Ravens News 8/6: Taking fewer sacks and more

3) Take fewer sacks

Jackson took sacks on 5.4 percent of his dropbacks last season, which isn’t an awful rate. It was 14th lowest among quarterbacks with at least 50 pass attempts in 2019.

Keep in mind, however, that Jackson is one of the shiftiest, most athletic players to ever take snaps as a quarterback in an NFL game and that the Ravens sent three offensive lineman to the Pro Bowl in January. There’s reason to believe defenses should sack Jackson less frequently than they sack Tom Brady, Jared Goff or Drew Brees, but that wasn’t the case last season.
