Ultimately you're gonna structure that Ward deal so that you get out of it by the 2nd year of Sneed's 2nd contract (obviously presuming Sneed continues on this development arc). As for the Ravens pass rush - I mean there are frequently 3-4 pass-rush specialists available for fairly cheap. You look at a guy like Jerry Hughes - he never really made bank and was always a dangerous pass rusher. But you're looking at scouring one-trick ponies and/or guys on their 3rd deals so the wheels could fly off them in a hurry. And as we discussed previously - the 3-4 is just a piece of shit front and it's going to make it hard for them to be truly versatile. What they'd need is a JJ Watt sort that can create havoc from the 5 technique and those are just so damn rare. Can you imagine Chris Jones playing DE for them? 2018 Jones in their front would be an absolute nightmare. And he fell to the 2nd. It does happen on occasion. |

The **** are the Ravens even going to do cap space wise? Stanley is probably going to get 23 to 24 million a year after Tunsil ****ed BOB in the ass, and Jackson is effectively a pick your poison situation. You're giving him either a Watson contract which would leave effectively no flexibility or a Mahomes deal which is a lot nicer short term but would cripple the team long term assumedly.

Raven may not go anywhere with LJ. His passing is not coming along and is the reason they lose playoff games.

"What are they going to do when they have to pay Mahomes? They'll never be able to keep Jones and add talent around them..." Then we add Mathieu, retain Watkins, extend Jones AND get Clark his new deal. Having talent is always a good thing and for as flawed as Jackson is, there are still at least 20 teams that would rather have him (AND his coming contract) over whatever they'll have under center. I don't think the Ravens are going away and with a smart front office they'll find SOMETHING to deal with the Chiefs. But they're clearly the little brothers right now and they're gonna have to get lucky or see a fundamental transformation from Jackson to change that. |

I mean I guess when we had cassel Dak would be intriguing as a guy who might give you an outside shot at a super bowl. Im just not impressed. Take away garbage yards and he's a borderline tier 2 guy. And that's with an incredible offensive supporting cast.

I could see lamar take a team friendly deal. Dude does seem like a good team player. But I just don't think that team has any wiggle room to take on any big contract for him. They can't win without a dominant defense and running game. Not only will lamar need to figure that out he'd have to do that routinely. Though to the ravens credit their front office is good enough to still pull it off but they have to be damn near perfect.

And he's only just now starting to dip his toes into some of these marketing opportunities. I still don't think he's signed with a major sportswear company. He's either crazy like a fox or incredibly unsophisticated when it comes to stuff like this. It'll be interesting to see what happens if Lamar tries to do this himself. The devil could end up in the details and it could go REAL poorly for him if he's not careful. |

Anytime a DC goes into a game with the gameplan of "we want to make the QB have to beat us with his arm" I want nothing to do with said QB.

dude is a turd
this film may expose him - just blitz the shit out of the dude https://footballfilmroom.com/2020/10...lamar-jackson/ Kansas City played man coverage on almost 50% of Baltimore’s called pass plays. Two thirds of those snaps were some kind of Cover-0 or combo-man coverage where there was no deep defender in the middle of the field. This was especially true against Baltimore’s empty formations. Cornerback Rashad Fenton and safety Tedric Thompson were bracketing Brown. This was not man-free coverage with a safety providing help in the deep middle. Instead, Thompson immediately attacked the line of scrimmage at the snap to account for Brown’s route inside. The deep middle of the field was left wide open. It didn’t matter. From the end zone angle, you can get a better sense of the idea behind the approach: Bring one more defender than the Ravens could protect to force a quick throw… ..and trust that your defensive backs will be able to play tight coverage and tackle well. As long as the Chiefs could rush under control without getting too far upfield and allowing escape lanes, they could take Lamar’s legs out of the play and neutralize the Ravens’ offense out of empty formations. Kansas City’s approach helped lead to a dismal night for the Ravens on 3rd down. On called pass plays, Baltimore converted just 1 of 7 attempts against the Chiefs. Jackson was 3 of 5 for just 14 yards with 2 sacks on the money down. |

The lack of deep coverage with so many cover 0 looks should put to rest the argument that he doesn't have any WR's.
DC's completely abandon areas of the field when they don't respect the QB's ability to throw the ball there. |
