@@garialmarsh6721 Bro that’s one play: there were plenty of plays where that didn’t happen and he still ran without reading the play. Keep making excuses for Lamar all you want, but it doesn’t make it not true.
@@dashien2605 Patrick is extremely talented but if also extremely lucky to have learned from Smith and Reid as well as to have a wonderful relationship with Nagz, EB and him disagreed at times but pushed each other to be better always Lamar hasn’t had a lot to learn from in the passing game really and has struggled a little bit from it (even in college Pat had the better QB minds) Lamar has a both the cannon and the whip to make any throw on the field. he’s made great throws against us in just the last two matchups 4 or 5 times, but he’s made his biggest mistakes. at the end of the day if Lamar, Allen, Burrow, Stroud, or even Herbert were drafted into KC with Hill and Kelce plus coaching and continued x draft support they’d be borderline unstoppable too (not Mahomes level)
@@NathanRhwmf he’s his own enemy honestly. I really thought we’d get it done but in ravens fashion, we choked. Its also bad when you have to consistently change at RG
@@dashien2605 I don't think Lamar is the issue. JT posed the question and my answer is Lamar's usage. We're (Ravens) basically exhausting our own QB by expecting him to run so much. That's why his mechanics slip as the game goes on. He's exhausted. To compound the issue, our passing scheme isn't great. It's just better than Roman's which was the worse in the league. The line is a mess right now and our WRs are iffy outside of Zay.
Don’t ever say that people think you’re being a jerk talking about what you see from tape. I believe you are one of the most respected QB analysts on YT. As a Ravens fan (and one who loves Lamar but realizes he still has some growing to do), pointing out how his mechanics slip at the end of the game is a needed statement we should hear (with film to support). Thanks for your consistency 🤝🏾🙌🏾
We need to stop expecting Lamar to run so much. It's clear he was exhausted. We can't keep expecting him to exhaust himself running and still maintain mechanics.
the commentators were saying lamar was running the offense, so he definitely should have chmage the protections. full sliding away from chris jones and have him 1 on 1 with a HB is a bold strat.
@@LuckyAJC I thought that’s what a coaching staff was for? Like JT said the workload was too much for the mvp. Lamar apparently has to do everything himself.
@juliangallo9949 Most of the top tier QB calls their protections based on what they see pre snap. unless it was planned too leave CJ one on one with a HB that's 1000% on lamar.
Right back in the swing of things with an hour long banger by the hardest working man in all things QB. 🏈 Looking forward to this season's evaluations, maybe Jordan Love's missteps vs Philly? Thx again JT!!!
He doesn't say he tweaners it to Zay. He was expecting Bateman to sit in the zone. He didn't see Flowers 'till after he released the ball. Largely b/c he was trying to avoid Chris Jones who he saw was being defended by Justice Hill.
Right. Bateman runs his route right into the teeth of the coverage, but WRs are taught that when they can see that coming, break it off, find the open space and sit. Bateman didn't do that. Lamar was expecting him to.
I think he has a huge year. Likely stepping up as a reliable playmaker is huge. Now you have Derrick Henry with a 2 tight end offense and a playmaker in Flowers on the outside. I think he has a 4000 pass, 1000 rush season. He narrowly missed 4000 last year in his first season under Monken. They're getting a lot more comfortable with one another now and the Ravens are giving him a lot more freedom making audibles and changing things at the line. It might take until the half way point of the season, but he is going to start really tearing it up through the air in my opinion. Time will tell. They will likely be seeing KC again in the playoffs. Gonna be a great year.
He sucks he cannot throw the ball he will never succeed he’s a running back ! Did you not watch the film? Lmfao this isn’t something new he’s been sucking at passing the ball it’s why he has no playoff success be real CJ is better than Lamar
Did you not watch the film? Of a single game against a top tier defense? Stop spewing the same lousy narrative when he has had more success than any active QB not named mahomes, rodgers, or stafford
I'll say this, once they get to a point where they're not asking him to run so much, his passing will take off. But it was clear to me that the Chiefs D Line wasn't the only group exhausted. Lamar was exhausted and his mechanics started slipping.
Hey bro! I'm a huge LJ and Ravens fan! First time coming across your channel! I appreciate and really enjoyed this video! Analysis is spot on! We defiantly have some things to work on all around, but I think we have a solid foundation to build on! Looking forward to seeing this squad grow this season! You should analyze LJ every week!! (Me dreaming of course!) Thanks man!
I like your video analysis of Lamar Jackson is first class in without biased. I wish that all the running he did would have been more for the AFC Championship game than the first game of the season that would have been nice but still a great performance nevertheless.
The problem is the defense he will face and has faced in a AFC Championship game is leagues better than last night. They will obviously force him to beat them by throwing
@@JC-zj2is Ravens fan here. Our issue is that we have a Head Coach and organization that think they can run their way to a title. But we have a Head Coach who panics when he falls behind and we don't build a passing game to throw us back into games. KC basically showed us stacked looks pre-snap, to get us out of run calls, while flooding the middle and forcing our WRs to beat them on the outside. That was in the AFC Title Game. Their plan B was clearly to just stack the box and do the same thing. They just didn't need to. Thursday, they just skipped Plan A and went to Plan B. Until the Ravens take the outside passing game more seriously, they'll hit a wall.. You can't keep expecting Lamar to do that much running and still expect consistent mechanics and accuracy. Let him focus on being a QB, in an offense that can work with him just being a QB, and you'll get better passing.
@segagenesis7708 he still hasn't shown he can consistently throw outside the hashes in year 7 unfortunately. No back shoulder throws, no fades, not throwing guys open.
@@anthonyanderson9303 well with a WR group that was 14th in dropped passes, despite the team being 31st in attempts, just last year when it was said he had his best WR group ever, you’re not going to see a lot of that, because they have a hard enough time just doing their basic jobs and Lamar is still asked to do a ton of running, because the Ravens are an organization that has LONG prioritized the running game over the passing game. Nobody’s gonna maintain consistent mechanics running 10 times and taking 10 hits. Yet and still, from an accuracy standpoint, he was still sixth amongst QBs with 10+ starts last year.
@@segagenesis7708 I'm not saying the organization isn't partially to blame. They've relied on his athleticism so much and not attempted to develop him further as a passer. I almost felt like their reluctance to pay him as long as they did was a sign that they were considering moving off him and just bringing in another running type QB for cheap. There was so much pressure from the fandom however I think they had no choice but to pay him, but I don't believe they really wanted to. Those accuracy numbers can be a misleading tho. When you put on the tape and see the throws he misses and why he misses (his mechanics as has been discussed is severely lacking at times). even this past game yea he was 63% but how many of those completions were screens to Zay or out to the flat to the running back? His downfield passing is still an issue and while it's not 100% on him, elite defenses have the book on him now. He's talented to beat average and bad teams, hence his record, but against top defenses in big moments we've seen the results.
People need to understand that it’s not easy going against Spags defense. When you see QBs struggling against them this year, you’ll see just how good Lamar’s performance was.
@@JBullock54nah for nfl QBs some of them are definitely Swiss cheese compared to the elite defenses because it’s even harder to defend nfl offenses well
@@tako4mvp719Facts. Lamar only struggles with 3 defenses. Chiefs, Bills, and Steelers. He showed me something Thursday night. Spags had their offense clamped but he had no answer to neutralize Lamar like he has in the past. I have the Ravens going back to KC for the AFC title game.
@@JBullock54there’s a different level of difficulty going against Spags defense. They have a complex scheme, the cover very good and they don’t miss tackles.
Great analysis, enjoy a lot of your videos. I'm surprised you didn't highlight either of the screen, quick passes he flubbed that were open designed throws that just became incompletions. The previous Purdy video you highlighted the great work and difficulty of the quick on time screen/bubbles but didn't highlight how Lamar failed on those couple throws that put them behind the count each time.
15:45 The reason Agholor misses this block is most likely because Bateman was called for a pass interference earlier in the drive on a similar block on a wr screen. He definitely should have blocked him, but that's probably why he avoided it.
Love these breakdowns... as far as the flowers reset and throw, I personally feel like there was potential for a rear strip from the D-Lineman if lamar stopped. Pretty tight as far as that's concerned.
What's weird is that he's taken it in shotgun most of his career, but when he takes it from under center, he counts his drop back steps way better and is in rhythm a lot better.
@@Finnissee0122 Because the Ravens are too busy expecting Lamar to be their running game, to even pay that sort of attention to detail to his passing and the passing game as a whole.
The pass pro on the Flowers miss cracks me up. He moves Andrews out and has Hill trying to block Jones. The size difference is hilarious. In a way, the decision to move Andrews out is almost worse than the bad throw.
It’s funny because asking jones to 2 gap a rb and create enough pressure to offset 2 double teams is actually better then having a lineman lose to him and only having 1 double team
@@tsjohnson5 who tf else would be on jones if everyone slides one way. U think the qb was surprised about which way all his lineman slid or that it’s his job to adjust obvious protection issues?
54:00 Lamar already addressed it. He wasn't trying to throw to Flowers. He was trying to throw to Bateman when he saw Bateman crossing the middle. Seems like Bateman just didn't want to risk losing sight of Lamar, committing his body to turning in one direction. Lamar was already throwing and seemed as if he was anticipating Bateman cutting to the open area, not just sitting down behind the linebacker in coverage.
@@ybkid6513 nobody said he didn’t miss throws tho. The original comment was to describe what happened on the flowers-bateman play not the likely play earlier. Like us ngas alr know this
@@buffythebody1 which was also on Lamar champ. Lamar giving reasons/excuses on why he missed someone isn’t a good reason for missing someone(2 times in a row). What he shoulda said is “that’s on me”. But if we all agree that he misses throws/makes too many mistakes in clutch time then👍🏾
A hour long for Lamar? 🔥 Man this was a great breakdown JT. I love watching these.The OLine has to get better. They’re were big plays Lamar missed because he either didn’t see it or had to leave the pocket because of bad pass protection. I don’t think he trust that line yet imo but hopefully it gets better. #RavensFlock
Not only do I think you're right about him not trusting the line, but I also think he was so exhausted from all of that running that his mechanics were slipping.
I love your videos cause it’s unbiased and just a great down. It’s nice to especially with all the negativity it seems like mainstream media is having for LJ. He missed some throws/reads and was quick to run, but I thought all in all he played a great game. Also he along with the rest of the ones didn’t play preseason so this was their first game with new players everywhere. They’ll get better working together as the season goes on.
@@aderounmuadedeji183 lol did you not read my comment? I literally gave even my own critiques of his game. Nobody is playing the victim. He made some mistakes and missed throws. He needs to do better in those areas but all in all played a good game. Dude was responsible for almost 400 yds of total offense and was the only reason they were in the game in the first place. They were literally a toe away from potentially winning/tying the game and people are saying he was terrible and he can’t throw. Some sports analysts going as far as saying it’s over for the ravens this year. Seems a bit unfair to me. Had they scored on the last drive and tied or gone for two and won. The entire sports talk world wouldn’t be completely different. It’s the first game of the year it’s usually sloppy for most teams. Mahomes didn’t have the greatest game, but they won so no one is talking about him. So chill out bro
@@aderounmuadedeji183Criticism is not saying "Lamar can't throw", that's negativity. Whenever Lamar has a bad game the haters come out of the woodwork. Even when he objectively has a good game like this one, people still say those things. It's annoying as fuck. And no, he's not above legitimate criticism, as a fan I recognize he can and has to be better.
As a Ravens fan I wouldn’t want it any other way. Getting over the hump with Tennessee in 2,000 giving over that same hump over the Patriots in 2012 and now with the chiefs. These guys will get it done
Great breakdown of film 💯💯!! 1st game of the season wasnt terrible, but Ravens have a lot to clean up on that Oline tho, Chris Jones was going Krazy!!! Gotta get Henry goin early, so we can get the playaction/ rpo's goin and everything else will open up. We do need a vet WR tho, so they can start coaching these young guys on how to sit down in zone cov. D wasnt bad, just ran too much zone imo. Sometimes you gotta line up and press them WRs to disrupt timing. (they did it to us the whole game) D def gave the O a chance to stay in the game. Im proud of my boys tho. 😈😈😈 #flocknation
Great Show! Wish I could tell our new oline coach to stop using Hill in pass pro late; only Henry or Pat Ricard should have been in passpro in last minute of this game even they had to spike the ball to get either in. Mitchell will be back in November, the same rule applies for January playoffs against KC.
Man JT you've done it again. I was wondering why the hell the Ravens weren't more explosive. There were a ton on plays with bad execution by the team, and Lamar just trying to make things happen. Geesch the team was very unpolished in this game, that line should get more cohesion as the season progresses.
Great breakdown. I honestly think the pressure just got to him this game. They again couldn't get the run going with rbs and were getting wrecked early. By the time he wore them down enough to and had time to throw he was in ready to throw mode. The blessing and curse of being a great running qb. I've said for a couple yrs now they need to have disallow him running in the offseason and have to keep his footwork and make the throw. Also they didn't want to make a big deal about Andrews being hurt after his car wreck; but he is clearly not healthy and I think that's why he didn't throw that one ball like he normally would the past 6 yrs. It's shitty bc there's no way we're in the game w/o Lamar but in big games it seems like he just doesn't make the throws we need to win like we see against most teams. I'm glad he's our qb. Good and bad I'm riding with our 2X MVP QB.
I agreed too, but the bigger thing for me was 'why' he had that issue with his mechanics. The man was exhausted. It was clear as day. You don't see Mahomes, Burrow, Stafford, out there running 15 times. It's way too hard for a QB to maintain great mechanics throughout a game as it is. But to then try and pull it off after doing all of that running is impossible.
Hi, I think the multiple illegal formations calls were outrageous. The commentators said that the league was sending a signal to every team that this was a critical concern. Well, if so do it by memo and not on a nationally hyped replay of the last Super Bowl. If ever you could dampen the enthusiasm, drama and excitement of two great teams going head to head, it was by this officiating performance. Lamar’s,I believe, 50 yard run, against perhaps the best defense in the league a thing of technical beauty was called back on a holding penalty which on the replay was dubious at best and in my opinion a fraudulent call. Just for business purposes this was a miserable call. It would be a highlight all year hyping the game. How, to ruin a great game, letting the officiating become more influential than the players. This really sucks.
@segagenesis7708 as a former athletic qb/ football player people really have no idea how hard it is to run 10+ times..call plays then maintain proper mechanics. It is very taxing..but hey everyone thinks what lamar does is not special or unique 🤷🏿♂️
13:47 It was technically a strip sack for Chris Jones, but it was the left tackle that knocked the ball out of Lamar Jackson’s hand. If you watch the broadcast replay they show it up close from the position of the mike linebacker you can see it.
You know it's funny, because last season I feel like Lamar was very, very good about getting out of the pocket and then resetting his feet and looking downfield to make a throw. I don't know if it was the spotty pass protection, the pressure to run the ball when they didn't in the AFC champ game, or if he just felt antsy about having to do it all to beat the chiefs, but Lamar definitely seemed less composed in certain parts of this game. As you pointed out, it seemed like sometimes he was trying to run at the first opportunity instead of progressing through his reads.
Lamar action Jackson probably one of his best games I’ve seen from him ,he left some plays out there nobody perfect but goddamn he does whole reason why Baltimore ain’t get lose by 30. Grateful for QB1. There’s plenty of season left.
If Lamar runs like this for the next say handful of games, he’s not gonna be playing all 17 games. He needs to really learn how to play within the pocket and shuffle instead of taking big strides like most running QB. I like him but I’d hope he be a better QB in the pocket with this many years in the league.
I said there'd be absolutely zero "pitch count" on LJ runs this game. In my view, this game plan is utterly unsustainable. Lamar and BAL simply displayed a "blunt force trama" YOLO game plan. They had zero business being within 17 points of KC, who punted on BAL 40, had a bad Mahomes pick, and settled for 6 points off two turnovers.
Agreed. I'm a Ravens fan, but we just haven't built the sort of passing game that can stand on its own feet. Our WRs are weak (Zay is the best and he's not even Top 20), the passing scheme is average and the protection is bad. But if we at least had significant improvement in two of those three areas, Lamar wouldn't have to run for our offense to do anything and then I think he remains more consistent with his mechanics. But the man was exhausted out there.
I think the main issue is we have three new linemen starting and our protection that game, especially early on, was rough. So Lamar definitely took off and ran more than he normally does. It was also the first time that oline played together in a live game, Ravens didnt play any starters in the preseason games. They did better later on but hopefully they can get on the same page sooner this season so Lamar can consistently make those nice pocket throws we all know he can make. Plus our run game/run blocking needs to get going, that was mediocre at best that game...
correct me if im wrong coach and it may be pointing out the obvious but lamar jackson just has much better instincts as a runner than as a passer. the issues you pointed out in this video although he's improved on many of them they're still the same issues he came into the league with and even with the improvements they still stand out in "gotta have it" moments. when you were talking about him stepping up and resetting in the pocket that just seems to be something that has to be instinctual since everything is moving so fast and you are relying more on instincts and muscle memory than thinking everything you're doing through in the front of your mind. he's been in the league for a minute now and although im a fan and id love nothing more than to see the chiefs lose, i just dont see him being the main reason his team makes it over the hump in the playoffs like mahomes is for the chiefs. i think he can absolutely be a big playoff contributor if he can dial it in but its gonna have to be a stout defense + great run game + lamar playing sound football and not missing big throws or making any big mistakes. and of course he'll be awesome and in the mvp conversation during the regular season. he's the joel embiid of the nfl in a lot of ways.
great video. on that deep likely pass where he missed, what do you think is the best throw there? when i first watched it i thought he should’ve thrown it to the left to kind of flatten likely’s route out, but im not sure
I watched the highlights, and that was a fantastic game. He has never been a pure pocket passer. He uses his legs too much, as you know. They got Derrick Henry, and he should have used that guy more. That would have helped with the rush and given him more time to move up in the pocket. There's no sense mentioning the obvious, I guess. It's almost like Lamar is drifting to the side he is throwing to. Instead of lining up from the center of the pocket, he appears to drift to lineup for the pass. He also might be doing it to give the receiver time to win instead of just keeping his base and throwing from that venter pocket position.
18:28 when he did that last year i often wish he instead did the one and run. Bevause most times hed still have no one open on those other reads and then hed try to run and the lane is already collapsing
To my eye, as the game went on I think he started to get a little frantic. Almost like he wants it so bad that he loses his fundamentals. When you question “why is he drifting left?” I think the obvious answer is that he doesn’t trust the right side of his protection. He’s drifting toward Stanley because he trusts him more.
Love Lamar but it’s tough watching this game. He’s electric but he needs way more consistency in the pocket. 2 time MVP player and we’re still saying he needs to improve in the pocket. If not now I don’t know when he will. They threw Greg Roman under the bus and I don’t see how they’re going to throw Todd monken under the bus. The plays are there, the space is there, the creativity is all there. Just sucks still preaching the same thing for 4 years.
Yep the idea that he is going to somehow become a great pocket passer, in his sixth year is ridiculous. He just isn't accurate. ESPECIALLY under pressure. Dude is maybe 6th at best behind guys like Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Stroud and Purdy. The biggest part of playing qb is accurate passing. I don't care if you are an electric runner. It can only get you so far and it will end your career far earlier than someone who is an elite pocket passer.
@@MOHAMEDMOHAMED-bx3ji we can keep making excuses for Lamar on why he can’t win from the pocket consistently. But like JT says the film doesn’t lie. When Lamar is at his best, he is in my opinion the best QB in the game. But there’s just too many games like this one where he just misses throws and is terribly late on reads. Especially when he reaches the post season, this game reminds me so much of all of his post season games and that’s why his post season record is so poor.
@@Broadkill54 he has an average o line now. Thats not an excuse. If he's second best it shouldn't matter. Its not a bottom 5-8 unit. He is slow to see open receivers making it way harder on his line too. The end with the rb on Chris Jones is pretty comical though.
14:00 kind of a cheap shot by Lamar. The defender obviously expecting him to go out and not trying to get a penalty for hitting the qb and Lamar looks like he's going out. But then he goes for the hit. Weak.
If you put Lamar in an offense where the passing game can work on its own and he doesn't need to do all of that running, you'll get more consistent mechanics and accuracy. There's a reason no other team asks their QB to do that much running. You're basically exhausting your QB, but expecting him to maintain great mechanics.
48:24 Another point is that he should play some preseason games. Based of that drive/ play he doesn’t look comfortable down the stretch esp coming close to the end of the game. Plus playing from behind.
On the penultimate play, I didn’t see 7 being open, and the spacing looked fine to me. Hindsight is 20/20, but Flowers seems like the logical guy to be open there. Doesn’t look like that was the design though, which I think had to do with Lamar not seeing it sooner, but maybe it’s because it takes too long to open up, being a sort of fluke from the scramble, but seems like Flowers got there fast enough to be a real play. Looks like twice in a row (final play too) chiefs weren’t dropping deep enough in coverage in the middle. All in all I thought a high level game for game 1.
Lamar is asked to do everything and is the reason why we were in the game to begin with. He is one man. He can’t do everything by himself. He has to deal with bad coaching that he has to overcome and an inadequate offensive unit around him to make his job harder. Eric Decosta has failed Lamar by not rebuilding the o-line during the offseason, and still not give him a number 1 wr. At the end of the day, if the Ravens continue this path by being too cheap on offense to help Lamar, then Lamar is gonna eventually leave this team and go somewhere where he can reach his full potential.
About the near first Likely miss in the deep middle of the field. I think he threw it like that cause he didn't expect the safety to come over that quick. BUT that being said. If he threw that ball more towards the numbers. I think that ball is caught
Lemar carried the team on his back but he definitely needs to get better as a passer and understanding match ups. Doesn't matter how great your player is if the opponent has equal or better player. Especially putting a running back against Chris Jones. Wtf. That said Lemar looked like Lemar of 2018 2019. Dynamic electric just amazing
He'll get better when he doesn't have to run as much. We don't have a Top 20 WR or a top 10 passing scheme or top 20 pass protection. 2/3 need to be in place. He's running too much. He's exhausted. That's why his mechanics slip later in games.
13:36 to be fair that was roger Rosengartens first nfl snap. Afainst the best d linemen he will likely face lol. Poor guy. Happened exactly as us expect

I think he has a huge year. Likely stepping up as a reliable playmaker is huge. Now you have Derrick Henry with a 2 tight end offense and a playmaker in Flowers on the outside. I think he has a 4000 pass, 1000 rush season. He narrowly missed 4000 last year in his first season under Monken. They're getting a lot more comfortable with one another now and the Ravens are giving him a lot more freedom making audibles and changing things at the line. It might take until the half way point of the season, but he is going to start really tearing it up through the air in my opinion. Time will tell. They will likely be seeing KC again in the playoffs. Gonna be a great year.
He sucks he cannot throw the ball he will never succeed he’s a running back ! Did you not watch the film? Lmfao this isn’t something new he’s been sucking at passing the ball it’s why he has no playoff success be real CJ is better than Lamar
Did you not watch the film? Of a single game against a top tier defense? Stop spewing the same lousy narrative when he has had more success than any active QB not named mahomes, rodgers, or stafford
@@huntermorris7421 Guess what you face in the playoffs? Top tier defenses. Which he continues to show he can't beat.
@@TheMattTrakker Beat the texans and the titans
I'll say this, once they get to a point where they're not asking him to run so much, his passing will take off. But it was clear to me that the Chiefs D Line wasn't the only group exhausted. Lamar was exhausted and his mechanics started slipping.
Hell yeah, these videos are killer for learning and understanding the game better.
Hey bro! I'm a huge LJ and Ravens fan! First time coming across your channel! I appreciate and really enjoyed this video! Analysis is spot on! We defiantly have some things to work on all around, but I think we have a solid foundation to build on! Looking forward to seeing this squad grow this season! You should analyze LJ every week!! (Me dreaming of course!) Thanks man!
I like your video analysis of Lamar Jackson is first class in without biased. I wish that all the running he did would have been more for the AFC Championship game than the first game of the season that would have been nice but still a great performance nevertheless.
The problem is the defense he will face and has faced in a AFC Championship game is leagues better than last night. They will obviously force him to beat them by throwing
@@JC-zj2is Ravens fan here. Our issue is that we have a Head Coach and organization that think they can run their way to a title. But we have a Head Coach who panics when he falls behind and we don't build a passing game to throw us back into games. KC basically showed us stacked looks pre-snap, to get us out of run calls, while flooding the middle and forcing our WRs to beat them on the outside. That was in the AFC Title Game. Their plan B was clearly to just stack the box and do the same thing. They just didn't need to. Thursday, they just skipped Plan A and went to Plan B. Until the Ravens take the outside passing game more seriously, they'll hit a wall.. You can't keep expecting Lamar to do that much running and still expect consistent mechanics and accuracy. Let him focus on being a QB, in an offense that can work with him just being a QB, and you'll get better passing.
@segagenesis7708 he still hasn't shown he can consistently throw outside the hashes in year 7 unfortunately. No back shoulder throws, no fades, not throwing guys open.
@@anthonyanderson9303 well with a WR group that was 14th in dropped passes, despite the team being 31st in attempts, just last year when it was said he had his best WR group ever, you’re not going to see a lot of that, because they have a hard enough time just doing their basic jobs and Lamar is still asked to do a ton of running, because the Ravens are an organization that has LONG prioritized the running game over the passing game. Nobody’s gonna maintain consistent mechanics running 10 times and taking 10 hits. Yet and still, from an accuracy standpoint, he was still sixth amongst QBs with 10+ starts last year.
@@segagenesis7708 I'm not saying the organization isn't partially to blame. They've relied on his athleticism so much and not attempted to develop him further as a passer. I almost felt like their reluctance to pay him as long as they did was a sign that they were considering moving off him and just bringing in another running type QB for cheap. There was so much pressure from the fandom however I think they had no choice but to pay him, but I don't believe they really wanted to.
Those accuracy numbers can be a misleading tho. When you put on the tape and see the throws he misses and why he misses (his mechanics as has been discussed is severely lacking at times). even this past game yea he was 63% but how many of those completions were screens to Zay or out to the flat to the running back? His downfield passing is still an issue and while it's not 100% on him, elite defenses have the book on him now. He's talented to beat average and bad teams, hence his record, but against top defenses in big moments we've seen the results.
People need to understand that it’s not easy going against Spags defense. When you see QBs struggling against them this year, you’ll see just how good Lamar’s performance was.
It’s not easy going against any NFL defense
@@JBullock54nah for nfl QBs some of them are definitely Swiss cheese compared to the elite defenses because it’s even harder to defend nfl offenses well
@@tako4mvp719Facts. Lamar only struggles with 3 defenses. Chiefs, Bills, and Steelers. He showed me something Thursday night. Spags had their offense clamped but he had no answer to neutralize Lamar like he has in the past. I have the Ravens going back to KC for the AFC title game.
@@JBullock54there’s a different level of difficulty going against Spags defense. They have a complex scheme, the cover very good and they don’t miss tackles.
Fr other teams besides Kansas City, Lamar was destroying them
Great video as always. Always appreciate how clearly you explain both the good and the bad without cherry-picking. Thanks! 🙏
Great decisions beautiful timing Everything is made to look so easy
That's heavy sarcasm right😂
Great analysis, enjoy a lot of your videos. I'm surprised you didn't highlight either of the screen, quick passes he flubbed that were open designed throws that just became incompletions. The previous Purdy video you highlighted the great work and difficulty of the quick on time screen/bubbles but didn't highlight how Lamar failed on those couple throws that put them behind the count each time.
Thank you JT. I learn something new literally every time I watch one of your videos.
Fantastic episode JT - would love to have you on our Ravens show at some point in the future!
Thanks, Bobby.
Super informative. I’ve learned a lot from this channel, and I’ll never watch another one to see how a QB did. Great work as always, JT!
JT coming out hot this year with an hour on Lamar. Football is back let's fn go.
15:45 The reason Agholor misses this block is most likely because Bateman was called for a pass interference earlier in the drive on a similar block on a wr screen. He definitely should have blocked him, but that's probably why he avoided it.
Love the dedication to the craft
Love these breakdowns... as far as the flowers reset and throw, I personally feel like there was potential for a rear strip from the D-Lineman if lamar stopped. Pretty tight as far as that's concerned.
Damn, you work fast!
i try
What's weird is that he's taken it in shotgun most of his career, but when he takes it from under center, he counts his drop back steps way better and is in rhythm a lot better.
As a qb a lot of people switch their gun drops
Idk how much you value EPA but from under center it apparently is his best
@@shawnt8850 good to know
Yet the ravens don’t even do it more often. Lamar is a good play action passer.
@@Finnissee0122 Because the Ravens are too busy expecting Lamar to be their running game, to even pay that sort of attention to detail to his passing and the passing game as a whole.
The pass pro on the Flowers miss cracks me up. He moves Andrews out and has Hill trying to block Jones. The size difference is hilarious. In a way, the decision to move Andrews out is almost worse than the bad throw.
It’s funny because asking jones to 2 gap a rb and create enough pressure to offset 2 double teams is actually better then having a lineman lose to him and only having 1 double team
He didn't put Hill on Jones. He basically said "I saw Hill on Jones..." so that wasn't his choice.
@@tsjohnson5 who tf else would be on jones if everyone slides one way. U think the qb was surprised about which way all his lineman slid or that it’s his job to adjust obvious protection issues?
@@koodigocrxzy465facts
But Hill didn’t do horrible. And Jones didn’t get to 8 so.. 🤷🏾♂️ just not a good pass
Nick Wright needs to watch this breakdown. Great job.
I'm so here for this! Thanks JT!
Been waiting for this. Football is officially back.
Excellent, the analysis was comprehensive and fair
54:00 Lamar already addressed it. He wasn't trying to throw to Flowers. He was trying to throw to Bateman when he saw Bateman crossing the middle. Seems like Bateman just didn't want to risk losing sight of Lamar, committing his body to turning in one direction. Lamar was already throwing and seemed as if he was anticipating Bateman cutting to the open area, not just sitting down behind the linebacker in coverage.
Sure champ what abt the play before
@@ybkid6513what about it? He missed a throw that would’ve been a touchdown. I think everyone agrees on that. That was on him
@@buffythebody1 what do u mean and what about it😂 ur mvp qb missing throws like that in clutch time is a problem if your tryna win sbs.
@@ybkid6513 nobody said he didn’t miss throws tho. The original comment was to describe what happened on the flowers-bateman play not the likely play earlier. Like us ngas alr know this
@@buffythebody1 which was also on Lamar champ. Lamar giving reasons/excuses on why he missed someone isn’t a good reason for missing someone(2 times in a row). What he shoulda said is “that’s on me”. But if we all agree that he misses throws/makes too many mistakes in clutch time then👍🏾
A hour long for Lamar? 🔥 Man this was a great breakdown JT. I love watching these.The OLine has to get better. They’re were big plays Lamar missed because he either didn’t see it or had to leave the pocket because of bad pass protection. I don’t think he trust that line yet imo but hopefully it gets better. #RavensFlock
Not only do I think you're right about him not trusting the line, but I also think he was so exhausted from all of that running that his mechanics were slipping.
I love your videos cause it’s unbiased and just a great down. It’s nice to especially with all the negativity it seems like mainstream media is having for LJ. He missed some throws/reads and was quick to run, but I thought all in all he played a great game. Also he along with the rest of the ones didn’t play preseason so this was their first game with new players everywhere. They’ll get better working together as the season goes on.
what negativity? they gave him 49/50 MVP votes last year. y'all gotta stop playing the victim every time he gets criticised for mistakes
@@aderounmuadedeji183 lol did you not read my comment? I literally gave even my own critiques of his game. Nobody is playing the victim. He made some mistakes and missed throws. He needs to do better in those areas but all in all played a good game. Dude was responsible for almost 400 yds of total offense and was the only reason they were in the game in the first place. They were literally a toe away from potentially winning/tying the game and people are saying he was terrible and he can’t throw. Some sports analysts going as far as saying it’s over for the ravens this year. Seems a bit unfair to me. Had they scored on the last drive and tied or gone for two and won. The entire sports talk world wouldn’t be completely different. It’s the first game of the year it’s usually sloppy for most teams. Mahomes didn’t have the greatest game, but they won so no one is talking about him. So chill out bro
@@aderounmuadedeji183Criticism is not saying "Lamar can't throw", that's negativity. Whenever Lamar has a bad game the haters come out of the woodwork. Even when he objectively has a good game like this one, people still say those things. It's annoying as fuck. And no, he's not above legitimate criticism, as a fan I recognize he can and has to be better.
As a Ravens fan I wouldn’t want it any other way. Getting over the hump with Tennessee in 2,000 giving over that same hump over the Patriots in 2012 and now with the chiefs. These guys will get it done
Great breakdown of film 💯💯!! 1st game of the season wasnt terrible, but Ravens have a lot to clean up on that Oline tho, Chris Jones was going Krazy!!! Gotta get Henry goin early, so we can get the playaction/ rpo's goin and everything else will open up. We do need a vet WR tho, so they can start coaching these young guys on how to sit down in zone cov. D wasnt bad, just ran too much zone imo. Sometimes you gotta line up and press them WRs to disrupt timing. (they did it to us the whole game) D def gave the O a chance to stay in the game. Im proud of my boys tho. 😈😈😈 #flocknation
The 2nd half was a step back from last year's tape. We'll see how it goes going forward
Because Lamar did way more running this year. He was exhausted.
Likely’s FIYAH imitation of Lamar’s legendary play (from HS) at 34:00 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
Imagine that!! If you give Lamar a clean-ish pocket, he’s a great thrower.
Banger incoming
1 word, TRAJECTORY. I think someone needs to explain this to Lamar.
Great Show! Wish I could tell our new oline coach to stop using Hill in pass pro late; only Henry or Pat Ricard should have been in passpro in last minute of this game even they had to spike the ball to get either in. Mitchell will be back in November, the same rule applies for January playoffs against KC.
Figured this would be a lengthy breakdown. A lot to study for him this week.
Man JT you've done it again. I was wondering why the hell the Ravens weren't more explosive. There were a ton on plays with bad execution by the team, and Lamar just trying to make things happen. Geesch the team was very unpolished in this game, that line should get more cohesion as the season progresses.
1 hour video of lamar?? Lets goo🔥😍
I been waiting for ya videos we back my boy
It all starts in the blocks If there are matchup problems correct them at least sometime during the game
Well done Sir. Great analysis.
Football is the one sport you can watch your whole life but never really understand it
Great breakdown. I honestly think the pressure just got to him this game. They again couldn't get the run going with rbs and were getting wrecked early. By the time he wore them down enough to and had time to throw he was in ready to throw mode. The blessing and curse of being a great running qb. I've said for a couple yrs now they need to have disallow him running in the offseason and have to keep his footwork and make the throw. Also they didn't want to make a big deal about Andrews being hurt after his car wreck; but he is clearly not healthy and I think that's why he didn't throw that one ball like he normally would the past 6 yrs. It's shitty bc there's no way we're in the game w/o Lamar but in big games it seems like he just doesn't make the throws we need to win like we see against most teams. I'm glad he's our qb. Good and bad I'm riding with our 2X MVP QB.
and here we go!
great content as usual!
Excellent breakdown...Ravens fan here and I agree with your assessment of lamar. It's the little things that matter.
Totally agree with you
I agreed too, but the bigger thing for me was 'why' he had that issue with his mechanics. The man was exhausted. It was clear as day. You don't see Mahomes, Burrow, Stafford, out there running 15 times. It's way too hard for a QB to maintain great mechanics throughout a game as it is. But to then try and pull it off after doing all of that running is impossible.
Hi, I think the multiple illegal formations calls were outrageous. The commentators said that the league was sending a signal to every team that this was a critical concern. Well, if so do it by memo and not on a nationally hyped replay of the last Super Bowl. If ever you could dampen the enthusiasm, drama and excitement of two great teams going head to head, it was by this officiating performance.
Lamar’s,I believe, 50 yard run, against perhaps the best defense in the league a thing of technical beauty was called back on a holding penalty which on the replay was dubious at best and in my opinion a fraudulent call.
Just for business purposes this was a miserable call. It would be a highlight all year hyping the game. How, to ruin a great game, letting the officiating become more influential than the players. This really sucks.
@segagenesis7708 as a former athletic qb/ football player people really have no idea how hard it is to run 10+ times..call plays then maintain proper mechanics. It is very taxing..but hey everyone thinks what lamar does is not special or unique 🤷🏿♂️
13:47 It was technically a strip sack for Chris Jones, but it was the left tackle that knocked the ball out of Lamar Jackson’s hand. If you watch the broadcast replay they show it up close from the position of the mike linebacker you can see it.
Great breakdown, Lamar and the Ravens looked like they didn’t play any in preseason
This qb in the learning is MVP. COME ON
We're back baby. We are bAaAAack!!!
You know it's funny, because last season I feel like Lamar was very, very good about getting out of the pocket and then resetting his feet and looking downfield to make a throw. I don't know if it was the spotty pass protection, the pressure to run the ball when they didn't in the AFC champ game, or if he just felt antsy about having to do it all to beat the chiefs, but Lamar definitely seemed less composed in certain parts of this game. As you pointed out, it seemed like sometimes he was trying to run at the first opportunity instead of progressing through his reads.
This was a amazing game to watch. Great play design from both teams the Ravens have a really good team Lamar has to clean up the details
I feel for #43 having to block Stone Cold Chris Jones 2 plays in a row
Lamar action Jackson probably one of his best games I’ve seen from him ,he left some plays out there nobody perfect but goddamn he does whole reason why Baltimore ain’t get lose by 30. Grateful for QB1. There’s plenty of season left.
Not saying much
If Lamar runs like this for the next say handful of games, he’s not gonna be playing all 17 games. He needs to really learn how to play within the pocket and shuffle instead of taking big strides like most running QB. I like him but I’d hope he be a better QB in the pocket with this many years in the league.
FUCK YES! WE'RE BACK, BABAAAAAYYYYYYY!
HAHA
Amazing breakdown
I said there'd be absolutely zero "pitch count" on LJ runs this game. In my view, this game plan is utterly unsustainable. Lamar and BAL simply displayed a "blunt force trama" YOLO game plan.
They had zero business being within 17 points of KC, who punted on BAL 40, had a bad Mahomes pick, and settled for 6 points off two turnovers.
Agreed. I'm a Ravens fan, but we just haven't built the sort of passing game that can stand on its own feet. Our WRs are weak (Zay is the best and he's not even Top 20), the passing scheme is average and the protection is bad. But if we at least had significant improvement in two of those three areas, Lamar wouldn't have to run for our offense to do anything and then I think he remains more consistent with his mechanics. But the man was exhausted out there.
I think the main issue is we have three new linemen starting and our protection that game, especially early on, was rough. So Lamar definitely took off and ran more than he normally does. It was also the first time that oline played together in a live game, Ravens didnt play any starters in the preseason games. They did better later on but hopefully they can get on the same page sooner this season so Lamar can consistently make those nice pocket throws we all know he can make. Plus our run game/run blocking needs to get going, that was mediocre at best that game...
If there was a way ?
Getting Lamar an O-line.
Yeah. A lot JT criticism is largely driven by LJ behind a very bad OL. Even when he did have time he didn’t feel comfortable. Don’t blame him.
Burrows and Purdy have worse Olines
@@newagain9964Yeah, alot of the footwork issues are also a result of the bad o line since he probably isnt confident in being able to settle down.
@@vitigaymer1053 purdy definetely doesnt
@@vitigaymer1053 bruh. This is a serious nfl review show/channel. Not espn and the like. Cut it out.
correct me if im wrong coach and it may be pointing out the obvious but lamar jackson just has much better instincts as a runner than as a passer. the issues you pointed out in this video although he's improved on many of them they're still the same issues he came into the league with and even with the improvements they still stand out in "gotta have it" moments. when you were talking about him stepping up and resetting in the pocket that just seems to be something that has to be instinctual since everything is moving so fast and you are relying more on instincts and muscle memory than thinking everything you're doing through in the front of your mind. he's been in the league for a minute now and although im a fan and id love nothing more than to see the chiefs lose, i just dont see him being the main reason his team makes it over the hump in the playoffs like mahomes is for the chiefs. i think he can absolutely be a big playoff contributor if he can dial it in but its gonna have to be a stout defense + great run game + lamar playing sound football and not missing big throws or making any big mistakes. and of course he'll be awesome and in the mvp conversation during the regular season. he's the joel embiid of the nfl in a lot of ways.
great video.
on that deep likely pass where he missed, what do you think is the best throw there? when i first watched it i thought he should’ve thrown it to the left to kind of flatten likely’s route out, but im not sure
Needed u bro
Thank you sir
I watched the highlights, and that was a fantastic game. He has never been a pure pocket passer. He uses his legs too much, as you know. They got Derrick Henry, and he should have used that guy more. That would have helped with the rush and given him more time to move up in the pocket. There's no sense mentioning the obvious, I guess.
It's almost like Lamar is drifting to the side he is throwing to. Instead of lining up from the center of the pocket, he appears to drift to lineup for the pass. He also might be doing it to give the receiver time to win instead of just keeping his base and throwing from that venter pocket position.
18:28 when he did that last year i often wish he instead did the one and run.
Bevause most times hed still have no one open on those other reads and then hed try to run and the lane is already collapsing
51:48 I wouldn’t even say back pylon. Middle of end zone side line easy catch and TD
We’re so back
Can you do a 32 qb ranking video please I’d love to know where u rank each starter
To my eye, as the game went on I think he started to get a little frantic. Almost like he wants it so bad that he loses his fundamentals. When you question “why is he drifting left?” I think the obvious answer is that he doesn’t trust the right side of his protection. He’s drifting toward Stanley because he trusts him more.
Love Lamar but it’s tough watching this game. He’s electric but he needs way more consistency in the pocket. 2 time MVP player and we’re still saying he needs to improve in the pocket. If not now I don’t know when he will. They threw Greg Roman under the bus and I don’t see how they’re going to throw Todd monken under the bus. The plays are there, the space is there, the creativity is all there. Just sucks still preaching the same thing for 4 years.
Yep the idea that he is going to somehow become a great pocket passer, in his sixth year is ridiculous. He just isn't accurate. ESPECIALLY under pressure. Dude is maybe 6th at best behind guys like Mahomes, Burrow, Allen and Stroud and Purdy. The biggest part of playing qb is accurate passing. I don't care if you are an electric runner. It can only get you so far and it will end your career far earlier than someone who is an elite pocket passer.
@@terrythegnome2408 He is the only one on your list to do more with less😂
@@MOHAMEDMOHAMED-bx3ji we can keep making excuses for Lamar on why he can’t win from the pocket consistently. But like JT says the film doesn’t lie. When Lamar is at his best, he is in my opinion the best QB in the game. But there’s just too many games like this one where he just misses throws and is terribly late on reads. Especially when he reaches the post season, this game reminds me so much of all of his post season games and that’s why his post season record is so poor.
Hard to do with the terrible protection he got all night
@@Broadkill54 he has an average o line now. Thats not an excuse. If he's second best it shouldn't matter. Its not a bottom 5-8 unit. He is slow to see open receivers making it way harder on his line too. The end with the rb on Chris Jones is pretty comical though.
we’re so back
we back
14:00 kind of a cheap shot by Lamar. The defender obviously expecting him to go out and not trying to get a penalty for hitting the qb and Lamar looks like he's going out. But then he goes for the hit. Weak.
Crying about a strategic hit in football is weak....go, watch a non-contact spot.
@@zanderson5757he’s kinda right bro. As a defender you can’t go for the hit on a QB, setting 35 to get to take a big one from Lamar.
Let's get a Jalen hurts review. He looked off this week and not sure to start him or Tua next week
If you put Lamar in an offense where the passing game can work on its own and he doesn't need to do all of that running, you'll get more consistent mechanics and accuracy. There's a reason no other team asks their QB to do that much running. You're basically exhausting your QB, but expecting him to maintain great mechanics.
48:24 Another point is that he should play some preseason games. Based of that drive/ play he doesn’t look comfortable down the stretch esp coming close to the end of the game. Plus playing from behind.
On the penultimate play, I didn’t see 7 being open, and the spacing looked fine to me. Hindsight is 20/20, but Flowers seems like the logical guy to be open there. Doesn’t look like that was the design though, which I think had to do with Lamar not seeing it sooner, but maybe it’s because it takes too long to open up, being a sort of fluke from the scramble, but seems like Flowers got there fast enough to be a real play. Looks like twice in a row (final play too) chiefs weren’t dropping deep enough in coverage in the middle.
All in all I thought a high level game for game 1.
You didn't see 7 being open, because 7 didn't go where he was supposed to go. A consistent issue for 7.
Football is back y’all hell yeah
We back!
Lamar is asked to do everything and is the reason why we were in the game to begin with. He is one man. He can’t do everything by himself. He has to deal with bad coaching that he has to overcome and an inadequate offensive unit around him to make his job harder. Eric Decosta has failed Lamar by not rebuilding the o-line during the offseason, and still not give him a number 1 wr. At the end of the day, if the Ravens continue this path by being too cheap on offense to help Lamar, then Lamar is gonna eventually leave this team and go somewhere where he can reach his full potential.
the play at 17:00 regarding the RPO pick play, #15 got cussed out by lamar on the bench because he 100% didn’t execute the play correctly
...who scheemed up a 150 pound rb blocking a 300 pond DE?
About the near first Likely miss in the deep middle of the field. I think he threw it like that cause he didn't expect the safety to come over that quick. BUT that being said. If he threw that ball more towards the numbers. I think that ball is caught
WE BACK!!!!
Do you think fatigue is what causes some of the footwork issues?
Lemar carried the team on his back but he definitely needs to get better as a passer and understanding match ups. Doesn't matter how great your player is if the opponent has equal or better player. Especially putting a running back against Chris Jones. Wtf. That said Lemar looked like Lemar of 2018 2019. Dynamic electric just amazing
He'll get better when he doesn't have to run as much. We don't have a Top 20 WR or a top 10 passing scheme or top 20 pass protection. 2/3 need to be in place. He's running too much. He's exhausted. That's why his mechanics slip later in games.
13:36 to be fair that was roger Rosengartens first nfl snap. Afainst the best d linemen he will likely face lol.
Poor guy. Happened exactly as us expect
