Paul Johnson to Ravens mini-camp

I don’t know how much TO they discussed, but our power running game (not option) was excellent the past few years. It is what killed Miss St and UK in the bowls. It worked fairly well under TM.

Getting some advice on blocking schemes for a single back set wouldn’t be a bad idea.
 
Don't know if some are saying this visit is some sort of great accomplishment or validation of some sort for CPJ.

Doesn't concern GT so I could not care less.

But a buddy reminded me today that after leaving GT that CCG was an NFL asst coach and an NFL HC for 6 years.

Freaking ccg.

öööö ccg.

Doubt we'll see anything that closely resembles the flexbone. I could see Paul being helpful in terms of technique and incorporating more misdirection, pre-snap motion, etc. He's a great offensive mind, and given Jackson's particular skill set, it's worth picking his brain over how he would attack particular defenses.

Would Jackson last more than 1 quarter running the triple-O?

Who knows, dude is skinny – but the rate of QB injury we sustained over the 10 years of the TO experiment was way, way, way lower than people were constantly predicting. Nesbitt's injury – by far the most significant in that time – was from trying to tackle a guy on an interception. Had nothing to do with the TO.

Would have never thrown the INT if the TO specific OL could pass block. /science

I have an insider at the Raven's camp. They were installing a "draw em offsides on 4th down and short" play.

In CPJ's 11 years here, how many times did we actually run a play out of that? I would love to see how many times we:
  • tried the draw-em-offsides play in total
  • got them offsides for a first down
  • called a timeout when it didn't work
  • ran a play and got a 1st
  • ran a play and turned the ball over on downs
I would guess: 95, 20, 70, 4 and 1.

No way we had a 20% success rate drawing them offsides. 10% tops.

I think this play was ultimately a way to see how the defense was aligned and shifted with the motion. The timeout gave us a play to run to counter their alignment.

I may actually watch some Ravens games this year. Jackson is fun to watch already, but if they run some legit option they could be really interesting.

read option was their base play with LJ under center last year. Like all option offenses in the NFL in history, it was tough to sustain down the stretch and especially in the playoffs. Read option is best suited as a situational offense in the NFL rather than your base. Russel Wilson probably runs the most read option plays of any NFL offense but he still doesnt do designed QB runs very often the past several years.

I'd say it only worked once per season and then everyone in the stands and watching TV would LOLZ and wonder if the other team had watched any film for the past 10 years?
