"[ In the wake of another divisional playoff loss, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he is going to become more involved with the offense and make more clear to the staff his idea of what that offense should be.
After last week's series of news conferences, Harbaugh said he has been reluctant to interrupt offensive coordinator Cam Cameron's thought process during a game. What he hopes to do, he said, is to give the staff more direction on what he expects and wants out of the offense.
"I try not to knock Cam off his thought process while he's calling plays," Harbaugh said. "So as soon as a play ends, the coordinator's already got a thought process while that play's going on. So if I interject — call this play or that play, or run the ball or pass the ball — he'll do it. But then again, I've got to respect the fact he's trying to build something. He's setting things up and he's building the next play call.
"I don't want to mess with that, especially if I'm not involved with the offensive game plan. Yet, before the series starts or during the course of a game, a lot of times, I'll make him aware of what I'm seeing, what they're doing defensively, what I think he's doing offensively. Especially if it's a situation, is it going to be four downs here? ... I'm thinking about going for it if it's going to be close.
"There are times we call timeouts, we talk about some of those things, some of those crunch situations. Sometimes I'll dictate, [but] not that often. I rarely dictate a specific play, but I might dictate how to approach the play." ]"
