A lot was made about how Harbaugh and Trestman sat down in the off-season to design a "Ravens" offensive scheme. One that would survive from one coordinator to the next in case of turnover and eliminate issues like Kubiak being here for only a year. It's a move that in concept I think is the right approach.



This is where I am a little lost. If Harbaugh was so involved in this design, how did we wind up with what Trestman was running? Did they design one thing and then Trestman went back to what he likes? I find that hard to believe, although he was canned. Was it just designing a playbook and Trestman had free reign to choose what plays to run?
