You’ve got to hand it to Mike Preston, love him or hate him I still think he’s got the inside track on what is truly going on in the Ravens locker room. Preston spoke with Ravens head coach John Harbaugh after Thursday’s press conference and Harbaugh told him communication issues may have made Joe Flacco hesitant at times during the 2010 season.
But head coach John Harbaugh probably dropped the best gem about the season when pulled aside and asked if there was a disconnect between Flacco, offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and possibly quarterbacks coach Jim Zorn.
“That is legitimate,” said Harbaugh. “There may have been some communication issues which resulted in Joe being hesitant at times. It’s something we have talked about since the end of the season.”
Preston explained the differences in styles between Cameron and Zorn and explains that the Ravens never “found a rhythm” this season.
These quotes are hilarious.
You bring in Zorn and have him try to learn the offense while also coaching the QB?
You acknowledge communication breakdowns AFTER the season and infer that you did nothing about it during the season.
Good grief.
Mark, you are spot on,they are hilarious. Those remarks are not a surprise to me and my"buds" we picked up on the problem after the jets game, Joe would come to the side lines and chat with Zorn then walk away with a bewildered look on his face. Zorn was neither a good QB or coach as evident with his debacle with the Redskins.
Wow, I'm really surprised.
Here's a novel idea, allow Joe Cool to access the defense and call his own plays. Oh that's right, he's a robot who can only play sections of the field. Maybe some of the disconnect was "the play runs to the right"- Flacco's right or the coach's right?
I'm really glad that the Great Harbaugh "talked about this since the end of the season". Glad he was proactive and took care of this right away. He's quite a coach, knew there was a problem and addressed once the season was over. Biscotti has himself in quite a mess. By all appearances "Joe from Essex" thinks everything is great, team has made 3 straight trips to the playoffs, etc. Biscotti knows the truth, but would take a serious PR hit if he let Harbs contract out.
