A lot of swing and screen passes. Uses the tight ends a lot. He's been trying to find a deep threat for four years, so he finally found a guy who just runs under bombs. That was irritating for a long time.

But considering what the Ravens looked like before he got there, it was a sea change. Really great to see a functional offense, which we hadn't had for a decade. Really, since Ted retired.

Blame most of the Ravens losses the past 2 seasons on going away from the run in the 2nd half. For some reason they forget Ray Rice is in the backfield. Anyway, knowing Miles is a run first coach I don't expect this to happen.

Didn't the Ravens have a pretty good TE for a while? Desean Smith wouldn't have to worry about touches.

Being a Ravens fan, I can help you out. He runs the "air coryell system". He wants to stretch the field vertically with his Wrs and TEs . However he can run the ball, when he wants to. His problem in Baltimore was his reluctance to open up and give Flacco more flexibility. He's really good at developing young Qbs but struggles when they're ready to take the "elite" or so step. He doesn't do many bunch sets either. He coached Brees, Rivers, and Flacco so he's been around some good qbs. In summary, he likes his Wrs to go deep and utilizes a FB in the running game.
