I've come to hate the Ravens as much as the Colts and nearly as much as the Patriots.
I want to knock their dicks into the dirt and put up 50 on them while holding them to about 17.

I bet that line shrinks. Maybe 4.5 by game time.
Then we win by two scores. |

I will say that I love Lamar Jackson. He's progressed, and he's a pretty good passer now, though with occasional garbage passes in big spots.
He's also, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but he's my favorite ball runner to watch since Jamaal Charles. He has long, effortless strides, and my track & field heart loves seeing it. I'm with Mecca, though -- it's going to get him slaughtered long term. |

And no, the Chiefs don't have the 85 Bears' D. But there are plenty of reasons to believe that it's substantially better, and also more equipped to contain the run. But the most important factor is that, for the first time in years, they appear to have a competent defensive staff that can make adjustments. This will be huge. And it was huge against the Raiders. The start of that game looked like it could've occurred in any of the last three seasons. They were getting steamrolled. Things turned around dramatically and Oakland didn't score in the final 3 quarters. You also have to consider that KC's D is generally way better in front of an Arrowhead crowd. I won't be surprised at all if they look great in the opener. Especially if Frank Clark and Mathieu decide to start earning their checks. Raven's O is improved, but D is weaker. KC's O is as good as ever and D appears to be improved. We'll see how it shakes out. Last edited by RaidersOftheCellar; 09-16-2019 at 02:16 PM.. |

Someone is going to run right past Brandon Carr (many times). Right?

RaidersOftheCellar....thanks for your thoughtful response.
True, you, me, and 9 other guys on this board could probably give MIA a game. If, however, you haven’t seen the entirety of the Ravens games this year, the most impressive part of Jackson’s progress as an NFL QB is the vast improvement in his mechanics and judgement. Granted, he is nowhere near Mahomes, but who is? I also think AZ may surprise some people this year. I’ll put up a shipment of crabcakes vs. some KC ribs that they WILL NOT have the #2 pick next April. |

Classifying all these RPO plays play action is interesting. Not saying it's wrong, just...interesting. I'm not sure it's something anybody has really had to think about statistically-speaking since maybe the late 80s.
As far as pressure goes, the only reason Mahomes isn't getting pressures in the statistical sense is that he apparently has some kind of sixth sense in the pocket. He's crazy good at slipping away from defenders. Especially with this being his second year as a starter. He's kind of like the anti-Alex Smith, making his line look better, rather than running himself into pressure. |

Brady has made a HOF/GOAT career out of that sixth sense.

I'm not a Lamar Jackson hater at all, but trying to put both Offenses on the same level is just plain stupid. |

In playing the Baltimore Ravens a large defensive focus centers around QB Lamar Jackson.
In the first week against Miami, Lamar Jackson threw for 324 yards, 5 TDs and only rushed 3 times for 6 yards. In the second week against Arizona he threw for 272 yards, 2 TDs, but rushed 16 times for 120 yards. Jackson is 6-2, 219 pounds and is supposed to be able to run a 4.3 40. Baltimore's backs Mark Ingram 5-9, 210, 27 carries, 157 yards, and 2 TDs and Gus Edwards 6-1, 238, 20 carries 67 yards. Ingram only has 2 catches for the two games. WRs are Marquise Brown 12 catches for 233 yards and 2 TDs, Willie Snead 3 catches, 46 yards and 1 TD and Miles Boykin 2 catches, 16 yards and 1 TD. TEs Mark Andrews 16 catches, 220 yards 2 TDs, Hayden Hurst 4 catches, 42 yards, and 1 TD and Nick Boyle 4 catches for 40 yards. I think the key on defense is to try and prevent Jackson from getting outside and running but with that speed and quickness it will be hard to do. |
