 One thing that we are big advocates for, always have been and always will be is growth. There's personal growth, there's financial growth, there's growth in your workplace, growth spiritually, just growth period. It's always good when you can grow because when you grow that means you get better, you get more advanced, you learn from the past and you get better for the future. But when it came to Lamar Jackson, we knew because we talked about it a lot. We knew that the Ravens had not maximized Lamar Jackson. They had not maximized his growth. And it's something that I said a lot of y'all that have been around for a while, y'all may remember this. I said that I was scared for Lamar Jackson if he stayed with the Ravens because I was scared that with the philosophy and the way that they did things that they would not be maximizing his potential. And I felt like he would never reach his true potential if he stayed with the Baltimore Ravens. And they kept doing things the way that they had been doing. But this offseason has seemed like a lot of the philosophy changed. They got a new offensive coordinator. They really invested in receivers in more ways than one and they have continued to do it up to the most recent signing with Laquan Treadwell. And again, like we always say, he may not have been the best throughout his career thus far. But again, if you keep adding quality and you keep adding quality depth, then your worst guy is a lot better. Your worst guy with quotation marks. But anyway, with Lamar Jackson specifically, I knew that he had been restricted with the offense. I knew that it had been a limited offense, but I know it was this bad. I did not know it was this bad. But hopefully with the changes that the Ravens have made, they can really allow him to grow as a professional. Because after reading this article, it's almost scary how limited it was. But let's get to it. Jamison Hensley put this article out yesterday. And the title of it is You Become the Coordinator. Ravens giving Lamar Jackson more freedom to Audible. And when it comes to Audible, y'all know that's been a conversation amongst Ravens fans for a while about Lamar Jackson having more control of the offense. They're being more flow to offense. And just let's just get to the article says the Ravens changed how they ran their offense against the Miami Dolphins in week two last season to get a better read on Miami's pressure package. The Ravens scrapped the huddle and allowed quarterback Lamar Jackson to make the calls at the line of scrimmage. And if you all remember how that game went, well, offense wise, Ravens put up a lot of points. They really did. They went off. But anyway, continuing, it says Jackson ran for 119 yards and a touchdown and threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns and a 42 to 38 loss to the Dolphins. But that wasn't the lasting impression. Ravens quarterback coach T. Martin remembers Jackson being extremely comfortable in gaining this increased freedom. I just saw the expression on his face when he came off the field. Martin said he was in a good place. Now see what these dolphins games dolphins games because those are personal because that's they South Florida Lamar from South Florida. But anyway, the dolphins game dolphins games are like benchmarks in Lamar Jackson's career. Because obviously his very first start, his first start in the beginning of a season, his first start, his first week, one start came against the Miami Dolphins. We are I remember 2019. Oh, it was just amazing being there to see in that live and praising. But first start as a four time starter, week one, five touchdowns against Miami Dolphins in the dolphins. Yeah, he did that. But then a couple years back against the Miami Dolphins and being there in person. Yikes, that was rough. But if that study is Miami Dolphins in Miami, it was rough. It was rough. That was the infamous blitz game. Everybody talk about the cut the zero blitz, zero blitz, this there was that. So everybody in the world, I started to learn what a zero blitz was. And that's when everybody Oh, yo, the ball Jackson figured out this that. So then last year, against the Miami Dolphins again, when he plays with dolphins, they always be games in his group. But anyway, continuing Jackson will have the opportunity to get back to that good place on the new offensive coordinator Todd Monke. Now he goes a scary part right here. Because let's just read it in four seasons with offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, Baltimore primarily huddled up and ran the play that was called. Meaning Greg was like, A, you got play A. And I believe I've heard before that he was given like two plays. And that was it. You either choose playing play A or play B. But this is same in four seasons with offensive coordinator Greg Roman by Baltimore primarily huddled up and ran the play that was called. So meaning a whatever we call that's what we are usually going to be running. We don't care what the defense looking like. We don't care what D line doing if they shift into the left shift into the right. We don't care if it looks like somebody blitzing or not. We don't care if they play in press coverage or they backing off. The play that we were running is most likely the play that we call in is most likely to play that we running. That's scary. That's scary. Because that just limits your quarterback that limits your running back. The limits your receivers that limits your offense. But get this even before we continue the Ravens offense limited. They still had a lot of success over the years. So this is why we are such advocates for growth. Because it's like if they had success over the year. Now situationally, we know, but they've had a lot of success over the years. They scored a lot of points. But if they did that in a limited offense, in a limited offense, just imagine what they could do. You take the shackles off, man. Take the reins off of this thing. Just let them free, man. Anyway, let's just start it over. In four seasons with offensive coordinator Greg Roman Baltimore primarily huddled up and ran the play that was called. Under Munkin, Jackson can slide the pass protection to one side if he sees a defender blitzing or switcher receivers route if the cornerback lines up a certain way. So that's freedom right there. That's freedom. So it's just such a good move. It's something that needed to have been done years ago. But the fact that it's being done that like, see with the Ravens, this has been a thing that's offseason there. With the move that they've made, with the way that they really changed stuff, this is something that we've been asking for for years. Add more plural to that. I know with the essence plural, but add even more. We've been asking for this stuff for years. Been asking them to move like this for years. We've been asking them to go about stuff like this for years. And they haven't. Because one thing with Baltimore Ravens that they have been is loyal to a fault. Loyal to the way that they've done things to a fault. They can be loyal to certain coaches and coordinators to a fault. When it's time to move on from certain things, certain players, certain coaches, certain coordinators, certain this, that philosophy, they have been loyal to a fault. Because I get Ravens all about loyalty. Trust me. I get it. I love loyalty. Loyalty is good. But you also got to be smart, especially when it's about your business. So you got to know when to move on. You got to know when to move on. You got to do what's best for business. And there were a lot of things that they were doing that just weren't best for business. And it's like with the Ravens, the way that they have been going about stuff, they didn't just limit Lamar Jackson. They didn't just limit their offense. They limited their team. They limited their team success. They limited their franchise, in my opinion. But now the way that they've moved this offseason and show like, okay, we finally going to get with the times. We finally going to catch up. And I love it. That's what I've been loving it. I've been loving the way that they've been moving, man. Loving it. It's still a shock right now to this day, man. It's still a shock. I'm still like, man, this is my, this is, this is my favorite. Raven, this is my team right here. This is them. I love it. So anyway, continuing. Said Coach Monkham is basically giving us the keys to the offense, really, Jackson said, and I'm loving it. Now it goes another scary part. This is very, very scary right here, man. All right, here we go. Said in his first, in his four full seasons of starting quarterback, Lamar Jackson totaled 32 no huddle plays, which ranked 32nd in the NFL with a span 32 no huddle plays 32. That's scary bad, man. And that is the exact opposite of the saying that Mark Ingram came up with. Big trust. That's not even baby trust. That's no trust. 32 no huddle plays. That's again, that's something else that we have been talking about for years, doing more of the up tempo offense, more fast paced offense, more no huddle offense. Now, again, and we said this before too, nobody's asking it to be Chip Kelly style. Like me, y'all remember Chip Kelly offense with the Eagles, I think when they were no huddle every single play and it was like crazy because while yeah, your offense is moving faster whatnot, but if it doesn't work, like that the opposing team often gets the ball back like that. And they got a lot of time, man. So, but what we were just saying with that with the Ravens offense, do more of that. It ain't got to be every play. It ain't got to be every down. It ain't got to be every possession, but just incorporate it more here and there because it can add some life to your offense. It can pick it up. And with the no huddle offense is obviously would be giving Lamar Jackson a lot more control. And it just seemed like they didn't want to give Lamar Jackson a lot more control. So that's a scary stat, though. And then this is this is probably the worst part about it. Said he had success completing 70.5% of his throws when not huddling. So it'd be one thing if it's like, All right, Lamar, every every time that you go no huddle, oh man, you do a terrible job. You don't do good. Every time you go no huddle, it doesn't look good. It doesn't help our team. We always end up missing nothing. No, it's not good. But the numbers say otherwise. The numbers say otherwise. So again, love love love this offseason love the way that it's been going. But this is stuff that should have happened years ago, years ago, but better late than ever, right? But never late is better. Tell me time is money. So it's been a together. Shout out to Drake. Anyway, we've been in that world before, but not to this degree. Coach Harbaugh said, to me, the offense starts in that world more than it did before. And I'm excited about that. And I know Lamar's excited about it. There's something that again, they should have been excited about this. They should have been thinking about this years ago, years ago, like you got such a special quarterback, you didn't maximize them. They should have been doing this stuff years ago. But anyway, continuing. And then another thing too, like if you would have done this years ago, like you could have really saw who Lamar was. Because I feel like Lamar's been great. Lamar's been a phenomenal so far. And I feel like he's gonna get even better, but he could have been even better before. If the Ravens would have really done more for him offensive wise, let him open it up offensive wise. If the Ravens would have invested more in the receivers, that would have opened stuff up too. And anyway, continuing. He said, I think you saw the communication is probably better than what you saw last week. So we just got to keep building on it. And then he's just talking about some other stuff with the contract and whatnot. But the gist of it, y'all got the gist of it. And I'll link the link to the article down below in the description. But this is it's just big, man. It's so significant. And I love that the Ravens are here now. So yeah, took a little while. They were moving a little slow. But yeah, they they're here now. So we're very grateful for that. But anyway, team keeping clean. I am very grateful for y'all. I appreciate y'all. Today, today is a very special day. Shout out to Tom grassy grassy posse. Because I believe today is the day that the video will be dropping for Tom grass where he hit up Baltimore. So that'll be fun to watch fun to see how that goes. So y'all look out for that. And I'll share it with all of y'all too. And then again, like I said, I will I'll give my personal experience to how that was. But I'm really excited to see it. I'm really excited for y'all to see it. But like I said, I'll give my personal experience to how that whole day went. Because it was crazy. It's real crazy. But in a good way, it was crazy good. Like he says, chaotic good. But anyway, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all so much team keeping clean. And like the Ravens old ways are, at least they better be. We out.
