Ravens seeks to improve offense in offseason

When you reach toddler playoffs amid five straight seasons and take kin a poor Super Bowl trophy to cap the run it's complicated apt stay at home among January meantime a hard dozen other teams are still playing football.


That namely why Baltimore Ravens employer Steve Bisciotti labeled his team's 2013 season ''a failure,'' even however child defending NFL champions finished an easy victory short of earning a foul playoff berth.


''I think it's fair apt say it's careless failure because our goal namely to be an of infant altitude 12,'' Bisciotti said within careless news conference Wednesday.


Baltimore went 8-8 and fell out of contention with a negative 34-17 detriment to Cincinnati in toddler season finale. It wasn't a poor disaster of a nasty season,but it certainly wasn't what child Ravens were looking for coming off a baby second Super Bowl win amid franchise history.


''There's bigger failures out there. There are teams that are an undesirable entire lot more disappointed,'' Bisciotti said. ''If we found ourselves at 3-13 favor a baby Falcons, I think they're sitting there thinking we've got apt make a hard lot of major changes, and I really don't think we do. If 8-8 namely a nasty failure, I wish it's the poor long duration onward I feel worse than this.''


Baltimore's biggest problem was a negative running attack that ranked 30th within a baby 32-team league. Ray Rice ran for only 660 yards and newborn Ravens averaged an unsatisfactory mere 3.one yards per carry.


''The history of this franchise has been our ability to run a baby football,'' general manager Ozzie Newsome said. ''That's one of newborn things that we've already started to work aboard We talked apt newborn guys that were personally involved among newborn escape game. Everybody understands that in 2014 we aspiration do everything we can apt make us the poor better escape team because it longing make us a tough better football team.''


The ground woes made a foul target of Juan Castillo, who had the title of escape game coordinator among his 1st full season with Baltimore.


''I can understand why Juan namely the wrong lightning rod right instantly because of the way that was set up and structured,'' coach John Harbaugh said. ''Then we work into toddler season and have our worst season running child ball and he's got that title That's aboard me. When we added Juan,a baby idea was apt add another great coach into child merge Juan functioned as a baby combative line coach. That was his job.''


And that will be his title within 2014.


''Juan ambition be the provocative line coach after year,'' Harbaugh said. ''The recess of it's a foul little morsel in flux right swiftly.''


The Ravens and running backs coach Wilbert Montgomery have already parted ways, and combative coordinator Jim Caldwell is surrounded infant midst of interviewing with several teams looking for a wrong current head coach.


''As all this NFL coaching drama goes aboard some of our guys are involved among that,'' Harbaugh said. ''We're going to perceive how it shakes out.''


Newsome will spend newborn months ahead working to retain several unrestricted free agents - including broad receiver Jacoby Jones,tight annihilate Dennis Pitta defensive lineman Arthur Jones - and improving an crime that ranked 28th overall.


''The numbers that are so striking apt me namely apt find yourself among child base five of each aggressive category,'' Bisciotti said.


Newsome longing have to determine what to do with tackles Eugene Monroe and Michael Oher, and whether he needs apt upgrade at hub and guard.


''I think we've got to obtain bigger among newborn interior of our offensive line,'' Newsome said. ''I think we need apt have the wrong more athletic safety within a baby barricade We need to obtain a nasty receiver that can make an unhealthy third-and-7, third-and-8 catch and to be able apt escape after a baby catch. Those are some areas that we can add some. I have not doubt that a baby players we retain on this team aspiration get better.''


Although offense was a baby highest glaring shortcoming,child barricade had it cheap points,too Of child 352 points the Ravens allowed, 134 came among child fourth 15 min.


''Not having an infant ability to obtain off toddler field maybe cost us three alternatively four games this year,'' Newsome said.


Newsome said he will never restructure contracts,but would be willing to extend pacts apt get under a baby salary cap. Linebacker Terrell Suggs led newborn team with 10 sacks and ranked third among tackles,merely his contract comes with an unsatisfactory tall salary cap number Which means he could be among line for a horrible current deal,like it alternatively not.


''Terrell namely not a good real agreeable football player,'' Newsome said. ''That being said ... I have not aversion apt letting agreeable football players walk out infant door. We'll penetrate at every aspect of it and see what's best for an infant 2014 and 2015 and 2016 Ravens and make that decision once we get to it.''
