Ravens coach John Harbaugh had nothing good to say in regards to the double-reverse move by large receiver James Proche II that led to an interception within the Ravens’ 10-9 victory over the Denver Broncos.
“Everything broke down,” Harbaugh mentioned at his common Monday information convention. “It was just a bad play. It’s one we probably want back. It wasn’t a good time for it. It seemed like a good idea, I guess, at the time, in some ways. There’s reasons for that. But in hindsight, it was just not a good call in the sense that it was a bad play. We were trying too hard maybe to make something happen with a trick play. At that time of the game, it was probably time just to grind.”
The play got here early within the fourth quarter, with the Ravens trailing 9-3 and eventually threatening to attain from the Denver 29-yard line.
Though Harbaugh didn’t point out the workforce’s play caller, Greg Roman, by title, his criticism got here at a time when Roman is beneath hearth for the Ravens’ current offensive struggles and likewise a candidate to change into Stanford’s subsequent coach.
Harbaugh mentioned he couldn’t put a lot of the blame on Proche, a large receiver who had by no means tried a move within the NFL.
“You’d like for him just to run right there,” Harbaugh mentioned. “You ask James, I’m sure he said that last night. You don’t throw into four guys. But he’s a wide receiver, so I’m not going to hold him too accountable for it. We’ll take that as a coaching … we could do better with the play calling. We tried to do something, and it was a bad idea in the sense that it really had no chance.”
