Lamar Passing Chart Week 11
Now that's what I'm talking about. Spread the ball vertically as well as horizontally, and suddenly the counting passing stats come around too. A hair over 20% of his throws were 20+ yards, 2/5 for 2 TD. Nearly 1/3 were 15+, 3/7 for 2 TD. All of this to go along with 86 yards on 9 carries in route to an absolute beat down of one of the best teams in the game. With more vertical shots comes a drop in expected completion percentage, but he made up for it by taking what was given to him, completing 14 of 17 under 15 yards for 2 TD.
This is the complete passer that I was worried we wouldn't have this offseason. I'm happy to have been wrong, and this was perhaps the most impressive overall performance of the year when you consider the opponent.
Ever since the bye, this has been some next level improvement. Has Lamar taken yet another step right in front of our eyes? Has the coaching staff completely opened up the offense? Whatever it is, it has made us unquestionably the best team in the league.

Until a team can force Jackson to throw more toward the sidelines, I don’t think this offense will be stopped. That’s not all about Lamar either. We don’t have a legitimate boundary possession WR.

Re: Lamar Passing Chart Week 11
Exactly. NE bogged up the middle to take away the rushing lanes and Lamar exploited the flats. It's easy to just say all of his passes were short quick hitters. Well, maybe, but that's what was open?
I don't know, no one has really forced Lamar to throw outside, but I think that has to do with the scheme."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: Lamar Passing Chart Week 11
Nothing is getting stopped if the run isn't. At this point, you have to take away the run. Period. Take away the run and crowd the middle. Live with everything else. Lamar will get outside of contain a couple of times a game, but make him do it for four quarters when Ingram can't get 8 yards up the A gaps ad nauseam. Make him throw deep all game. If Brown holds up all game and goes off then you live with that.

Re: Lamar Passing Chart Week 11
Part of the reason teams won't be able to stop the run is because of the pass though.
After re-watching NE multiple teams, it really showed how damn hard it is to play defense against the scheme and play calling. Roman is very methodical.
Lamar's worse games as a passer were PIT and CLE. A lot of people said it was because of how much cover 3 they played. You can see on film numerous occasions of Lamar ignoring a shorter open receiver to force something deeper.
He's adjusted very well and is now taking waht's given to him. Teams have a hard time adjusting because he can hit just about anywhere on the field.
It's easy to say "clog the middle and make him throw deep". NE tried and he threw to the flats and short area within L2 to the tune of 74%.
I don't know, I don't realy know how you defend him."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”
