He's good enough to beat us up if almost all our defense is backups.

In 2005 we lost to the Lions when they had Joey Harrington playing.

Before this I had the Lions at about a 60-40 chance of winning now more like 70-30. Only thing keeping us so high is that the offense still has that potential to really become a meat grinder and take over a game.

It's 100% what they should do. They are already winning games with Chubb and Garrett so why pay some shitass $30m to watch them do it if you can take someone who has a chance of being better eventually.

Some Excerpts posted:

Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman reinvented his running game with college ideas years ago when he had Colin Kaepernick with the 49ers, which ultimately led to the unique Ravens’ running attack we see today. With the help of his current staff, it looks like they are infusing more college ideas into their passing game. They’re more creative, they’ve opened up the playbook and they’ve given their receivers a ton of freedom with their route running. At times, their spacing can be poor because of the freedom their receivers have, but it’s hard to argue with the results....

One of the reasons the Ravens are able to throw the ball downfield so much is because they see a lot of off coverage. Teams don’t want to play press-man against the Ravens because they want to keep eyes on Jackson in case he keeps the ball on an option play or takes off on a scramble. As a result, the Ravens’ receivers have free releases and can get downfield without being harassed.

Marquise Brown, who also does his fair share of freelancing, looks like a sharper route runner this year and when he’s isolated, he’s embarrassed defenders.

Conclusion posted:

The chart on the left shows Jackson’s completion percentage from different locations on the field this season and the chart on the right shows from 2018-2020. Jackson still lets a pass get away from him here and there and when it does, it can look ugly, but he’s consistently hitting passes all over the field. Defenses can no longer just give him access throws to the outside.

Can the Ravens be more disciplined with their route running and spacing? Yes. I’m sure it’ll be something that the Ravens staff continues to work on, but it’s hard to ignore the numbers they are producing. Brown is taking the top off defenses and the Ravens are featuring Andrews’ ability to freelance and get open. The Ravens’ passing game isn’t a precise West Coast passing attack and their spacing isn’t always ideal, but they’re playing free and loose. Jackson is aware of what defenses are doing and he’s making adjustments on the fly.
