legit news sources. One other of those articles was an interview with McKinnie which verified every single word  the 2 other posters said.

 

http://boards.baltim...ctional/page-14

under this topic you talk about the inside zone blocking that the players are struggling with . so which is it? and what is the purpose of the above post claiming that "I'm not disputing your claim" and the other post following it .  You know exactly what Castillo was hired for and exactly what scheme he was installing , in you own words prior to these post you talked about inside  zbs and the problems with it .and one of the main article in the news section confirms Castillo's was hired specifically for that. .

 

lastly if the players were a fit IZ it wouldn't have been such a horrific failure.

My favorite plays this season were Jacoby Jones's touchdown against the Vikings, Marlon Brown's touchdown against the Vikings, Justin Tucker's 61 yard field goal against Detroit, Daryl Smith's interception return for a touchdown, Tandon Doss's return touchdown, Matt Elam's interception against Detroit, and Ray Rice's run on the ending possession of the Detroit game, off the top of my head.

 

My least favorite plays were the Wes Welker incomplete pass that did not get challenged, the touchdowns in the Vikings game that were at the end of the game, Flacco's knee hit in the Detroit game, all of the plays that were run in the middle that gained barely any yards,and the play where Justin Tucker missed the field goal in the Patriots game which ended his streak.

[Jokerraven]

reading this we did have allot of memorable plays this year , just disappointing it ended how it did and the draft was moved to may the offseason will seem longer

[PerpetuallyBored74]

Favorite Plays - all the great ones, especially the ones that helped us win.

Least Favorite Plays - all the ones where our guys got hurt or that blew the game for us.

[rdifatta]

Getting over the anger and humiliation of the Bengal butt-kicking.  Now settling into 

empty feeling of watching playoffs without the Ravens.  Listening to the constant

barrage of blame and negativity....please, please, please everyone!

One of the greatest moments of happiness for 2013- a Ravens Super Bowl Championship!

Please don't let this great achievement get lost in a sea of recrimination!

[Gordo52]

It could've been worse......

We could be Texans fans still waiting to use Ed Reed for the playoffs.

[Ravenslifer]

It could've been worse......

Or Jets fans waiting for it to happen.

The pittsburgh game was very exciting on thanksgiving especially, that first long pass to Torrey, and then the last two minutes against the vikings were wild, then to cap off that 3 game span with a 61 yard field goal from Tucker. That was my favorite stretch of the season by far, felt like we were starting to put it together. And then obviously the next two games, especially the let down against the pats were the worst. In the cinci game when A.J Green caught that long td pass, i just had a really bad feeling, downhill from there. But we just won a championship, so it lessons the sting of this upsetting season. So weird not being in the mix of things...
