All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Im still baffled by this decision. Castillo held the same title when the ravens won the ravens won the sb in 2013 but their running game was horrible. They won the sb by running 3t times with 2.7 ypa.
Yup, too bad he doesn't run it every down, or plays every single game.

It's just a title, he's a RB coach but maybe a little more pull.
You probably mixed it up, he's an OL coach with a little more pull for the running game. He's primarily OL coach.
Castillo is a solid OL coach, I think his history backs him up. As far as run game coordinator, well, Baltimore was not super intent on their run game and we have more talent (they had West, Forsett and Rice tailing off, and well, Flacco).
Just with Baltimore he worked with Osemele & Yanda on the line, they turned out pretty well. I'm often upset, but I think Castillo is a solid hire.

Anyone have insights to Castillo?
Wasnt that the year Dilfer was QB? Pretty hard to run, when you're 100% one dimensional.
Yeah, 2012 was Flacco throwing 3 td's against the Jim Harbaugh/Kaepernick/Roman offense with Gore still doing his thing. I still don't think the Ravens were going to trade runs there, all things considered, but it's one of those games where you can see a more efficient passing game beating a better running game.
49'ers were 4th rushing, 23rd passing that year. Ravens were 11th rush, 15th pass. Not sure you can blame the different focus on Castillo though. He's not Roman, but I still think of him more as a decent OL coach than anything else.
Freddie had 8 years where he was expected to suit up every Sunday...same with MCoy. Yet Freddie actually has missed more games due to injury than McCoy, who has WAY many more carries than Freddie and was pretty the featured back all the time.
I swear the Freddie love makes people delusional sometimes. Freddie ran it every down and played every single game?
LMAO. A few years back, we got a rare snowstorm on a Sat night (it was probably like 6 inches, but that's earth-shattering with the pathetic way they deal with snow around here). My SIL and my friend (who are now married) had a package of hurricane mix from that famous place in New Orleans, and they made a pitcher with Castillo rum, stayed in and drank it. They both had legendary hangovers the next day.
