well, jansen said it was antiquated and portis said it totally failed to use the player's abilities, so there's two people in the know saying it was majorly flawed right there. oh yeah, they were also ON that wretched offense, so we can probably assume they're credible.
Most coaches and players don't go around shit talking people cause its bad PR and bad business, so when something is wrong they tend to not mention it (whereas EVERYONE will say how great the colts O is, how perfect brady is etc)
and i think part of the problem at the scrimmage (besides samuels being out) was a 46 scheme the ravens were running that we had no film on and only scouted for one (MAYBE two) days.
but still, even in the scrimmage, the D looked decent (though we were missing soo many dbs we did get passed on a bit), ST and cooley showed well, but the O didn't. Its only a scrimmage and i'm waiting till preseason is over before getting worried, but from what i've read from the camps (from fans), what i've seen at camp and this scrimmage, our O still isn't close.
I don't think ramsey is really the problem either... in spurrier's second year, with a slightly weaker O line he came out guns blazing until coles got hurt and everyone memerized spurrier's limited playbook. I think the issue has more to do with scheme and playcalling.
We'll see how the new WRs and O line gel over the next month and how much better our O looks on opening day. We struggled to beat the bears last year when they had a total reject QB, but we did play them last year and they'll be about the best measuring stick we'll have.
