A Closer Look: Lamar/Ravens Deep Passing Game

[YoCo757]

With Brown, Duvernay, and Andrews- I’m happy. Let’s face facts- the Ravens WILL NOT sign a top tier free agent WR. Period. That’s never been their MO. And as far as I’m concerned they don’t need to sign a stud receiver. LJ needs protection more than he needs pass catchers (at least, at this point).

With the likes of Brown, Duvernay, and Andrews do you feel Eric DeCosta has a different vision for the passing game than the coaching staff? These three players had great success in big-12 spread offenses and have shown the ability to be productive in the NFL. The problem we are running into is the fact that Greg Roman has the most anti spread offense in all of football. We are wasting away these players talents.

12. Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens)

Much to my dismay, Lamar Jackson did not make the top 10 in deep accuracy this season.
The reigning MVP was ripped to shreds for his postseason performance against the Chargers last year, and many questioned if he was even a top 30 quarterback. Needless to say, he proved those theories wrong, piecing together a sensational sophomore season onto breaking numerous records.
While a spot at #12 seems like an insult to the league MVP, keep in mind Jackson just turned 23 in January. He has plenty of time to refine his accuracy and has already taken big steps in making himself one of the league’s most dangerous offensive weapons.
(It should be noted that while Jackson was in the top 10 in accuracy out of the shotgun, a large part of that was in the pistol formation, a hybrid of the traditional shotgun offense and under center formations.)
As a deep passer Jackson continues to get better even if he hasn’t cracked the top 10 in accuracy just yet. He was in the top 5 on both throws of 36-40 and 41+ yards, tied for second in accuracy under pressure, fourth against interior pressure, second throwing to his right, and fourth throwing inside tight windows.
Not bad for a running back.

So this one surprises me because it definitely felt like they were missing on the deep ball more often this year than last.

One of my biggest gripes all season was the lack of deep passing attempts.

And once again blame can be shared.

Greg could have more vertical concepts in the passing game.
The protection could have given Lamar more time.
But, there were plenty of vertical routes that were open and Lamar had protection that weren't thrown.
