^Yea, that wasn't really the point I wanted to make. I would hate losing Flacco just when he showed the nation he was capable of what I've been saying/hoping for the last 5 years.
Signing a franchise player is 2 first round picks, btw. |

Flacco isn't any good. Just a game manager. Russell has shown his potential. |

It's always fun to look back at threads like those. I love to look back on the Flacco vs. Freeman threads, the "Ryan Fitzpatrick is a top 10 QB" threads, etc. Not to mention the KC Chiefs threads from this past off-season (which, btw, I've noticed the KC fans coming out of the wood work again this off-season).

That's the greatest...
Do you think whoever finalizes the probowl ballots "stuffed the ballot box" just to eff with everyone on FF? (obviously joking, but a funny thought).

| Cam Cameron was hired as the offensive coordinator at LSU a few days ago. I can't say I'm surprised he couldn't land another job in the NFL at that position right away. |

| So the high of the superbowl win is starting to fade away with the exception of everytime i see a steelers fan a get a smirk on my face =] lol. now i am in full offseason mode. I just started to think to myself WOW next year we could have a healthy Suggs Ngata Webb, Flacco is coming off an elite performance hopefully he can continue that, Graham has solidified himself as a starter our offense should be returning in tact with the exception of Birk which is great and if we can have a good draft (MINTER =]) we could add some great pieces and OMG next season can be something special. September is way too far away i cant wait |

The one thing that really concerns me about this team is the lack of speed in the front seven.
We have absolutely no speed at all from our DLine to our linebackers other than Dannell Ellerbe. That needs to be addressed majorly.

For a team that runs a base 3-4 I think they're fine in terms of speed along the DL. Ngata, Jones, and McPhee are all at least average in that department (McPhee is probably above average) and although Cody is the antithesis of "fast" he's also a NT so you're not getting a guy that can move much at that position anyways.
To me it starts and ends at LB - specifically ILB. The Ravens are going need need another pass-rusher/OLB when Kruger signs somewhere else but the majority of the problems concerning range and quickness in their front seven stems from the ILB position in my opinion. We all know that Lewis had some major problems in that area the last couple of seasons and McClain isn't much better. Even Ellerbe isn't that fast although he's clearly the most mobile ILB on the team that actually plays. I think getting one or two ILBs in the draft that have some range will solve a lot of Baltimore's speed issues in the front seven. |

I honestly think he'll do a good job there. Les Miles is a pretty conservative coach to begin with, and with superior athletes compared to the competition at LSU Cam's going to be able to run a pretty affective power run scheme if that's the direction he wants to go in. Not to mention, where Cam has always excelled in his career is bringing young pups along and giving them good shelter as they develop (for all we came to hate about Cam, most people were pretty happy with his work with Flacco as far as his first 2 years were concerned). Where he struggles is getting those players to the next step, but in college, instead of having to get them to the next step, they just graduate and he starts over again with young players to protect and develop. I can see him doing really good things in college. Seems much better suited to his strengths.

Totally agree. I think he could be really good in college. The way he coddles his QB's, it fits him a lot better to coach the younger guys. His simplified offense will probably be a lot more effective in college too.

I agree with this. It's similar to how Mattison is actually a good defensive coordinator in college. |

I absolutely disagree. For a 3-4 you need speed at OLB and ILB. I could care less about our interior guys, but we don't have ANY speed at linebacker other than Ellerbe. Suggs is slow (because of his achilles, he might be faster next year but who knows), Upshaw is slow, McClellan is slow, Kruger is slow, Jameel and Ayan are slow. When you look at TRUE 3-4 defenses (Pittsburgh, SF, SD, ARI, WAS), they have speed at almost all the LB positions, and we simply don't have that.
The days of dual-threat QB's are rapidly approaching and our defense is stuck in the old school mode of having big, strong guys who can stop the run instead of athletic freaks who can do both.
