In 2018 Kendarius Webster Jersey Draft , Lamar Jackson only entered the Baltimore Ravens’ starting lineup after veteran quarterback Joe Flacco suffered a hip injury. The first-round draft selection never looked back, however, and ultimately led the club to the postseason which in turn made Baltimore move on from Flacco via trade — handing the keys over to Jackson heading into his second year in the NFL. Seven games into his 2019 season, the decision looks like a good one.Jackson is a big reason why Baltimore has started the campaign 5-2 while fielding the second best scoring offense in all of football: the sophomore quarterback has looked good as a passer (136 of 215, 1,650 yards, 11 touchdowns, 5 interceptions) and is his usual productive self on the ground as well (83 attempts, 576 yards, 3 touchdowns). All in all, Jackson is a true dual-threat quarterback and a tough player to contain.“I’m surprised Jackson has advanced so quickly from his rookie season Kendarius Webster Jersey NFL Jersey , though it’s foolish to not believe in him and his abilities,” said Kyle Barber of Baltimore Beatdown when speaking about the Ravens’ quarterback earlier this week. “He’s now reading the field and searching for the open receiver. He’s trying to throw the football and not break loose on any given down. Honestly, he’s hung in the pocket to a fault, which can be aggravating, knowing he can/should escape and make a play.”“He’s also learned to hang onto the football. Last year, Jackson fumbled 12 times. He’s only fumbled four times this season and two of them were in the pouring rain in Seattle on failed exchanges/bad snaps,” he continued before also pointing out some negatives about Jackson: “He stares down Marquise Brown and Mark Andrews. He knows they’re the best playmakers on the roster and forces passes their way. He doesn’t always go through the reads, even when Chris Moore or Seth Roberts have opened up the field.”Today, Jackson will face arguably the toughest challenge of his young career when going up against a New England Patriots defense that has surrendered just 5.0 points per game and leads the NFL in most statistical categories — a unit that has scored as many touchdowns (four) as it has surrendered. From the Patriots’ perspective, meanwhile, slowing the second-year man down will be the number one priority.“Jackson’s running ability is what you want to eliminate most Kendarius Webster Jersey NFL Draft ,” said Kyle. “That won’t be easy though because you can’t necessarily scheme for his speed, agility and elusiveness. Spy’s won’t work much because he will burn any linebacker on any roster. I’m not saying Jackson can simply waltz past everybody but I think it’s fair to say he’s going to get a first down on their defense at some point when the Patriots shut down all other options. He’s done it in every game thus far.”“I also expect to see both ‘Hollywood’ Brown and Andrews locked up for most of the game,” he continued when speaking about which weapons the Patriots need to prioritize tonight. “Make Jackson beat you with Willie Snead and Seth Roberts. When they’re open, it will be suspect. Coach Belichick knows Jackson wants to air it out their way and we’ll see some clever coverages to try and force a turnover.”Jackson and his pass catching group — led by first-round rookie receiver Brown and outstanding second-year tight end Andrews — are not the only aspect of Baltimore’s offense that can create problems for New England’s outstanding defense: the team also features a running back that has worked well alongside his quarterback and has been quite productive so far in his own right, despite having gained 106 fewer rushing yards.“Mark Ingram has seven rushing touchdowns and 470 rushing yards in seven games. He’s the perfect weapon and complement to Jackson and this offense,” said Kyle about the offseason signing. He named him as one of the non-Jackson players to keep an eye out tonight, alongside another tight end: “Nick Boyle is another name worth mentioning. He’s not going to do much in the passing game but he’s a massive weapon when blocking. He’s an extra guard and he earned a big extension for his blocking skills.”Ultimately, however, the Ravens are still Jackson’s team — and their success is closely tied to his ability to move the football through the air and on the ground. Needless to say that an intriguing challenge awaits New England’s defense, as Kyle also mentioned: “Jackson’s fixed a lot with his game and his offensive coordinator isn’t running him into the ground anymore, but he’s still a 22-year old sophomore quarterback with room to grow and learn.” Tom Brady has won a lot of football games over the course of his legendary career Kendarius Webster Jersey Buffalo Bills Jersey , but hardly ever did he look as dejected after a victory as he did on Sunday. Despite the New England Patriots defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 17-10 and improving to 9-1 on the season, the quarterback was visibly frustrated during his postgame press conference — his answers were short, and after just 1 minute and 40 seconds he was gone from the podium again.Brady had his next media appearance on Monday morning, when he joined WEEI’s The Greg Hill Show, and he did acknowledge his dissatisfaction with the current state of the Patriots’ offensive attack: “It’s just frustration with the offense; we’re trying to grind them out. I’m happy we won on the road, but at the same time, I just wish we’d score more points. We have to figure out how we can fix our problems as best we can.”Against the Eagles, the Patriots gained just 298 yards of offense and scored only one touchdown on a pass that was not thrown by Brady: wide receiver Julian Edelman received a backwards pass from his quarterback, before himself throwing the football down the field for fellow wideout Phillip Dorsett. The score and the ensuing two-point conversion by running back James White ultimately proved to be the difference in the game.Week 11: Patriots vs EaglesPhoto by Jim Davis/The Boston Globe via Getty ImagesPatriots vs Eagles recap: New England starts slowly, but leaves Philadelphia with 17-10 winJulian Edelman provided the spark New England’s offense needed against the Eagles7 winners and 4 losers from the Patriots’ 17-10 win against the EaglesPatriots vs Eagles snap counts: N’Keal Harry plays rotational role in his NFL debutPatriots vs. Eagles: Fan Notes from the GameBut while wins come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and New England was able to take one back home from Philadelphia to stay atop the AFC’s playoff race Color Rush Kendarius Webster Jersey , it is obvious that Brady and the rest of the Patriots offense remain a work in progress 11 weeks into the regular season — something he pointed out on Monday: “As crazy as it sounds, we’re still kind of relatively new; getting familiar with each other on offense,” he said.Brady certainly has a point. Against the Eagles, the Patriots received contributions from a rookie playing in his first NFL game (N’Keal Harry), an in-season trade acquisition (Mohamed Sanu), tight ends who were acquired during the offseason and have only appeared in a combined nine games so far (Benjamin Watson, Matt LaCosse), and a struggling offensive tackle that only joined the team in September (Marshall Newhouse).All the way back to the offseason, the Patriots saw considerable personnel turnover on the offensive side of the ball. Tight end Rob Gronkowski retired, wide receivers Cordarrelle Patterson and Chris Hogan left in free agency, center David Andrews and fullback James Develin were placed on injured reserve Youth Kendarius Webster Jersey , and wide receivers Josh Gordon, Antonio Brown and Demaryius Thomas were added to the team only to be let go again a short time later.“I just wish we would play better offensively. We have to go do it. I don’t think it’s about talking about it. It’s about doing it and trying to get the best we can out of our offense, and seeing if we can be more productive and score more points,” said Brady about the the Patriots’ offense following its game in Philadelphia. The 42-year-old also went on to point out that the unit is the team’s weakest link in its current state.“The strength of our team is our defense and special teams,” Brady said. “So on offense, we just have to take advantage when we get opportunities, understand where our strengths lie and try to play to them. Not giving short fields. Not turning the ball over. Try to take advantage when we get into the red area and score touchdowns. That’s kind of where our offense is, and that’s kind of where our team is.”
