As someone that never played football beyond backyard games and an intramural flag league in college,I feel like I’ve been able to get a handle on the offensive side pretty easily, but the defensive side escapes me. This channel has helped a lot with that.

I do wish that the broadcast had a different default camera angle other than straight down the line of scrimmage. I bet a lot of this would be at least a little easier to see.

It still amazes me that the NFL hasn't realised that making the All-22 game footage available from like Tuesday onwards of games would essentially be free advertising for them. I get the "if you want it pay for it" philosophy but they'd create an entire industry of free advertising on social media.

part of what makes bowl season cool is that you start getting a number of games that'll use the skycam (and no audio except crowd noise) and its great.

A field mic with no announcers and all 22 is my dream for football broadcasts.

My ideal football watching experience today would be the Prime Vision all-22 angle, with Kevin Harlan doing play by play alone in the booth like he's Vin Scully.

It's not all 22 but years ago I used to just turn off the center channel on audio and it was pretty much just field and crowd noise. Not sure if it's still like that.

the natty drives me insane cause when i lived in england with sky tv, you would get the Red Button for a lot of sports events (tennis and whatever) that would give you options on what game/match/broadcast you wanted to see. that always felt perfect for football (which was on sparingly, I dont think college ball was ever on sky). my dumb vision is letting me get the fuckin game with the local radio calling it. i love gerry with a g sandusky. stan white was great, quadry ismail was probably not the best but he had his moments. its weird as gently caress that rod woodson is on there now, i know he was with us but did the steelers personally piss him off somehow or did 98 rock just offer him enough money and he doesn't care?

anyway, in conclusion

Mike Macdonald was a home run hire but he was also a long time Ravens coach. The Michigan year was practically a loan to his brother.

The Monken hire was great. Dave Canales was another possibility and he probably would have been fine too. just getting this offense into the modern era in terms of the passing game was probably enough

the criticism of him (which I agree with) is that he should have made both coordinator changes before last season. but it's good that he finally has a modern offense and that he's willing to adjust, even if it's a year too late. his biggest flaw as a coach is he can be stubbornly loyal to his staff, a trait he shares with Tomlin, Belichick, and Reid (although since 2019 this hasn't been an issue obviously). interestingly, those four make up the top tier of coaches

Weirdly no one wants to work with you if you build a reputation for throwing underlings under the bust the second things get rough. Moving on from Roman was a much tougher call than football Twitter would make it appear. When Lamar Jackson was starting Roman's offense was top ten every year in points and success rate. The team led their division and was #1 in the AFC in both 21 and 22 before Jackson went out. It would have been very easy to say if we keep Lamar healthy, our offense is fine. Especially with an improved WR corp. Harbaugh made the right call in moving on and brought in a great replacement in Monken, but improvement was in no way guaranteed.

I think Roman would be an excellent OC hire somewhere like Chicago.

I don’t know if he’d be a good head coach since that’s kind of a weird job, but some college should pay him a fortune to run their offense at least. Those kids aren’t keeping up with his lunatic run game

Also, it's not like Roman was a bystander who benefited from the maturation of a guaranteed stud QB. He had a massive role in developing Jackson and building an offense that played to his strengths where most other OCs would have thrown him to the wolves and shrugged their shoulders as he struggled.

when you have one of the two best QBs in the league, your offense will always look good. see: Nathaniel Hackett, Josh McDaniel

"Unanimous MVP" buys you a lot of leash. One positive is that Lamar basically had to learn how to make a passing game work that wasn't that good at getting guys open. Monken's system must feel like cheating.

I don't think anyone outside of Baltimore would have agreed that Lamar was a top 7 QB, let alone top 2, before this season

e: obviously they were dead wrong, but that's a little revisionist on the football zeitgeist

It's funny because for all the gushing now if we for whatever reason don't make the Superbowl it will be back to "Lamar can't win in the playoffs he's not worth it" etc etc. Just goes back and forth.

I think the only real concern about signing him to the big deal was injuries. Even though the years following 2019 weren't as good the potential was clearly there. But I figured we'd trade him to someone but no one was even interested.

I really hope we at least get to the AFC Championship cause there's never been one in Baltimore.
