Former Colts coach Jim Caldwell is replacing Cam Cameron as Ravens offensive coordinator. I really have no idea how competent Caldwell will be. Although he's been a college and pro head coach he's never been a coordinator or called plays.

As expected:
SNF 12/23 49ers/seahawks flexed in -- chargers/jets moves to 1:00 & giants/ravens (which fox protected) moves to 4:25....cbs had protected bengals/steelers.

Don't get me wrong, I believe Cousins will be good. I just don't think he's ready yet, and I hope Washington does well purely based on how much I like RG3.

Yeah I don't think so either... I'm just relieved I'm hearing things like that rather than Jamarcus Russell type things or Rex Grossman going to parties and holding up condoms and saying whose ready to F*.

Really looking forward to the Pats game tonight, should give us a good idea of whether the Texans are "for real" or not.

Ravens fans must be estatic now cam cameroj is gone, caldwell cant possibly be worse

Dez tearing ligaments in his hand and going out for the season all but kills our chances of reaching the post-season. So glad we chose not to properly address our WR depth in the off-season, especially after La La Robinson went to Jacksonville.

In the past 4 games the Cardinals offense has actually scored more points for the other team than for themselves

I meant to say Sad. I wonder what he was suspended for? he's barely played at all.

Smart move by the 49ers to suspend Jacobs rather than release him. If they had released him I could have seen the Giants having interest in a reunion with Ahmed Bradshaw banged up, which could have led to the 49ers having to go up against Jacobs in the playoffs.

In short, Cameron is a control freak. He has been for years. Ask people who were in Miami when he served as Dolphins head coach for just one season (2007) and you'll hear stories about how it was actually easier for people in the building to deal with Nick Saban than Cameron.

That is why, despite a pretty reasonable performance by Baltimore's offense against Washington, this move had to be made. Whether that was now or in the offseason, the Ravens were going to have to divorce themselves of Cameron if they eventually wanted to keep Flacco happy.

Subbing in Jim Caldwell, the low-key former quarterback coach to Peyton Manning and eventual Colts head coach, was a terrific first move. While Caldwell is just as smart as Cameron, one of Caldwell's best qualities is that he doesn't crave attention. Caldwell is a facilitator of other people's success. He knows when to interject himself and when to back away.

By contrast, Cameron is like the Advanced Placement high school teacher who wants to show everybody how smart he is every day. He's also overtly religious and comes off as a preacher at times, rather than a compatriot.

Between Flacco, running back Ray Rice and wide receivers Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin, the Ravens have still managed to be a top-10 scoring offense at 25.5 points per game. However, the unit has faced its share of scrutiny, often leading Flacco to make snide remarks and replies to reporters about how they should go talk to Cameron.

The issues between the pair apparently became significantly worse in 2010. That season, the Ravens brought in Jim Zorn to be the quarterback coach. The gregarious, enthusiastic Zorn got along great with Flacco, but rubbed Cameron the wrong way. Some people believe that Cameron became concerned about how well Zorn and Flacco got along. Whatever it was, Zorn was out after one season.

If you don't make the playoffs it won't be because of that it'll be because of things like this:
http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-sh...2579--nfl.html

Jones, who has a habit of talking to players in the locker room after games to offer encouragement or prodding, apparently walked up to the oft-injured Ratliff and said just three words: "We need you."
Ratliff then got to his feet and an argument ensued. Credit Jones; the 70-year-old didn't back down from the 6-foot-4, 300-pound lineman (though the fact that Jones signs Ratliff's checks might have had something to do with it). Team officials had to separate what one individual called a "volcanic" confrontation.

I know a very important person who probably has a real shot at getting the CFO job with the redskins

me meet Dan Snyder and rg3

Enough's Enough: ESPN's Skipper Says Net Will Dial Back Its Coverage Of Tim Tebow

While the network was roundly criticized for sending multiple reporters to Jets training camp this summer, Skipper said he did not mind that coverage. "Training camp was fine. The guy's very popular. In our business, we do want to drive ratings. You've just got to keep long-term, short-term in mind." And when ESPN even mentioned Tebow, ratings would increase immediately. That caused producers to try to work Tebow stories into their shows to push ratings higher. But Skipper said he recently told ESPN producers not to be seduced by the short-term ratings fix that mentioning Tebow produced. "We've had some good discussions internally about trying to be careful. In some ways, the more difficult internal conflict is between long-term story telling and ratings. We all know that if you focus on the Tebow story, for the next 10 minutes you're going to do better. But the question is trying to take a long-term perspective and saying, 'Guys, let's not get over excited about one story and hyping it.'"
