The second-year quarterback is slowly changing how the quarterback position is played, both as a passer and as a runner. His passing numbers are solid, with an Adjusted Net Yards per Pass (ANY/A) of 6.70 (13th in the league) and his QBR of 70.9 is fifth in the league, behind only Dak Prescott, Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson and Deshaun Watson. If you want to talk about more advanced metrics, Jackson’s Expected Points Added per Play (EPA/P) is 0.2, 12th among passers. (Data courtesy of Ben Baldwin from The Athletic Seattle). But when you consider what Jackson brings to the table as a runner, the picture becomes even more formidable. Despite a bye last week, Jackson still is 10th in the league in rushing, with 576 yards under his belt. He averages 82.3 yards per game (edging out Saquon Barkley) which is good for ninth in the league. He is truly a difficult player to defend, and how the Patriots choose to contain him on Sunday night is going to be fascinating to watch. New England employs a 3-2-6 defensive package, using safety Patrick Chung (#23) as a joker-type player, dropping him down into a linebacker’s alignment. Up front they use a 4i-0-3 defensive formation, and they bring Van Noy down over the tight end. Once more, provided the players up front are disciplined, they can stop the run. https://www.patspulpit.com/2019/10/31/20940265/film-room-ravens-patriots-nfl-week-9-lamar-jackson They can stop the run, but can they stop the pass? Can our OL let Brady and the boys do their thing? We'll see NE: 27 BALT: 24 Edited October 31, 2019 by Hunter2_1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBLIII Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I'm intrigued by our defensive gameplan. But it won't prevent Lamar Jackson from picking up crucial 3rd downs with his legs. I'm leaning towards a higher scoring game with the BAL defense having no pass rush us having trouble defending the run. The Patriots will defeat the Ravens by a score of 27-20 to move to 9-0.

This is not your dads ravens defense While we most likely will get Jimmy Smith back, he will also likely only play a few reps. New starters this year is LJ Fort, Josh Bynes, Jihad Ward, Jaylon Ferguson, Chuck Clark and Marcus Peters. The question is how much our defense has gelled and will be prepared for the Patriots offensive scheme. Our big issue will be, that we are quite bad at getting home with our pass rush and creating sacks, so despite your woes at oline, Brady will most likely be able to maneuvre quite a bit in the pocket and pick our defense apart. But any given sunday, etc. etc. etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not your dads ravens defense Well, they're really stout against the run (and obv we can't run), but the secondary is surrendering 8 per play.I'm hoping/expecting to spread it out, hit the middle deep often (they're better on the outside with marlon and peters). We'll need a Brady day, and we SHOULD get one if the OL turns up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not your dads ravens defense While I agree it's not your typical Ravens defense, to say it's one of the worst defenses is a bit of a stretch. They're getting Jimmy Smith back and added Peters. Now, I'm not a fan of Peters at all and his guessing style; however, I am a big fan of Humphrey's game. He's a legit shutdown corner. There secondary is going to look much different Sunday night, but you can run on this defense. Can't wait to see Belichick's game plan for Lamar. I really don't think he's ever had to scheme for a player like Lamar, so I can't wait to see what he draws up. Hopefully we see Harry active for the first time this season too. I feel like that's something no one talks about. Most teams would be dead in the water if they were getting no production from their first round picks. The Patriots essentially haven't the last two seasons and they continue to just chug along. Really speaks to Belichick and the depth of this roster. So pumped for Sunday night.

It has to center all around stopping Jackson. While they have some good pieces (Ingram, Brown, Andrews) their offense really just flows through Lamar. It's a tough task, but that's 100% going to be the gameplan's focus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense was 30th in DVOA Weeks 1-4, but 6th in DVOA Weeks 5-8. It's taken a bit with all the new guys learning to play together and the injuries taking their toll, but some high end play is starting to take shape. That said.....you're completely right in calling this unit a far cry from that of our past Defenses. I think this will be a good "Let's see whats up" game for your Offense and our Defense. Typically, the talking point sides of the ball for our respective clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
