Marty Mornhinweg’s Wacky Weapons: Animal Bombs

The Maestro - March 7, 2019January 22, 2019

People talk about coaches' ability to control the locker room, and how it's an important one. Some people say I never did that so well. I call bullshit on them. You know what's hard to control? Animals. Football players are comparatively a walk in the park to work with, especially

Marty Mornhinweg’s Wacky Weapons: Greek Fire

The Maestro - February 28, 2019January 18, 2019

I was scrolling through the TV channels the other day, waiting for the phone to ring about my next head coaching gig, and I stumbled across some footage from the '98 Vikings on ESPN Classic. God, was that a team. They were fantastic. Cris Carter and Randy Moss catching passes

Marty Mornhinweg’s Wacky Weapons: The Great Panjandrum

The Maestro - February 21, 2019January 17, 2019

Say what you will these days about unpredictability, but it's hard to keep opponents on their toes more and more. It takes real innovation to game plan things that haven't ever been thought of. That's why I have such respect for coaches of days gone by - the single wing,

The Maestro - February 14, 2019January 16, 2019

When it comes to offensive playcalling, I don't like risk! That's why when it's windy outside, it's always better to elect to kick. In other news, I'm still waiting to get calls about open head coaching positions, but I'm certain that things are gonna happen soon for me! A positive

The Maestro - February 7, 2019February 7, 2019

I've been trying to figure out how to balance history and future when it comes to revamping my offensive playbook; after a ton of hours in the film room, I think the Wing-T is gonna be back in vogue soon! I really do. Think about how mobile quarterbacks are being

You notice how the Super Bowl is basically never held in cold weather these days? Either they put it in a dome, or else it ends up somewhere in the South where they don't have to worry about cold weather. That's kind of a shame, if you ask me. I

Marty Mornhinweg’s Wacky Weapons: The Cochran Revolver

The Maestro - January 24, 2019January 24, 2019

Morning, all. Been sitting here thinking about risk and reward a lot; the pundits are all saying that we need to figure out how to incorporate big plays better into offences across the league. I guess there's something to that, but I'm still not sure if I'm entirely sold on

Marty Mornhinweg’s Wacky Weapons: The Hiller Flying Platform

The Maestro - January 17, 2019January 16, 2019

Morning, everyone! Apparently I've been fired by the Ravens. It came as a bit of a shock to me, not gonna lie; I was told it was because we wanted to get Lamar to conform to the offensive system a little bit further. As a staff, we were concerned about

The Maestro - January 10, 2019January 8, 2019

Everyone's talking about the quarterback revolution these days; it's certainly a different landscape than what I was used to with Charlie Batch and Joey Harrington back in the day with the Lions. Sure, they talk about Russell Wilson and Marcus Mariota and Baker Mayfield and guys like that, and I

Hi everyone! I'm Marty Mornhinweg, offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. A lot of you probably know me best for my time with the Detroit Lions as head coach, but I'm here today to tell you that there's so much more to me than just that particular stretch of my life
