Jackson?

I think so.

I think so.

Um, listen, they have the number one running attack in all of football because of him, but they also have the second worst passing attack in all the football because of him.

And if you know, coming into games, particularly against better competition, that you're going to have trouble throwing the foot, he's gonna have trouble throwing the football.

That puts you at a decided advantage as a defense.

They've lost three of their last four games.

I got news for you all.

For their last six games.

He hasn't even completed 60% of his passes.

Let's go down the list here.

He completed 70 51% of his passes against Cincinnati, 59% against Philadelphia.

46% of his passes against Pittsburgh, Okay, and 58% of his passes against Tennessee yesterday.

He doesn't throw the football effectively enough now.

He's not the only one at fault.

If you're John Harbaugh, you've got to get him some additional weapons.

You've gotta from a schematics perspective, you've got to do things.

Ah, little bit better, be a bit more innovative.

As Dan Orlovsky and others said this morning, There's no fear factor other than him running the football.

There's no real fear factor.

And that's not just about him.

That's about Harbor.

And as an aside, by the way, I don't know how the rest of your felt.

But to me, John Harbaugh, you've been in this league for many, many years, your class personified.

You might not have, like, certain things that Tennessee was willing to do at the beginning of the game, going out to midfield but refusing to shake rebels hand at the end of the game.

That was kind of weak.

And the loss.

You didn't have to go there.

I think that was classless on his part.

I'd like to say that, but outside of that, when it comes down to is that I'm looking at a guy like Lamar Jackson.

He's 23 years of age.

Yes, he's got two issues, guys, one is throwing the football.

You know what the other one is?

Your 23 years old?

There's one thing.

Ryan, please help me out here if you can, or if you choose to.

There is one thing for folks toe look atyou and revere you and praise you over your electrifying talent.

But at 23 years of age, even though he might be too young to expect this when you're the quarterback, you've gotta have some leadership ability, meaning being able to galvanize the troops around you.

Obviously, I'm not holding it against him, but so much because he's only 23.

But I need that from my quarterback, and I don't see him as a guy capable of doing that get.

I see his respect they have for him and his greatness.

I see them looking at him and marveling over that.

But in terms of him, being able to get another guy's face is holding folks accountable, making sure that the parts around you are all doing their job.

His youth come shining through to me in that regard.

That's all I have to say about that right now.

I mean, I heard him say that they wanted it more than us.

I think that's pretty much like that's leadership.

He's he's, you know, like that's kind of doing what you're talking about during the game.

Max, I'm not talking about doing, I hear you.

I'm not worried I'm not worried about Lamar Jackson yet, because not all progress is linear.

You know, it's not always just gonna follow a smooth trajectory upward, right?

At the age of 21 he was the most accurate passer in the history of the NFL.

That doesn't mean it's gonna be the case at the age of 23.

And by the way, he got tremendous credit, of course.

But so did Harbaugh.

And so did Greg Roman.

So other in terms of I got you in terms of in terms, but But it's in the context of his career in terms of the offensive schemes they used in everything.

But what I always say about Sean McVeigh and the Rams, right?

If you do this incredible things and you're innovating, it's a parlor trick.

If you can't make adjustments because believe me, the lead the world is going to adjust to you.

The world has adjusted to the Ravens offense, right?

They're not gonna give him anything in the middle of the field.

They're going to try and stop the outside runs.

They're gonna make them, you know, hit on the vertical passing game outside the numbers they're gonna make them do those things, and he's going to have to show the ability not to pull it off, but to do it consistently, which he hasn't yet done.

Now it's on Greg Roman and Jim Harbaugh right to and by the way, we also give Ozzie Newsome tremendous credit, right, because they re made the team and didn't try toe fit a square peg in a round hole.

So so now they have to take the next step.

Now, in Year three, they have to.

Okay, these are the adjustments that are being made now.

We got to adjust back to them, and so does Lamar.

Lamar has to show the ability to throw outside the numbers and down the field with consistency, with accuracy.

Now his offensive line isn't what it was last year.

Right there, being tough, guys have left tired, all that kind of stuff, and and that that plays a part.

And by the way, if he can't do what he needs to do, throwing the ball down the field, then it's on the coaching staff.

Okay, he's not good at that.

How can we manipulate this?

Because there are plenty of quarterbacks that have a hole in their game.

How can we manipulate this in such a way as to bring out the best in?

I mean, you could even win a Super Bowl that way, So I think that it is.

It is fair to say, Let's analyze what's going on.

But given the fact that the league is adjusted and now it's their time to adjust back, this sometimes happens.

And I'm not ready to start panicking on Lamar.
