@@Mrfantastic-hp2enhe does I promise u, he’s getting used to his new weapons and we’re already number 1 seed… we’re not even done jelling together 🤦🏽♂️ that’s scary tbh
@@Isayuh2003 I like Zay but OBJ isn't a long term guy and neither is Bateman. If can get strike out with another WR talent in the next years' draft full of them, this offense is will cover more weaknesses and reach that potential faster.
Great breakdown. Crazy thing is he’s always wanted to be in this type offense. The Ravens took 2 years to long to shift. Lamar puts in the off-season and film work. Im just glad that he was able to get into this offense before his body begins to fail him. I believe the next year and beyond will be his best years.
unfortunately that's when his weapons are going to be harder to keep cuz of his contract is only going to go up and look at the guys that already have a big contract on defense ro got 100 Williams got 75 it's going to be hard
@@MichaelJohnson-rv9zv Which defensive players are up for big contracts? Madabuike probably but he'll command a fair price. The edge players they have drafted in the first round so they have 2-3 years left (with the 5th year option). Queen's value isn't great so the Ravens will low ball him anyway. Plus next years draft class is RICH in WR talent. If there is a class the Ravens have to get right it is there since they can get 5 years out of immediate contributors for Lamar in the pass game.
@@t4d0W mads is going to go for a fat payday if he just wanted a fair deal he wouldve took the offer the ravens gave him by the time we pick in the draft all the wrs that could help us out right away will be gone plus we still need a number two corner opposite of marlon and a lt lg rg and rt
@MichaelJohnson-rv9zv That's the case with any elite QB in the league. Ravens should focus on OLine and DB since Zay, Bateman, Andrews and Likely will all be here for 2 more years at least. Stanley still deals with injuries every now and then plus some of the safeties/ corners are possible free agents soon.
@@MichaelJohnson-rv9zvalways remember the Ravens (decosta & newsome) are arguably the best defensive drafters in the league. We've been drafting stars consistently since 96' I'm not worried about losing some more just so we can gain more
As a Louisville fan myself, I always challenge people to go back and watch his college tape. His offense was littered with pro concepts. It just got overshadowed because of how godly of a runner he is.
Yeah people don’t realize how bad Louisville’s coaching was under Petrino. Lamar is facing such a big learning curve in the league because he was never developed at UofL. Staff had him playing schoolyard ball just about all the time 😅
Marvelous breakdown of Lamar's elevation under Monken's guidance. Your 11' presentation took me (a fan who never played the game) 32 mn to grasp how Lamar is rising to a superior level of quaterbacking. Thank you for your uncompromising dedication to introduce casual viewers to a deep understanding of the complexities of the game, and to a fairer appreciation of brilliant players and coaches.
Greg Roman's offense helped ease Lamar Jackson into the NFL. By 2021, it was clear it was holding him back. I'm so glad we finally get to see this version of Lamar in full. Instead of small spurts because of how he was being previously used. This ability was always there. MVP8!
Seems that the name of the game is more complex route schemes requiring quicker progressions but leading to wide open balls and easy passes to space. Lamar doesn’t have to have Drew Brees accuracy if he goes through his progressions to find the open man. He’s clearly put in the work to understand their new offensive concepts too. You can see his confidence.
And threat of his running ability, I think his first three years in the league put the fear of god in his opponents. Because he was cutting and juking at a level most running back wish they could. So giving him any type of real space is way too dangerous. So his opponents always have that on their mind. That’s why his receivers and running backs get so much room to make plays because opponents work 90% of their game plan is focus on him.
The timing of this upload was excellent. Anyone watching the Baltimore vs. Jacksonville Sunday night game (12/17/23) can attest: Lamar has levelled up. The box score from that game does not even BEGIN to tell the story. Lamar consistently buys time: sliding up, stepping out, and reversing course, when pressured- and instead of taking off (like he used to), he finds the open man. Purdy, CMC, the Cheetah, Dak, and Mahomes get the MVP talk- but, the truly most VALUABLE player, on any team, is Jackson. Yes, Baltimore has a scrappy defense. And, yes, even with Tucker having a down year, the special teams are fantastic. Yet, that offense begins and ends with Lamar. And he's doing it without his #1 running back (again) and his #1 target in an All-Pro TE in Andrews. The numbers don't necessarily reflect how good of a season this young man is having.
“and with the reps…”. Exactly!! The run-first offenses resulted in Lamar just not throwing enough passes to move his skill forward to it’s potential. You get good by DOING, and doing a lot of passes has finally brought his skill level up that one notch. you see it in going through progressions, hitting small windows, changing the play at the line, etc. Next year, he is going to put on a season for the ages, just watch. he just needs to get his deep accuracy back to where he’s shown jt can be. generational talent and fantastic leader. a born qb
He’s always had this ability I’m just disappointed that the Ravens didn’t move on from Roman quicker. This offense is also made better by the fact that Zay and Odell can actually win on the outside. Remember last year Duvernay was their #1? Yea that was bound to fail
Hope for LJ's no one comes calling for Todd Monken as a HC. It was excellent at UGA as well, but I think a vastly underrated aspect of play design is pass protection, and Todd's is as good as it gets.
Nobody's taking him tht quick relax hope for a million dollars b4 u hope someone will take Todd from us lol if we go or even win the sb bet he will be coming back it's not only about hc job some ppl like the achievements of getting to sb as well with a team they have bonded with eventually yeah your right but he just got to Baltimore he gonna be there at least 3 or 4 seasons b4 tht happens especially if the ravens are rolling still
@@bigreg8512 He's been in and out the league for a minute. In fact he moves as much as any coordinator I know of. If someone offers a HC contract (some of them are obscene) I see no reason he'd want to stay. I hope I'm wrong for LJ's sake, I want to see him succeed, and continuity would go a long way with that.
@@zackhurwitz9441 I stand corrected thought it was his first I apologize my guy nothing wrong with being wrong if your willing to own up to it as a adult
1:40 is a reminder that YAC is also a QB stat. On time, and the receiver has a full head of steam to round the outside corner. (Still a great read and good throw.)
from lamars days in louisville i could already tell the demon he would be in the league but tbh i didn’t think it would be this good, that man can literally do everything and is only getting better, once he gets his ring this year i don’t think anyone higher then him at QB rn even mahomes 🤷♂️
Sometimes football prognosticators get it completely wrong. I've watched this guy since his days in Louisville, through the NFL draft & throughout his career. It's amazing to me how often Lamar has proven them all wrong about his gamesmanship, even the owners in Baltimore. Why on earth would anyone believe a word anyone would say about Lamar? I'm a Cleveland fan, born & bred. I'd never, ever, ever bet against Lamar Jackson on any feature of his play. Just shutup about Lamar/thanx.
With Monken's scheme showing it can work with the little wrinkles just needing to be worked out, the Ravens can finally say their potential in the playoffs or even SB isn't built on their defense. But how well their offense solves those opposing defenses and respond to possible offensive shootouts. Personnel wise the run game has been fine even if not resilient without the guy they hope to be that centerpiece in Dobbins. But the pass game has certainly reached that base floor of scoring potential, putting up big points on demand even against average opposing defenses. The next games with the Niners and the Fins will be the real term paper test but I feel Monken has the Ravens offense set up for graduation.
The Ravens defense is one of the best they’ve had in years though. And one of the best in the league in a while. They’ll probably allow less than 16 points a game if they perform against Miami and Pittsburgh the way I think they will. (By which I mean limit Miami to ten points or less and shut out the Steelers completely).
I’m happy we won, but can the Flock Nation please pray with me for Keaton, for a speedy recovery and if he’s done for the season, Lets pray he comes back stronger than ever next season. It sucks, because he was having a hell of a season.
I seriously think Lamar is the qb with the most arm talent potential in the league. Yes I mean more potential than Mahomes and Josh Allen. If Lamar starts to dial in his deep ball and continue improvement on his quick reads, his ceiling is insanely high. The sidearm throws and his ability to literally whip the ball anywhere he wants with velocity is absurd.
Also think the Jags offense would be interesting to hear you analyze. Trevor has been hurt, but the offense just doesn't look right, despite the collection of talent.
Its a solid bag he got too despite all that negotiation hubbub. Still lesser in guarantees than what Haslam paid Deshaun in a long deal to be injured and be mid.
That was my knock on him and it was fair to say it but it wasn't out of hate or disrespect, it was out of CONCERN. When those running QB's rely too much on their legs, their passing skill atrophy and degrade so when their legs get heavy, they have nothing to fall back on and their career is done by 30 or 32 years of age. Lamar has a dart, he can wing it we just never got to see ANY of that until now.
living up to your name. at louisville and in the nfl he’s been an improviser and scrambler, arm talent doesnt equal pocket passer. He’s developing into a pocket passer
@@gunner2286if you actually watch reps with well designed and protected pass plays (very very rare in the greg roman offense) he was much more of a pocket passer than you're giving him credit for, he just never had the scheme or volume to show it fully
what I'm tryna say is ur both kinda right, he's always HAD to be a scrambler (because the system sucked) but he also, at the same time had the skills and (more importantly) the willingness to be a more pocket passer type of QB.
@@heat_death7 footwork wasn’t good, still not ideal now but a lot better, missed reads and would force throws, that’s not a pocket passer. your bias is showing, you should be happy he’s becoming a pocket passer, he won mvp without being one so imagine his success in a year or two
@@heat_death7 to say the system sucked is ridiculous, it just became a bit predictable and unreliable on big downs when running wasn’t an option. lamar was a playmaker first, thrower second. that’s why he was a weekly highlight machine but that doesn’t work reliably come playoff time and lamar is making the shift to become a pass-first qb
Lamar like I said after 2019... With wrs he can't be stopped. The Ravens have been wildly bad at making mistakes to ruin drives so if they clean up at all we dropijng 50
Hopefully Lamar’s ball placement and throwing outside the numbers can improve so he can really take advantage of bateman who has been underrated for unfortunate reasons. I do believe he can still develop even more since it’s only year one in monkins system
He’s really a perfect quarterback aside from his deep ball… he was actually the best in the league at the deep ball his MVP year & for some reason has regressed, maybe due to chemistry issues? If he can get that deep ball back he will be a top 2 QB
He throws really well outside the numbers and intermediate and short routes. It’s the deep ball that’s inconsistent. Once that’s corrected, he will be the most unstoppable force at the QB we’ve ever seen
With a potent WR class coming next year, I think Bateman's won't have a 2nd contract with the Ravens after next season. Gotta look forward with how important receiver talent is to Monken's system. Hell so far they are doing well without Andrews who historically was Lamar's best receiver in his QB career.
@@t4d0W honestly I hope he’s not a raven he could benefit from it however he still got another year on that contract and obj’s contract was just for this year. Hopefully they don’t think the wrs are the problem and draft another one. He was just the leading receiver past weekend. U probably right tho sadly
This is so crazy as I’m watching this video I’m thinking of how everyone got it wrong with him with the deep ball accuracy. I was just watching the video like it’s not that he has bad deep ball accuracy it’s that his footwork falters a lot. He gets choppy feet like he’s about to juke someone and it causes his deep ball to be off because he throwing all arm. I get it though because that’s his super power he always has the ability to get out of a sticky situation. “Can’t have it all”
The man has been making ridculous passes for years now. I believe if he had stayed healthy, the Ravens would have already won a super bowl in the past 2-years.
All these narratives are dumb. Lamar didnt "evolve" he finally got an o coordinator who doesnt place dead last in passing every year, and some extra wr talent to boot. Its such an insult to anyone whos been watching him play, he's been in a league of his own ever since he was drafted. We tried to tell yall but you kept saying he was an rb for some reason.
The is the new Doug Williams, the first black quarterback to win a Superbowl. They said a Blackman couldn't play the position of quarterback. But he defined all odds and proved his critics wrong. Lamar Jackson will win a Superbowl and will have a better career than all the quarterbacks that they are better than him.
At this point, I think commentators don’t wanna admit they were wrong so that double down. He’s putting up incredible numbers in every field they said he couldn’t
Am I missing something? His stats stats were better with Greg Roman and Roman got more out of Lamar with less talent. Apart from that Lamar's pocket passing has been great from his second season the narrative has lived as a baseless talking point
Lamar Jackson from year 1 to year 2 is the biggest improvement I've ever seen in a pro QB. He went from an amazing runner and terrible passer to amazing runner and decent NFL-quality passer who used the threat of running to get guys open and immediately won MVP. He must have studied his ass off that offseason.
He wasn’t terrible he made few game winning throws especially when they first play chargers in regular season. It was just that terrible play off game against chargers. But he always threw the ball well. A terrible passer would be Tim Tebow that’s what you would call terrible. Tim Tebow had 46% passing completions he used to finish games with like only 2 passes completed. Lamar Jackson had a 59% his rookie and he didn’t start that year until week 8 or 10. But that’s average completion percentage among rookie quarterbacks he just wasn’t always hitting the deep ball but everything else he was very good at.
His playstyle has evolved so much. Hes turned into a game manager and that isnt a slight at him hes the best game manager in the league. And if you need him to take over the game he can still do that hes just very smart with how he uses his legs now. Avoiding injury as much as possible minimzing big hits. On those short to intermediate throws hes elite the arm angles he gets the ball out is crazy
Purdy was looking goofy in the 2nd half of that Ravens-Niners game when he had to drop back and try dissect MacDonald's defensive coverage looks. Dude was so frazzled Darnold had to come in to fuck shit up for a TD.
That would be nice. But Ravens are trying to develop an affordable and cheap WR core and next years' draft class is flushed with them. Meanwhile Higgins is looking for a BIG pay out because he knows his value.
For sure but this Ravens pass offense with Lamar is certainly nothing like 2019. In the Fins game Lamar found his mismatches easily for some chunk plays. In red zone drives they got the run game to threaten with or use looks from the run game to create some smart misdirection. Like in one instance where they ran condensed sets, had the TEs block for what looked like a run then peel off the other way and had Likely super open with no dude on him for a Lamar pass and catch TD. I feel this Ravens offense can be as good in the playoffs because they solve defensive situations against top 10 defenses in many ways to put points on them.
@RaRa-pe9dt it's weird how some of the young QBs have their talent criticized for their lack of playoff success but the only QBs with a real longterm history of playoff wins are Rodgers, Wilson and Mahomes.
I’m big on Lamar & the footwork if he can just get that down pat then he will be a true pocket passer he has the arm he throws darts accurate ones too he just needs to set his feet so he can put the ball where it needs to be
Best running QB ever...Passing...Not so much....This season...18th in TD passes....11th in comp.pct....22nd in pass yds per game....This says mediocre,sorry.....Facts is facts
Anyone who actually watches Lamar, 80% of his completions are to wide open receivers. Anything in a tight window, he often misses, overthrows or into the ground.
@@legorovers9838he's also tied with for most sacks out of all starting QBs, but it's not because of his line. He's #1 in time with the ball in hand behind the line of scrimmage. So he gets plentyy of time but can't throw into tight windows like accurate QBs can.

@@gunner2286if you actually watch reps with well designed and protected pass plays (very very rare in the greg roman offense) he was much more of a pocket passer than you're giving him credit for, he just never had the scheme or volume to show it fully
what I'm tryna say is ur both kinda right, he's always HAD to be a scrambler (because the system sucked) but he also, at the same time had the skills and (more importantly) the willingness to be a more pocket passer type of QB.
@@heat_death7 footwork wasn’t good, still not ideal now but a lot better, missed reads and would force throws, that’s not a pocket passer. your bias is showing, you should be happy he’s becoming a pocket passer, he won mvp without being one so imagine his success in a year or two
@@heat_death7 to say the system sucked is ridiculous, it just became a bit predictable and unreliable on big downs when running wasn’t an option. lamar was a playmaker first, thrower second. that’s why he was a weekly highlight machine but that doesn’t work reliably come playoff time and lamar is making the shift to become a pass-first qb
Lamar like I said after 2019... With wrs he can't be stopped. The Ravens have been wildly bad at making mistakes to ruin drives so if they clean up at all we dropijng 50
Came to watch cuz lamar is so good. Grateful he didn’t show my niners getting cooked lol
Can we get a Kyle Shanahan vid? His offense this year has been crazy
Hopefully Lamar’s ball placement and throwing outside the numbers can improve so he can really take advantage of bateman who has been underrated for unfortunate reasons. I do believe he can still develop even more since it’s only year one in monkins system
He’s really a perfect quarterback aside from his deep ball… he was actually the best in the league at the deep ball his MVP year & for some reason has regressed, maybe due to chemistry issues? If he can get that deep ball back he will be a top 2 QB
He throws really well outside the numbers and intermediate and short routes. It’s the deep ball that’s inconsistent. Once that’s corrected, he will be the most unstoppable force at the QB we’ve ever seen
With a potent WR class coming next year, I think Bateman's won't have a 2nd contract with the Ravens after next season. Gotta look forward with how important receiver talent is to Monken's system. Hell so far they are doing well without Andrews who historically was Lamar's best receiver in his QB career.
@@t4d0W honestly I hope he’s not a raven he could benefit from it however he still got another year on that contract and obj’s contract was just for this year. Hopefully they don’t think the wrs are the problem and draft another one. He was just the leading receiver past weekend. U probably right tho sadly
This is so crazy as I’m watching this video I’m thinking of how everyone got it wrong with him with the deep ball accuracy. I was just watching the video like it’s not that he has bad deep ball accuracy it’s that his footwork falters a lot. He gets choppy feet like he’s about to juke someone and it causes his deep ball to be off because he throwing all arm. I get it though because that’s his super power he always has the ability to get out of a sticky situation. “Can’t have it all”
But that only when he get rushed so when the line gets beat he always does that but with a clean pocket he throws from the hip
The man has been making ridculous passes for years now. I believe if he had stayed healthy, the Ravens would have already won a super bowl in the past 2-years.
All these narratives are dumb. Lamar didnt "evolve" he finally got an o coordinator who doesnt place dead last in passing every year, and some extra wr talent to boot. Its such an insult to anyone whos been watching him play, he's been in a league of his own ever since he was drafted. We tried to tell yall but you kept saying he was an rb for some reason.
facts...
I love how you didn’t refer to the Broncos-Dolphins game as a game, but rather as an ass whooping 😭
For The People!
I wonder when you are gonna talk up the 49ers defense or the rise of the broncos
The is the new Doug Williams, the first black quarterback to win a Superbowl. They said a Blackman couldn't play the position of quarterback. But he defined all odds and proved his critics wrong. Lamar Jackson will win a Superbowl and will have a better career than all the quarterbacks that they are better than him.
At this point, I think commentators don’t wanna admit they were wrong so that double down. He’s putting up incredible numbers in every field they said he couldn’t
relatively healthy RB room until you posted this video LOL
Am I missing something? His stats stats were better with Greg Roman and Roman got more out of Lamar with less talent. Apart from that Lamar's pocket passing has been great from his second season the narrative has lived as a baseless talking point
We have 15 rushing TDs from the 5 yard line. Which shows we run in the red zone way more than we pass. Which hurts Lamar's stats.
Lamar Jackson from year 1 to year 2 is the biggest improvement I've ever seen in a pro QB. He went from an amazing runner and terrible passer to amazing runner and decent NFL-quality passer who used the threat of running to get guys open and immediately won MVP. He must have studied his ass off that offseason.
He wasn’t terrible he made few game winning throws especially when they first play chargers in regular season. It was just that terrible play off game against chargers. But he always threw the ball well. A terrible passer would be Tim Tebow that’s what you would call terrible. Tim Tebow had 46% passing completions he used to finish games with like only 2 passes completed. Lamar Jackson had a 59% his rookie and he didn’t start that year until week 8 or 10. But that’s average completion percentage among rookie quarterbacks he just wasn’t always hitting the deep ball but everything else he was very good at.
Crazy how just a few months ago everyone was saying lamar wasnt worth his money while people were praising ny for their danny dimes contract lma9
Who praised nyg for daniel jones contract? Like why tf making this up? Nyg were mostly made fun of for giving him this contract.
@qwerty-rh6ht Why would I make something so stupid up? I'm only sharing what I seen from the mouths of multiple fans🤣
Hmm, since "evolving" is turning into a "pocket passer", is Josh Allen "devolving" by relying on his legs more and more?
His playstyle has evolved so much. Hes turned into a game manager and that isnt a slight at him hes the best game manager in the league. And if you need him to take over the game he can still do that hes just very smart with how he uses his legs now. Avoiding injury as much as possible minimzing big hits. On those short to intermediate throws hes elite the arm angles he gets the ball out is crazy
Just wish they went under center just a bit more
wow
Love Jackson. Hell of a player. But unfortunate that the 49ers will beat them in the SB.
20-1 against nfc 😂
Purdy was looking goofy in the 2nd half of that Ravens-Niners game when he had to drop back and try dissect MacDonald's defensive coverage looks. Dude was so frazzled Darnold had to come in to fuck shit up for a TD.
I love Lamar Jackson. But I CANNOT stand his fans. My Gawd. Can't wait for the Niners to handle him
Yeah, this comment section is a living proof of that. The most obnoxious fanbase next to josh allen's stans
@@qwerty-rh6ht BROOOO YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD!!!!
The edit from 'my jags' to 'the niners' is killing me 🤣🤣
Niners' should handle them though
@@ThinkingFootball We gonna pretend that didn't happen 😂
Hopefully we aren't gonna change it again 🤣🤣
Please do another video on the Eagles. What's going on here is a travesty. All this talent and no syenergy + Hurts has regressed.
Protect Jackson watch what happens if he had tee Higgins it would been over
That would be nice. But Ravens are trying to develop an affordable and cheap WR core and next years' draft class is flushed with them. Meanwhile Higgins is looking for a BIG pay out because he knows his value.
The bullshit is he been great.. I said give him the WRs like Joe or Josh and see what he can do
Ima hold my judgment till I see his performance this season in the playoffs.
2019 he won the MVP and got bounced out by a lower seed at home.
Herbert isn’t up there in your qb rankings if playoffs are the only thing used
For sure but this Ravens pass offense with Lamar is certainly nothing like 2019. In the Fins game Lamar found his mismatches easily for some chunk plays. In red zone drives they got the run game to threaten with or use looks from the run game to create some smart misdirection. Like in one instance where they ran condensed sets, had the TEs block for what looked like a run then peel off the other way and had Likely super open with no dude on him for a Lamar pass and catch TD. I feel this Ravens offense can be as good in the playoffs because they solve defensive situations against top 10 defenses in many ways to put points on them.
@RaRa-pe9dt it's weird how some of the young QBs have their talent criticized for their lack of playoff success but the only QBs with a real longterm history of playoff wins are Rodgers, Wilson and Mahomes.
Are you sure he's not SAMUEL L JACKSON son .
I’m big on Lamar & the footwork if he can just get that down pat then he will be a true pocket passer he has the arm he throws darts accurate ones too he just needs to set his feet so he can put the ball where it needs to be
Be honest bro are you hip hop madness??! You sound just like him and run the same sponsors lol
Man we took Sony Michel over Lamar. Smfh, what a joke D;
Bro YOU NEED TO BE IN SOMEONES ROOM FOR FILM STUDY. You’re playing chess
Best running QB ever...Passing...Not so much....This season...18th in TD passes....11th in comp.pct....22nd in pass yds per game....This says mediocre,sorry.....Facts is facts
Well when you have 15 rushing TDs within the 5 yard line you have to wonder who got them close enough that they can just punch it in....just saying
Ravens will beat the 49rs in the Super Bowl.
49ers about to expose Lamar today. He runs a high school offense just like Jalen
still time to delete before anybody else sees this
who expose what? 49ers looked like the high school team on all 3 phases
DUDE LEAVE THIS NARRATIVE SIT DOWN & BE QUIET
Anyone who actually watches Lamar, 80% of his completions are to wide open receivers. Anything in a tight window, he often misses, overthrows or into the ground.
this is cap
@@legorovers9838yeah you're delusional. 11th in completion percentage and his throws are easy because of the time he creates
@@legorovers9838he's also tied with for most sacks out of all starting QBs, but it's not because of his line. He's #1 in time with the ball in hand behind the line of scrimmage. So he gets plentyy of time but can't throw into tight windows like accurate QBs can.
@@legorovers9838There's a reason he's never even been to a Conference championship lmao. Can't win against good defenses consistently.
He’s like 20th in yac lol
