OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Convinced that the Baltimore Ravens sputtering offense wasnt going to improve with Marc Trestman calling the shots, coach John Harbaugh fired his offensive coordinator Monday and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Marty Mornhinweg.The move came less than 24 hours after the Ravens scored only one touchdown in a 16-10 loss to Washington.I just think we need a different chemistry in there right now to get to where we need to go, Harbaugh said.I think we all know what it needs to look like. Its what plays get called in certain situations, but its also the physicality of our offense, its the attack-mentality of our offense, its how we go about our business. Those are things that just werent getting there.And so, it was time for a change.We need to ramp things up, Harbaugh said.The Ravens (3-2) performed miserably on offense against the Redskins, who entered with the 29th-ranked defense in the NFL.After scoring a touchdown on its opening drive, Baltimore added a field goal in the second quarter and was blanked in the second half.During one stretch, the Ravens had seven straight possessions that lasted four plays or fewer. Trestman inexplicably abandoned the running game in the second half, even though Baltimore was averaging 5.7 yards per carry over the opening 30 minutes.When you go back and look at it, I feel like we were running the ball well enough to run the ball a lot more than we did, Harbaugh said.Trestman was in his second season as Baltimores offensive coordinator. Last season, the Ravens had the second-most total net yards in team history but went 5-11.This is the second time during Harbaughs nine-year run in Baltimore that he fired his offensive coordinator in the middle of the season.In 2012, he dismissed Cam Cameron after a loss to the Redskins and the Ravens ended up winning the Super Bowl.Theres no guarantee that will happen again. But, as in that situation, Harbaugh knew it was time to make a change.Its more about direction. Its a big-picture type of a feel thing, Harbaugh said.Are we heading in the right direction? Do I see us getting there doing the things were doing now? I think as a coach, youve got to assess that and make that call.By late Sunday night, Harbaugh was convinced that the Ravens will have a better chance to win with Mornhinweg running the offense.Mornhinweg, 54, joined the Ravens as quarterbacks coach in 2015. Prior to that, he spent the 2013-14 seasons as offensive coordinator of the New York Jets. He was head coach of the Detroit Lions in 2001-02 before working as offensive coordinator of the Eagles from 2004-12.Im very excited for the opportunity to see where we can go with Marty, Harbaugh said. I know there will be some things that hell tweak, but the basic system is not going to change.Trying to find a balance between the run and pass would be a good start. Joe Flacco has thrown more passes than anyone in the NFL, but ranks near the bottom with 5.9 yards per attempt. The Ravens threw 47 passes on Sunday compared to only 19 runs -- and that was in a tight game.Were not putting enough points on the board, and were not putting enough yards on the board for the amount of times that were throwing the ball, Harbaugh said.Mornhinweg already has a close relationship with Flacco, who couldnt mask his frustration after going 30 for 46 getting sacked three times against the Redskins.Our defense is putting up awesome plays week after week and were just running off the field, Flacco said. It doesnt feel good as a quarterback, the leader of this offense, to do that.The Ravens will seek to snap a two-game skid and test out their new offense against the New York Giants on the road Sunday.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vans Sk8 Hi Sale Mens .

Coach John Aloisi reckons Brisbanes comfort in the heat could be Newcastles undoing as the Roar attempt to turn around their poor A-League record on the road.The mercury is expected to climb to 28 degrees at McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle on Sunday, a spring temperature the Jets will not have acclimatised to quite as well as their interstate opponents.Were happy about that, Aloisi said.It hasnt been that hot there but its been warm here so were prepared for that weather.Its an advantage for us, because were a fit team.You saw last week, even with 10 men, how we ran out that game and scored in virtually the last kick.A 10-man Roar pulled off an at-the-death 1-1 opening-round draw with Melbourne Victory thanks to defender Luke DeVeres equaliser.They did so at their Suncorp Stadium fortress, where they achieved a league-best home record of 35 points from 14 matches last season.The challenge now is emulating that on the road, after a poor 13 points from as many away games that may have cost them the 2015-16 Premiers Plate.We analysed all of last season and we know we have to pick up more points away from home, Aloisi said.Aloisi knows Mark Jones unfancied Jets will be no pushovers after ttheir own plucky 1-1 stalemate with defending champions Adelaide last weekend.ddddddddddddHowever their chances of backing up have not been helped by long-term injuries to key defender Daniel Mullen (knee) and first-choice goalkeeper Ben Kennedy (Achilles).Jason Hoffman (calf) and Finnish striker Aleksandr Kokko (Achilles) are also sidelined.At the very least, Danish star Morten Nordstrand returns to bolster Newcastles already-revived attack featuring Andrew Hoole, Andrew Nabbout and English playmaker Wayne Brown.Roars attacking prowess continues to flourish via Jamie Maclarens combination with marquee man Brett Holman.But Aloisi declined to say whether Tommy Oar would start on the wing following his sharp display off the bench against Victory.He has confirmed Jacob Pepper will fill the midfield shoes of suspended captain Matt McKay.STATS THAT MATTER:* Newcastle are winless in six attempts against Brisbane* The Jets have failed to keep a clean sheet in 16 of their last 17 games* Jamie Maclaren scored in two of his three appearances against Newcastle last season ' ' '
