Cameron Has Some Big Shoes to Fill: He Replaces Billick as Ravens Play Caller

This morning, MDS on PFT wrote that former Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron would be the Ravens next offensive coordinator, and the Washington Post's Mark Maske reports that the team is close to finalizing the deal.

Either way, this is great news for Baltimore. Yes, Miami was 1-15 last year (coincidentally, that one win came courtesy of the Ravens), but I think we can all agree that Cameron was destined to fail the minute he took the job. Sure, that raises some other questions, but that's all water under the bridge at this point.

The Ravens, under evil genius Brian Billick, had one of the NFL's worst offenses for nine consecutive seasons. If not for Billick's offensive mastery imagine how bad things might have been (rolls eyes). Now, though, Baltimore gets a legit offensive coordinator who helped turn things around in San Diego before heading to Miami last year.

With Dolphins Supreme Ruler Bill Parcells indicating that he wants to bring Trent Green back for another season, this probably means Cleo Lemon isn't in Miami's plans. Cameron's a big Lemon fan, having coached him in San Diego and Miami, and he could very well end up in Baltimore.

Currently, Kyle Boller and Troy Smith are the only two quarterbacks on the roster, and even if the team decides to draft one this April, there will still be an immediate need at the position for 2008. And Lemon could be a relatively cheap, short-term solution.
