Califan007 The Constipated Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 ProFootballTalkVerified account @ProFootballTalk Ravens worried about Lamar Jackson taking too many hits Ravens worried Lamar Jackson is taking too many hits Posted by Darin Gantt on August 22, 2018, 3:18 PM EDT AP Ravens rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson said he hasn’t “performed at a high level yet.” At the moment, the Ravens are simply worried about him getting leveled. Via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said he’s worried about Jackson taking too many hits, and the fact their first-rounder hasn’t developed the ability or inclination to slide. “Yeah, that’s not good,” Mornhinweg said. “It’s just that simple. . . . “We’d rather get down a step too early than a step too late. As you can see, that’s an ongoing process. Some of it is experience because he needs to have to filter through what he can get away with and what he can’t in this league.” In two preseason games, Jackson has rushed for 72 yards, and Monday against the Colts, he lowered his head while scrambling and flipped over a defensive player. His running was a feature, not a bug, during his college days, when he ran for 3,172 yards and 39 touchdowns his final two seasons. Ravens backup Robert Griffin III knows a thing or two about running too much, and has tried to counsel the rookie. “What I try to tell him mostly is that in this league things happen faster,” Griffin said. “It’s not that he can’t run — he just has to be smart when he does run. He’s going to have to learn some things on his own as he’s out there and he’s working. I think he’ll figure it out pretty quickly, and he’ll still be the dynamic player that he is.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veryoldschool Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Taking too many hits? Having Griffin as a mentor and role model for Jackson? I used to think the Ravens were well run, now mind you I wasn’t playing close attention, but this is a whole lot of stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry.Randolphe Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 RG3 showed flashes of 2012 tonight, but mostly he looked like RG3 in 2014 where he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They expected me to come in with that moniker of RG III. I think I've earned their respect by how I've come out and worked every single day whether I get all the reps or no reps, whether I get no preparation for the game and then I have to play most of the game.

Warhead36 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I mean, he'll probably light up our future truck drivers and bag boys. Doesn't mean anything though. A former 1st round pick should whip 4th stringers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 To keep it 1000, he ran faster than any year since 2012 in that last game. I don't wish him ill but I really hope the Ravens aren't the team that can make Griffin a good QB again ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... especially since it was them and Haloti Ngata's cheap shot that damaged him to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyMalaise Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Yeah, it's apparent he still has poor pocket presence and hesitation in his reads but I was just saying if we "broke" RG3 he seems fully repaired from an athletic standpoint. I was surprised to see him throw on the jets again and look special in that department again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veryoldschool Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 He didn’t get to play tonight. Doesn’t look like the Ravens need a third QB. At least Griffin didn’t get hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Rumor is they didn’t play him because they want him upright so they can trade him. Might make a good backup in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
