The coaches need to know how to shift the line, assign blockers and provide protection against obvious corner and linebacker blitzes. There was one play where a linebacker was standing at the LOS before the snap and then he just went right through the gap between the RT and RG for a free hit on Burrow. Mixon was on the wrong side of Burrow and, without blocking anyone, squeezed through the center and left guard into a route. If he were on Burrow's right, he would have chipped the free blocker on his way to his route.

Those are the kinds of things I see that make me think we need new coaches.

We need new players too, especially at RG, LG and RT, but the coaches are as big of a problem, if not slightly moreso.

Isn't it the responsibility of the C and QB to shift protection based on what they see at the LOS. It's certainly plausible that the Ravens just confused the shit out of a rookie QB yesterday. If so, he'll watch that film and correct some of that. I have faith in that, he's a film junkie by all accounts.
