    Juan Castillo running game coordinator

    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.

    Anyone have insights to Castillo?

    It's just a title, he's a RB coach but maybe a little more pull.

    Yup, too bad he doesn't run it every down, or plays every single game.

    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.

    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.

    Re: Juan Castillo running game coordinator

    The moral?

    We must run from the rum runners...

    ...in the running game...

    Or some such.

    We're both going to have to learn to live with it Mace...I guess. My arch-nemesis LardFat sits on his on his hands about it with hands tied.

    Serves you right though, if you don't like the mini feldspar. Now we're even, because you got rid of the evil jester with beer in hand. That was perfect for you, and I didn't like that change. You somewhat redeemed yourself with the Trump avatar holding up a picture of the evil jester with beer, but you made yet another mistake by changing THAT again.

    So now we might be even in the avatar wars, although LardFat has never had a remarkable one...kinda gay all along, really.

    But you need the full-bodied Michael Myers for full effect on this particular picture. Maybe I'll find a nice close-up on the Myers face someday if it'll make you a happier man, which is what I strive to accomplish

    Well, I'm going to look into this later in the week with some image programs, and will get back to you. Just don't you snark about my avatar Mister, it's a work in progress I keep dorking around with because I know how to make bigger avatars than some people.

    Ha,ha.

    I'm a little out of practice...coulda made a BIGGER gay avatar if I had remembered my ABCs. I use a free program called photoscape, which I like to edit photos with. It's nice for most things.

    How do you like my new avatar? I don't know who is scarier, the guy in my avatar or the guy in yours...

    Dunno, I'm almost inclined to have your same avatar but bigger to make sport of you.

    I'm game, but there is no way to make the old one bigger under the current rules. This one is maxed out. 150x150 pixels or 9.8 KBs (whichever is smaller)...those are the parameters. The old one was rectangular, and so was therefore shrunken upon reinstatement. 150 was its height. Can't get around it.

    What's wrong with the new one? Not big enough? Wait for the unfounded Swiper jab about that...

    I'm rather fond of it this one, and the size is maxed. Naughtius Maximus.
