I mentioned in Quick Hits that Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron can put together some awesome game plans or some terrible ones. But the one thing he never does is adjust them at halftime.
The Ravens went into the locker room on Monday night having no momentum and nothing going right for them on offense. The line was getting pressured, receivers were tightly covered and Joe Flacco had a bad Joe Flacco night. Records were being set by the offense and not in a good way. They had just 16 total yards on offense in the first thirty minutes of play.
The thing I kept questioning was Ray Rice’s lack of touches. After a couple weeks of Air Flacco, in which the Ravens threw some deep bombs to Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin, Cam Cameron’s game plan, etched in stone, read that Baltimore would throw the ball to beat the Jags. Only the first part of it came to fruition.
The Ravens biggest threat on offense, Ray Rice, only rushed for 28 yards and was clearly frustrated by his lack of touches. The ESPN crew even discussed Rice sitting on the sideline by himself, shaking his head while he was off the field on a third down play.

Aaron Wilson Terrell Suggs: ‘It baffles me that Ray Rice only had six carries [eight for 28 yards]. This is a Pro Bowl running back we’re talking about.”

“It baffles me that Ray Rice only had six carries,” linebacker Terrell Suggs told Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times. Rice actually had eight, but I get his point. “This is a Pro Bowl running back we’re talking about.” Suggs is absolutely correct. If the Ravens wanted to throw the ball then fine, but when it didn’t work it was time to establish the run.
Wilson reports that Cameron agreed with Suggs assessment, though he never changed the play calling of the offense.
I can’t believe Cameron is still here,,,,,,,,,and didn’t Harbaugh say he was going to get more involved in the offense this year,,,,,,,,,,goes to show you how much he knows about coaching anything other than special teams,,,,,,,,,,
Then again, this guy has been legit for baltimore since coming here,,,,,,,can’t argue with his record including the playoffs,,,,,,thats why I’m sitting on the couch.
Spry sit on couch watch game with “Rosie Palm and her 5 friends”
Chowman , your and idiot , can’t you tell the second comment was an imposter and not the real spy,,,,,,,,I think you should try hari-kari one more time and try to concentrate this time………….
If you haven’t realized the real spy has let the ‘double personality thing go , you are dumber than I thought , actually you may just well be the imposter……….
Chow, what’s up? Celebrating my 53rd Birthday today. Only thing I can say about the game last night is that I feel sorry for the Cardinals next Sunday. I guarantee the Ravens won’t play like they did last night, against the Steelers in 2 weeks.
Happy Birthday BM1958…sorry your team put in such a poor performance last night; however, you’re right. The Cardinals will bear the brunt of the anger but I wouldn’t count on the same result in Pittsburgh!
@islandgirl,
BM1958 is a personal friend of mine and a devout Steelers fan, like yourself. No kidding, season ticket holder and great guy.
Happy Birthday 1958! You share your birthday with my daughter, Madison!
Thank You MGW. The Ravens will CRUSH the Cardinals. I just hope the Steelers can improve on their 1-6 record against Tom Brady.
Didn’t Cam get fired from Indiana? He is overrated and can’t coach. Get a real OC. They talk a lot about getting Flacco more passes in the off season, then when the season starts, he is reeled in. Same thing different year.
Flacco really doesn’t need more passes because he never throws it anyway. He holds the ball entirely too long. A lot of you guess are pumping him up to be something he is not. Flacco would make a great back up quarterback. But not a starter. My reason saying this is because every year we lose in the playoffs people keep saying he is getting better but I don’t understand what is getting better about him? He is the same guy that holds the ball forever and gets nervous quarterback. Ray Rice is the offensive focus not Flacco.
BM1958 what up my homie? BM1958, Chow, Saki, General Tso chicken, Raven game equal good night for BM1958. What say birthday boy? BM1958 wear he Steerer boxers and chow wear he Adarius Thomas jersey. waka waka. Rack em stack em Chow and BM1958 going to jack em. let roll BM1958.
gay guys….
Hi Zach Wilt,
Speaking of which, There isn’t a team in the league that’s given their fans more to cheer about over the last 10 years than the Patriots. Three Super Bowls wins in four appearances, seven division titles, a 16-0 regular season, a record setting offense, the list goes on.
