Well, the run better improve now...otherwise I'm calling it: Justin was made the fall guy for an inept run strategy. If the run improves it means that Dixon and/or West simply had more production to offer than Forsett. If it doesn't improve it means the Ravens brass threw a loyal, committed, dedicated, and classy player under the bus. Guess time will tell.

Well, gee. Without Forsett, their YPC went from an average of 3.3 a game to 5.1 this past week. I guess that was improvement! Time has ALREADY told.

Against the worst rush defense in the league. I'll withhold final judgement.

I personally think the guy was a class act in a low class league. I also think he lost a step or two but I am so sick of Harbaugh. He can't call offense, he can't call defense, he can not manage the clock, he makes bad decisions during the game, loses most challenges, talks out of both sides of his mouth, than has the nerve to say that it's a competitive league. It may be competitive for the players but not the coaches. I see a lot of similarities between Brian Billick and John Harbaugh. They both recycle coaches from the pool of failures. I can not for the life of me understand why Trestman is the OC. I wish they would have made Kubiak the head coach and let Harbaugh go. Billick made it 9 years as head coach of the Ravens and this is Harbaugh's 9th year. In my opinion, it's time to part ways with John. In 8 years, the only time the offense had any spark was under Kubiak. Here are the Offensive rankings from 2008 to 2015 (18, 13, 22, 15, 16, 29, 12, 14). They are currently ranked 19th. Over 8 years, the average ranking for yards is 18th. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I truly believe that one of Flacco's biggest challenges is having to adjust to all the incompetent OC's. In the last 5 years, he has had to deal with Cam Cameron (fired), Jim Caldwell (fired), Gary Kubiak (hired away by John Elway), Marc Trestman (firing date to be announced). Anyone that expects a top 10 offense is expecting something that has never happened under Harbaugh or Billick. You have to go back to 1997.

We have went to the playoffs 6/8 years with this year yet to be determined under him. He's a special teams coach, not a DC or OC, and we have the best special teams unit in the nfl. We've won a SB, and may have won one 2 years ago, had it not been for our awful 2ndary surrendering two 14 point leads to the Pats. We have always been known for our defensive, we've never not been a defensive team. The offense is just like a role player who does their part to keep the team going. So those stupid offensive rankings you just pulled up are irrelevant. Kubiak's offense ws not perfect while he was here anyway. We were a dink and dunk team even with a good o-line and legit deep threat (torrey smith). He's was a OC and their defense is the only reason they've been winning since he's been there, which was similar when he was in Houston, so I don't care to have him as our OC or HC, Harbaugh is just fine with me.

Class act, but only had one good year here. Didn't do good last year and regressed and didn't impress this year in a talented, young back field.

Ravens family concept is really playing games. First, they cut him then bring him back and cut him again. Should have let him go the first time around, Screwed up way to send a message to the team.

It was a mutual agreement, not like they cut him out the blue with him unaware. Just look at how long they held onto Campanaro, trust me, we're are still a family team. Any other roster and he would've been gone year 2

I pray to the Lord that Justin goes to another team and burns the Ravens butt later

Um Why? LOL somebody sounds bitter. You make it sound like they cut you...hahaha. Nobody got screwed here. Forsett cames to the Ravens, made millions, and went to the pro bowl. I think everybody in the equation is just fine. Except you apparently

[sizzlingdoom]

He needs to somehow get to Denver, Kubiak's offense suits him best

yup he'll be a nice scat back/complement to CJ. No doubt he's headed there, to GB, or New England

I wouldn't pray for that but honestly speaking, if anyone is gonna burn the Ravens I'd hope it's Forsett rather than anyone else lol

[stampedehero]

Just ODD JF wanted the out. I hope he ends up on a team that NEEDS a winning record. He proved that to us in 2014. Class Guy..... Hate to see him shuffled elsewhere but its' business. Of Course, JF walks out but with fan appreciation, not disappointment. I'll bet he gets picked up within a week

Well gee, Raiders defense is ranked 31 in stopping the rush...maybe they should have considered this before letting Forsett go so fast.

[Ravensfansince03]

Good move. They will tough it our with the RB's we have now. It sends a message that this organization will not settle for a mediocre run game.

[Ravensfansince03]

It didn't take a rocket scientist to see that Forsett fell off after that one hit wonder season. But judging by some of my fellow member comments on here, you would think that you guys need a rocket scientist to explain why Forsett had to be cut.

For one, he can't break a tackle.

Ball On Justin, Ball On!

[January J]

in hindsight we definitely  should've just let him go the first time, saved that money and put it to use elsewhere. If Dixon didn't go down we very well may have.

[Derrel]

the DB's are still a problem, limited pass rush and no cover guys. Number 24 can't get it done. Move on from him.

Dixon the rookie eh? Well he can do it like Ezekiel Elliot is proving it done. Then again, Dallas specializes on the run, which frustrated my dad for years because they stuck with the run even when it wasn't working lol... but it's finally working for them apparently. Here we don't even value the run, so our rookie has a lot on his plate. Hey, if he's that good he's that good. We'll get to find out here soon.
