The Las Vegas Raiders are set to host the Baltimore Ravens for the season opener on Monday Night Football. To preview the matchup, Kyle Barber of Baltimore Beatdown was kind enough to answer five questions I have going into the game.
1) We’ll start with a nice, easy softball question, how do you stop Lamar Jackson? Is there you’ve noticed that other defenses have done in the past that have given him trouble?
Stopping Lamar Jackson takes an entire defensive effort executing their assignment for 60 minutes. We’ve seen it done in the past with the Los Angeles Chargers using dime packages and faster players to cover the edges to contain Jackson but it’s far easier said than done.
