Lamar Jackson

I watched Lamar Jackson's top 10 runs on youtube. I am still shaking my head in amazement. He is one hell of a QB because he only runs when all his passing options run out or if they are run plays by design. He is so fun to watch though. I cannot imagine there will actually be a day in the future when we can get really excited when the Ravens are on offense. Right now I only get excited when the Ravens D is on the field.

Top 10 runs or scrambles? The scrambles video has no designed runs and really shows his patience and pocket wok

Here is what I watched... looks like some of these were designed runs no?

Those are definitely designed runs.
Just read the other what O'Brian schemed for Watson and how he disguised the yankee concept. It really helps to have a Wr like Hopkins, but it amazes me how defenses didn't catch up esp. Belichick had no answer to adjust in game. Even Sherman and Thomas got burned numerous times.
It will be interesting to see how Watson develops this season.
I hope Marty and Roman can incorporate some of Louisvilles concepts and make them NFL suitable

I may have said it here before, but this is exactly it. He isn't abandoning plays early at all. Almost 3/4 of his runs were designed runs.

"Before we discuss Jackson’s elite athleticism, make no mistake about his intentions when in the pocket. He’s more than willing to go through multiple reads and he has no problem making plays from the pocket. Jackson is not just running around and vacating pockets, though it’s certainly a part of his game. In fact, 73 percent of Jackson’s rushing yards in college came off designed runs, and only 27 percent came on scrambles."
