[News] Ravens Fire Offensive Coordinator Marc Trestman

[steelcityraven]

I will admit.... I really thought that Trestman would produce a little better then he did.... he simply never seemed to be able to make progress. I think we were stuck under him... and this was clearly the right move at the right time. Glad we had a guy like Marty in house and on staff.

[thisme007]

Nice move! We need to make some more Big Moves.. Go Ravens!

[Purple Dawg 96]

Now let Joe call his own plays so I can get my Gunslinger back!

[reddog54]

Our offense, makes any team we play, look like the greatest defense to ever play the game!.....and our dear coach excels with bad decision making capabilities 4th & 12 fake FG..........Makes toooooo many of these calls!

[bioLarzen]

I was one of the last riders of the Trestman-bandwagon, but yesterday I said I was off. I would have never thought I'd once say I wish I had Cam Cameron back - but or O this season has been worse than his.

I also wanted to express my hope that it won't take Harbaugh as much time to fire Trestman as it took for Cam - but then said let's wait a week or two.

Glad we won't have to now... Sorry, Marc, but this has been awful.

[bioLarzen]

BTW, do we know whose call it was that with 1 second on the clock in the 2nd half, at our own 25, instead of taking a knew we tried something (god knows what) - that ended up costing us our RT for the second half?

Im with you... I hope Pees is on notice.... at least bring him in an assistant to help him out!

#1 ranked Defense........ He's not going anywhere. Neither is Leslie Frazier. Those two together have put together a VERY decent defense.

It's like I said. I think when Flacco used the words Frustrated and Embarrassing, that was enough.

Nothing will change that much. The offensive line and special teams are bad.

offensive line could still run block. if you run the ball more it will open up throwing lanes coaching 101

Running the ball also allows the O-line to deliver hits instead of taking hits in a pass protection stance.

[The Mom Gene]

Everyone got their wish

Yup... so now we'll see how fast things change. It's not the entire answer. I get very tired of the "FIRE___________" (Fill in the Blank); every week. Which I wouldn't doubt isn't part of the problem too. A revolving door is ridiculous. I surely hope that Marty is ready for it too. We've heard Cameron, Caldwell, EVEN Kubiak at times...Jump on over to Castillo and Pees... and now Trestman.

We have more problems. And we are not the team that we could be considering our roster. We have a great roster when healthy. But when you have 4 out of 5 guys on your O-Line out hurt, and a 5th one goes down... Houston??? We WILL have a problem protecting Joe. THAT is not on Trestman.

Let's hope that we can salvage our season.

Harbs has to give the OK. Reminds me of the Rams game when Joe got hurt. There a difference between aggressive and foolish. Harbs is foolish. When have these fake FG ever worked?

What are you talking about? Pees on notice. If it was not for his defense playing very well, the Ravens would easily be 0-5 with no sign of slowing the suffering down. Maybe his pass rush is not among the best in the league, but the best pass rushes have more to do with exceptional players making unbelievable plays over just a DC making a good play call.

I will also very clearly point out that had the offense been able to stay on the field and produce even the NFL average points per game, this defense would be much better simply from not being gassed as the game goes into the fourth quarter. Cannot drop the entire load on the defense like that and expect miracles to happen when the offense decides to disappear for 3 quarters plus.

Ravenous, I completely agree with you ?

[towens2921]

I guess they fired Trestman because they can't fire Perriman and Moseley. If either of those guys makes the plays pros are supposed to make, we win that game easily. You can add Hester to that pile also, who seems to have no clue how to field punts any more. Our "special" teams were a joke yesterday. If they want to fire a coach, they should fire the special teams coach. We lost 16-10 and we gave up a punt-return touchdown. The defense only gave up one touchdown all game. That's a great effort. We constantly gave up yards on punts. How do we not cut Hester? Oh that's right... we have no one else.

[surfdude]

Guys I'm afraid the team just isn't any good. Same old schemes nothing new. Most teams when they play the Ravens look like they have the playbook as well both offensive and defense. Team has talent but coaching is stale.

With an injured o-line you should run the ball even more not pass it 40 50 times which does fall squarely on Trestman. Especially when you are having success with it.

[Raven_Lunatic]

Idk, I think Trestman is a little underrated as an Offensive Coordinator...look at how he's had all us fans offended these past two years! ;)

[BMORE = BEASTING]

Ray Rice.... Answer your phone.

Agreed!

[stevec]

need to replace offensive line coach too. Castio might be old friend with Harbaugh but he has done nothing for the line. 1 year with Kubiak in control of the offense including the line they were 110% better than the year before. The line has been on the decline again with Kubiak's departure.

Firing Trestman is a great start to bettering the team.

Idk who's call it was but I was waiting for a hail Mary to our speedsters with max protection but... flacco was sacked in under 3 seconds and as you said, Wagner hurt

Agree but I ask this; when is Harbs going to be held accountable for his coaches? Doesn't he review the game plans? It's obvious from his press conference he didn't even realize Trestman abandoned the run yesterday. When is he going to learn how to manage a game and make the necessary in game changes?

your question doesnt make sense.
you're basically asking him to be the offensive coordinator.
he's a special teams guy.

He made a hire, it didnt work, he replaced the guy.
what do you want?

No, I'm not asking him to be the OC but he is the HC who has the responsibility to oversee every facet of the game just like every other person in his position.

Great, he's a special teams guy - where is he on the Special Teams then?

[The Greek]

jets were a very good rushing team in 13,14 under morningweg. passing game had geno smith and co. so the verdict is still out

Why exactly does Mosley need to be fired, figuratively speaking?? Because he made a mistake completing a defensive TD after his intercept? First off, the offense needs to making the TDs, and second, Mosley is one of our best players on defense, period. The entire team had problems yesterday, some more than others, but Mosley's error was not the main problem or problems at all. Otherwise I agree with you on most of what you are saying.

anyone who is saying the defense did bad are crazy. the defense fell 2nd half b/c the offense was getting 3 an outs pretty much the whole time. defense couldn't get any rest and of course the defense is going to fall if they are out there only after a minute time of rest each time. the defense did their job. now we have to get focused on this offense with as much talent as we have we should be able to run anything and get into field goal range at least. but now that trestman is fired hopefully things will be good. yea i didn't like the call going for it on 4th down with the fake field goal. but at the same time it was a good play and would have worked if gilmore didn't trip up on his release and cox threw it a bit better. i like John as our HC.

[The Greek]

glad harbaugh had someone on board with oc exp. the o-line is the big issue. need to get healthy. giants game will be tough. time to start perriman and give him the chance as the #1. pass rush needs to get back to where it was the 1st 3 games. more judon, correia, z man

[bigcatfrank1]

Trestman had his chance, I do believe with better play selection the Ravens could have won that game. The offense was working fine with Flacco under center in the first quarter. The run game was flourishing and play action was being set up well. Slowly the Ravens played themselves right out of the game, instead of becoming more aggressive with the play action, run and attack downfield successfully. Offense is about adjusting , just like defense.
Now the Defense was not impressive either, going into a prevent D with the lead is never a good formula for the Ravens. Enough times , Cousins had more time to throw the ball, allowing him to find receivers downfield. So Pee's better get his crap together or he may go too! Lastly, big time players need to make big time plays.....Perriman is supposed to be a 1st draft pick- value? Mosely too? These guys MUST play to their potential, quickly, there is no time to wait.

[designermaryland]

this won't change anything, because Flacco is still clueless, no matter who is calling the plays. those who think he has no time: other teams do not all have stellar O lines. the qb's bide time by moving to avoid the rush and allow receivers to get open. Joe is panicking within 3 seconds if there is even the hint of pressure and dumping to the easiest safety valve. same stuff has been going on since he was drafted through several OC's and different schemes, so obviously the coordinator is not the real problem. unless we trade and pickup a veteran lineman to shore up the line, this is what you get. i predict 5-11 based on what i have seen so far.

[ravens4life86]

On the bright side..2000&2012 Ravens go on to win SBs after Skins get lucky

So heres to a new day, Mourningweg bringing balance&normalcy to offense and getting away from wacked out 50 passes a game to 18 runs

[Hardhitters]

If we could only get Harbaugh to fire himself then just maybe Tucker would be kicking field goals to add to the lead.
