Teams Baltimore Ravens - Rise and Conquer

[Exe Gesis]

The right guard got it wrong, tho still resulted in a third and short conversion. Also big issues with pass protection out of the Raiders game.

Eli and Peyton were very critical of the amount of "Zero" the Ravens ran on D and how Gruden was all over it, constantly exposing them.

Wink Martindale loves himself some Cover-0 - I'd be more interested in seeing what the average is for the Ravens D per game over the last 2 years than in seeing a comparison to a completely different team

We did that at the amateur level when I played. The QB left to play for another team week 2 and the next 8 games, we attempted <3 passes per game. When the D out scores the other team, running the ball to bleed the clock, is an easy choice.

For sure the run heavy philosophy is the reason. Also shows the Ravens have been winning most games or only behind by a few points they didnt need to air it out. Its an active streak tho (250)

Apart from that game.... regular season

brutal month on the injury front

brutal month on the injury front

Sometimes you get a brilliant injury run through the season…. Sometimes you just can never get going…. Other times, you still perform well but whether you win it all, is always the ultimate test.

Lamar Jackson should get his second contract done now

Posted by Mike Florio on September 18, 2021, 1:11 PM EDT

Here’s something I meant to post on Tuesday. The sentiment still applies today, because the thing that needs to happen still hasn’t happened.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson hasn’t signed a second contract. He needs to. Ideally, he needs to do it before Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs.

He likely won’t. He’s representing himself. He’s reportedly so immersed in football that he doesn’t have time to negotiate the contract. And that’s all the more reason for him to hire an agent.

Plenty of players look at, for example, the fact that an agent’s three-percent commission on a $200 million contract becomes a $6 million fee.

That’s a legitimate concern, if the player can negotiate a $200 million contract (or a contract worth more than $194 million) on his own.

For Jackson, it’s unclear whether he can or can’t, because he apparently doesn’t have the time to try. That’s all the more reason to hire someone to do it.

Anyone who watched Monday night’s game knows that Jackson took plenty of hits. He ran the ball plenty of times. Through three-plus years in the NFL, he has avoided major injury. There’s no guarantee that will continue. That’s why he needs to get his contract right now, before the next time he steps into the fray and risks the kind of injury that would cause the Ravens to delay all talks until they’re confident he’ll be the guy he was before the injury.

The 2019 MVP’s current contract in shameful in comparison to other elite-level quarterbacks. On the current list of highest-paid quarterbacks, Jackson currently ranks forty-fifth, with an average annual salary of $2.367 million. He earns less than the likes of Nick Foles, Case Keenum, Jacoby Brissett, Mason Rudolph, Marcus Mariota, Joe Flacco, Mitch Trubisky, C.J. Beathard, and Tim Boyle.

Jackson obviously deserves a huge raise. The Ravens presumably are ready to give it to him. If Jackson is simply too focused on football to get his deal done, he needs someone else to do it for him.

It wouldn’t be hard. He could hire a good agent quickly (it’s not hard for elite players to get recommendations from other elite players), and that agent could tell the Ravens, “We’re getting this done by tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m. ET, or Lamar isn’t playing.”

Given that he hasn’t done it yet, chances are he won’t do it now. Regardless, he needs to. It’s for his own good. Hopefully, there’s a family member, a friend, or a teammate who can and will get his attention and persuade him to get the financial protection he needs. Not in the form of an insurance policy, but in the form of a contract with significant guarantees for injury.

Lamar Jackson records 11th career double-triple, with 239 pass yards, 107 rush yards

Posted by Michael David Smith on September 20, 2021, 5:38 AM EDT

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson recorded the 11th double-triple of his career on Sunday night, extending his record for the most double-triples in NFL history.

A double-triple is when a player records triple-digit yardage in two different statistical categories. In Sunday night’s win over the Chiefs, Jackson passed for 239 yards and ran for 107 yards.

That’s the ninth time Jackson has had a double-triple in the regular season and he’s done it twice in the playoffs. No one in NFL history has had as many double-triples as Jackson.
Michael Vick was the career record holder before Jackson. Vick had eight career double-triples.

No one is close to Jackson and Vick in NFL history: In third place is a three-way tie in career double-triples, with four each: Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, Bears great Walter Payton, and former Steeler Gary Ballman, who has been largely forgotten in NFL history but was once a very good playmaker and four times had more than 100 yards both receiving and returning kickoffs in the same game.

Jackson, at just 24 years old, may finish his career with dozens of double-triples. He’s playing the game like no one ever has in NFL history.

HOLY ****ING SHIT! WHAT A KICK! IN TUCKER WE TRUST!

We had no business winning that game. Awful second half. Very lucky.

Doink and it’s GOOOOD!!!!

Terrible play and not just the second half.

The third down pass when Lamar was about to take a Sack and he threw to Brown and was intercepted; is a bad choice of throw. Brown isn’t winning a contested catch, at least throw to Watkins or Andrews. Brown isn’t going to make that play.
Lots of missed throws by Lamar but really it was us losing up front; our O-Line & D-Line weren’t good this week.

To be fair, we were missing 3/4 of our D-line.

I'll take the W, but lots of improvement needed (hopefully it happens as we get players back).

Also, I love Justin Tucker

I saw the outs for the D-Line and that is understandable. But our O-Line wasn’t missing 3/4 starters and got itself crunched.

Lamar Jackson broke his streak today of 18 games without 250 passing yards (287 today).
