RedBeardedSavage Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The Ravens were hit hard with injuries, so I don't put a lot of blame on anyone for their playoff absence this year. They're one of the best organizations in football. But I wonder about Martindale's defenses - they're like Rex's old philosophy and it requires amazing corners and constant blitzing. I just don't think with the way the league enforces the rules that those defenses are nearly as viable anymore. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might do it differently than everyone else, but I respect their originality and Harbaugh's ability to mold the offense to the quarterback he has. How long that style of play can be sustained? Who knows? For that offense and style of play, the loss of both of those RB's early was a huge setback. They also lost Lamar for a few weeks, Stanely for a few more weeks, play in a pretty tough division and still won 8 games. I think that's a pretty good job by Harbaugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackman55 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Martindale is a damn good coach and well respected throughout the league. The Ravens defense was ravaged with injuries this year and it was a miracle they still won 8 games. This is a real shocker. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 People were not really noticing but they weren't really that good with Lamar this year either. And then Lamar got injured which was inevitable as that type of offense is just not sustainable. Firing Martindale seems especially dumb unless they completely change their entire defensive philosophy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pass yards/game isn't a great measure on how effective the defense is. Seattle allowed more pass yards/game than the Jets but surrendered 138 less points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 'good yes man' vs a true innovator. Thoughts? I dont think its that simple. I personally would love Martindale as a DC if there was a way he and Saleh (2 excellent defensive minds) could compromise on a defense. Its just possible, the schemes require different types of players especially at CB and with the differences in man/zone philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocajetfan Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I believe Martndale took the bullet for his guys. Rift began most notably when Harbaugh showed little to no confidence in his D. Defense was poor but lots of injuries Wink I believe felt his D needed to be shown some confidence not torn down mentally with a lack of.

jetsons Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Martindale just might find a home in Pittsburgh, their DC just retired. Pittsburgh Steelers DC Keith Butler Retires - Sports Illustrated Pittsburgh Steelers News, Analysis and More PITTSBURGH STEELERS Steelers DC Keith Butler Retires Keith Butler has been with the Pittsburgh Steelers since 2003. NOAH STRACKBEIN PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler has announced his retirement. "It is an emotional day as I announce I am retiring from my football coaching career," Butler told Steelers.com. "I have spent every year since 1990 as a coach in the NFL and the NCAA, but the time is right for me to walk away after a successful career both playing and coaching the game I love. "I want to thank the Rooney Family, Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin and all the coaches and players that I have been involved with over my entire coaching career. I look forward to spending more time with my family, whom have been so supportive of me throughout the years. I wish nothing but the best to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I will be cheering them on during my retirement." Butler has been with the Steelers since 2003, working as the linebackers coach until 2014 before being promoted to defensive coordinator in January of 2015. The Steelers defensive coordinator position could feature a few candidates but the expectation is defensive assistant Teryl Austin will be promoted into the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
