To start the 2018 regular season, Marty Morhinweg was the offensive coordinator and Joe Flacco was the starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson took over quarterback duties following an injury to Flacco’s hip. The results could be described many ways: electric, exciting. . . but also erratic.
Baltimore deployed a service academy style run game using option runs, play action passes and RPO’s at will. Jackson’s drop back passing game wasn’t consistently sharp. There were missed throws on screens and other quick/short/timing throws. Jackson also made throws that inspired confidence in his future prospects as a franchise quarterback, while clearly lacking consistency.
