It's going to be a close game and it's going to come down to who makes the mistake.

Why make up shit to make attempt to make him look smarter than his OC?

I'll try it once more. The gameplan going in was to test the Texans secondary because they have a weak secondary. They didn't expect Ryans to send, not just the kitchen sink, but the house on literally every single play ( they blitzed 75% of the time Saturday). They went into half and made adjustments just as they have done every single game this season. Lamar was apart of the adjustment conversation just as Mahomes is for the Chiefs. He said they couldn't continue to call long developing plays because they were sending more rushers then the had blockers. It wasn't that coaches didn't see I mean Steve Winder and Ray Charles saw it. My point is the stupid guy with the low wonderlic that can't read defenses knew just enough to know they needed to go to shorter passes and didn't need someone to hold his hand to figure it out.

Y'all remember when Jarvis Landry clowned him in the Skills competition?

That was fun times...

Lamar Jackson -- razor precise underneath passer:

And now someone needs to tell you no, we don't think he's THAT dumb..... obviously. He wouldn't be in the NFL if he couldn't figure that out.

I know you'll laugh at this but this guy under center for the Ravens is light years better than that guy that punished Spags for blitzing him 2 years ago. This guy is eating the blitz alive and get this he's also doing it outside the numbers.

If Jackson is such an advanced processor in command of the offense, why isn't he adjusting to that on the fly? Checking to a different play? Telling a receiver to run a hot? Or after a drive? Why is that a halftime conversation? If you want to use an example of how in control he is, I don't that is the example you're looking for.

And, I don't think this thread in general is saying Lamar is dumb and that's his downfall, or that he's dumb and therefore can't handle the blitz. Maybe some early on or in one of the other threads on this board, but the topic recently has MOSTLY been about him being a dynamic playmaker you have to try to get to play within a few confines.

Finally, regarding blitzing. When talking about Jackson's ability to handle the blitz, referencing what he did two years ago in one game is meaningless to both sides of the discussion.

Geez, are all these Ravens fans going to be this dumb? if so, this is going to be very boring.
