i appreciate you breaking this down and not specifically blaming Roman or Lamar individually. It's pretty clear that both scheme/personel and Lamar each need their own adjustments going into next year.
Great analysis Coach. This simple passing game blows my mind week after week. Its almost as if they don’t practice passing situations in practice. Lamar needs to develop but i dont see how he can with highschool/JV playcalls like this. Another veteran WR may help but these playcalls are predictable
Hey also wanted to include dobbins had a lot of drops and Lamar didn’t trust him as a checkdown option. He would rather get the yards with his legs than throw it to dobbins.If they can get better personal for him he would be more willing to throw the ball you know.
This is a very poor excuse. MVS has been inconsistent as pure shit for the packers but Rodgers still threw his way in the NFC championship game. If Rodgers can do it? Lamar can too
@@impervius8690 Lamar's legs are a viable option over a checkdown, though. He's basically his own checkdown more times than not. I hope he starts throwing actual checkdowns more, though. He leaves easy yards on the table.

Agreed. I am a Ravens fan since day 1 of the franchise. I played a little and 2 of my 3 sons play, one is a QB (D2) and my middle son is entering HS as a receiver. Just a background to say that we all watch the game and call out the passing plays, who it’s going to and even down to the reads. Just as a fan of football, period it’s frustrating to watch. From a fans perspective they have drafted a ton of WR in the past two years that have some talent, and while there isn’t that number 1 alpha, the young guys have skills and if utilized correctly could certainly contribute and if nothing else put pressure on the defense and stop allowing teams to play there safeties ten yards off the ball and play downhill without fear of any receiver running past them. Like you said it’s one read and go. Literally just that simple. The conundrum is that against lesser teams the Ravens are able to get away with it and win most games with the running game. Which they’ve proven winning nearly 90% of Lamar’s regular season starts. But in the playoffs against teams with good defensive talent and good coaching.... It is like watching ground hogs day. You simply know what’s coming. My biggest fear as a fan is that the Ravens draft another WR or bring in one via FA and the team retains Greg Roman. Nothing will change. I actually like him but after San Francisco, Buffalo, and now Baltimore the pattern is conclusive. Brilliant run game play caller, horrible at drawing up a passing game that can compliment his run game. After two years the offense “expired” Time for the Ravens to graduate Lamar and move on from Roman
Hey JT I know you played in the CFL and being a Canadian and a quarterback myself can you possibly break down some of the major differences in playing the position in the CFL. Thank You
Hey man...dude played in the NFL....so that on its own makes him not exactly "suck". He still knows how to break down film...which is what this channel is about. He was never looked at as a starter in the league because of physical skill sets...but attribute that backups are usually chosen on is because they are great in the film room....thats a huge part of a backups job. So I think we can put trust in these videos that he does.
JT, I really appreciate this video, thank you. I'm a huge Ravens fan, and I like to watch the All-22 of the games in my free time during the week. I've only recently stumbled upon your videos on RUclips, and it's been such a great supplement to my film study! It adds a lot to my experience as a fan on Sundays. It's painful to watch my Ravens losing the way that they have. The rushing attack is just so versatile, I've never seen anything like it at an NFL level! Very innovative, and with such a high level of athlete that it's so difficult to stop. But the fact that they cannot throw the ball hurts them so much. I can't for the life of me figure out why play-action and RPOs don't seem to factor into more of their gameplans. Anyway, I'm hoping the Ravens get another IOL (hard to make throws when you're getting pressure in your face all game) and another high-end WR, preferably one that has played in high level passing attacks before. And I hope that Lamar demands more from his offensive coaches -- it is very sad to watch such a talent not being fully developed. Anyway, thanks again JT! Keep up the great work!
@@DefenderOfLogic it was a more pro style offense built in with the zone read. Had to make more progressions/reads in the offense. This is more pass first
Thank you coach from one coach to another! I keep saying this and yes Lamar has to be more consistent but the picture is much bigger than what folks want to admit and this is a team sport not one person is going to win and lose a game.
@@DefenderOfLogic he wasn’t berating him he was trying to get him for probably the 50th time (exaggerated) this season to play situation football. There had been many plays three in this game where Boykin didn’t have field awareness to sit in a zone instead he runs into coverage.
At 28:11 you said stay in the pocket and throw the post it seems like the receiver on the other side is running a go so it kinda seem like that Go would cancel out the post if he doesn’t do what he did and the corner picks that because the post is running right towards him
You did an absolutely amazing job diagnosing and explaining what's wrong with the Raven's offense. Although it was hard to stomach as a Raven's fan it was also informative in a concise, logical and instinctual presentation. Big fan of what you do. Thank you and whatever you do don't stop.
Taking into account what JT said in the first 5 minutes how about Greg Roman's pass-play designs and Lamar Jackson that makes Lamar's MVP season that much more incredible he pretty much did it on his own
Dude YOU do a GREAT job in the break downs if they don't understand HONEST criticism then that's there bad not yours....Keep doing your thing!!! can't wait to see you as a QB coach or coordinator in the NFL.
I've never noticed this, but you pointing out how he is always looking to the other side of where the read is, he is probably trying to deceive players with his eyes right? If it happens all the time I don't think it's a coincidence. Like the play at 16:36 maybe he looks middle to try to draw the Andrews defender and then quickly throw to Andrews, but the defender didn't bite. Then 22:18 the read is to the right, he starts looking to the left, then looks to the right and throws (maybe that's why they got open!).
He has been doing that since his rookie year, that is why his interception count is so low. The real problem the passing game is the lack of rhythm and over-reliance on Lamar to carry the run game. Not saying he would put up ARod numbers if they passed more but he can clearly throw well.
Sometimes I think the ravens coaches just let Lamar Jackson wing it,just relying on his legs nstead of thoroughly teaching him coverages and decision making,don’t know,most of those plays have open receivers for at least low yardage plays man hopefully LJ gets better next season
Yea a lot of them check downs were drops against the bills too. That’s tough but they all gotta get way better to at least apologize to the defense for the past 2 years
Lamars being given a frustrating role to play. He's been obviously told he has to consider running 50% of the time, given his freakish speed, and ability to break it big time once or twice a game. Defenses start to spy for this, and it stops working, eventually. He needs a new start, where he can play confidently, first, as a game manager. Then RPO. Then use the break-one-running scripted play as a last resort. Ravens are becoming to predictable on offense.
This is a well run team. They have one of the lowest cap spending in the league. I was shocked to see that because they are stacked with players, and not even a ton of rookies on low contracts (Except Lamar of course.) Idk how they do it.
Niner fan here. Greg Roman was a garbage OC who had next to zero screen pass plays and no creativity. Some of his run concepts were nice, but that’s about it.
Honestly watching this most of the times he had an open receiver was a short check down at best that could get a few yards, Lamar ran a more sophisticated offense in college lol the ravens need a passing coordinator or just a new one altogether
@Jazzy Jay Jay yep people don't understand he's a capable passer he just needs consistency and a coordinator who will challenge and develop him instead of forcing him to essentially play hero ball because he has no one to throw to
As a Raven fan we are pretty much fed up with Roman. On all the radio shows is all I hear. But I do believe Lamar needs to throw with anticipation but I don't think he trusts the guys he throws to all the time. They need a more creative OC to call plays but it might look like Roman will be back for another year but with a shorter leash.
Thanks Coach! Interested to see how they approach this....love what G Ro does in the run game but coordinating means the ENTIRE offense even down to pass pro etc
Great Breakdown. I will say. On the quads play, I don’t think the TE is a read during the play (Lamar never looks at him) but is a pre-snap read of “Do we like the matchup”. The other side of the play is just slot fade concept with a (maybe) runoff/eye candy (IMO I could see it being a read if there’s split safety coverage and you feel you can drop it over the LBs and in front of the safety). At worst, it occupies the backside safety and you’ve got the slot fade concept. I do agree that an over would be a nice variation especially since they have “Hollywood” who you could put into the Tyreek role, but I do wonder if they don’t trust Lamar with such a read (trying to keep things on one half of the field). Again though. Loved the video.
Appreciate the Unbias In depth break down! there are deeper issues within the Offense. but on the surface great breakdown. DEF need more weapons. BC successful teams have experienced GREAT WRS. cant have a 3rd year QB with no vets!
That's cool ,but I think k Lamar's top priorities are anticipation, seeing the field better, and coaches gotta teach him to read defenses and audible better
Awesome video. I’m still making my way through a lot of them so I dont know if you made this already but if you could go over common defenses you see in the red zone that would make for a great video
Also if we want to about Lamar and his lack of check down timing, then let’s talk about Mekari getting his MVP level QB concussed with JV level center technique. Btw I haven’t heard many non Ravens people speaking that truth 🤦
@Jazzy Jay Jay I wish people would just celebrate Lamar ( Heisman & MVP) like they do Baker Mayfield or Sunshine at Clemson who isn’t even pro yet. But young boy at Clemson is some kind of 🏈 god already and he lost his last game also looked average
@Jazzy Jay Jay nah JT actually love Lamar u gotta be objective n admit that our offense had a poor game JT was saying Lamar was MVP since his game against the Rams when nobody was sold still
Q: What do you think changed between 2019 and 2020? The impression I get is that there were games when Roman had better play calls for specific defenses and where Lamar made more of these plays last year. It seemed like things this year just never really clicked (at least not for entire stretches of time like last year) for either.
It looked like the Bills edge guys were just trying to keep him in the pocket instead of going all out for the pressure. Like, “here’s your pocket, stay in there and beat us from it.”
Don't need the edge to get pressure when the interior pass rush is absolutely crushing the Ravens DL. Edge can just sit and contain. Really poor performance from the Ravens OL, can't be having guys rushing the QB right up the middle.
Man. JT, awhile back(and I’m not even sure what video it was) I got into it with you a little. But I kept watching your stuff and you have taught me allot about QBs and play design and how to read defenses. Just want to say thank you and I fully agree on the Lamar/Roman take. I don’t see any progress from him from last year to this. He has allot of work to do (and needs allot better coaching)
@@TheQBSchool it is going to come in handy when I coach. I played Tight End long long time ago and god blessed me with great hands but no speed. lol. I was decent but our routes were just numbered. So its cool to actually get coaches up on here
They need to hire either lamars Louisville offensive coordinator coach as the ravens offensive of coordinator or they need to hire someone that can give unique plays for this playmaker to do his thing
Some of the plays you break down are spot on..i think wat makes fans mad are the coaches runnin said same play & tellin LJ to look at said route when they were open the 1st time they ran it...communication
JT, Love the breakdown! Few ?’s 1. Do you think Lamar’s anticipation issue is something he can overcome going into year 4? Is that something that’s falls on him or coaching? 2. In soft quarters coverage, are you surprised to not see more quick screen/hitch routes to allow rhythm and RAC? 3. Does Lamar’s ability to run give him easier pass looks as opposed to other pocket style QB’s or are you seeing similar defenses? Thanks, liked/shared and subscribed for more!
i think if they add more rpos and screen passes as long with a new number 1 receiver it could help them a lot. as well as teaching lamar to throw the check down
That very first play looks like a designed pass, jk doesn’t even really appear to go for the ball like he would on a normal option play with a mesh point type of thing. I don’t think there was the option to hand it off there. Just a good blitz, only critique would be picking up the blitz but they don’t really give lamar freedom to change calls at the line
No, you can tell it’s an RPO because the left tackle goes way up the field. He might even have got called as ineligible downfield if Lamar had actually thrown it instead of taking the sack. Some RPOs just struggle vs certain looks/plays, like any running play can if the numbers aren’t favourable
Sometime soon after the season ends, Steve Bisciotti, Eric DeCosta, John Harbaugh, and their CAP specialist, (and Ozzie if he wants to) will all head down to Bisciotti's home in Jupiter, FL for a season debrief. They'll go over everything and come out with a plan for the upcoming season. Everything, and I mean everything, about the organization's performance during the season will be discussed and plans for correction implemented.
JT i have a question completely unrelated to this game. In your opinion what is your top recommendations for specific types of footballs for practice use? My guess is obviously leather football's and I used to have a few duke footballs, but they would wear out every few months. So it was bothersome having to drop $100 for every ball (I also liked it, because it was a bit bigger than hs and ncaa footballs.) I recently bought a few cheap composite football's and it was the biggest waste of my money. It was like trying to throw a sponge or a plastic bag. Are there more convenient price options for specific types of leather footballs out there on amazon or wilson and if so what are your top recommendations?
That's definitely my biggest problem with Lamar. He almost never throws the checkdown. Edit: Lamar is my favorite player on my favorite team, y'all are gonna stop replying like I'm a hater, a racist or whatever the fuck else. Lamar needs to improve his passing, AND he also needs help on offense. Both can be true. I'm wearing something that has to do with the Ravens in like half of the videos on my page lol
Ironically, he’s basically said the same thing himself. Feeling like he needs to do too much during the game when he can do less and keep the drive going.
It was like this last year I don't get why I keep seeing our WR too close together on their routes at least 5 games I see WR run into each other Kurt Warner broke it down on the Ravens passing game he didn't even understand what the Ravens was trying to do but I think this is why G-RO don't last on any team for long
Just wondering, how do you determine if something was a bad playcall? If the coach only has 15(?) seconds before they can't talk anymore, they're making the call based on the defense *during that time*, right? If the defense shifts...I get that there are audibles in that situation (OMAHA), but is it a bad playcall?
You ever thought about the possibility that theirs not a passing attack because they don’t believe Lamar could execute it. Greg would obviously call a different game for example a Josh Allen.
This analysis was what we needed. I figured there was a mix of both, Lamar still growing as a passer and Greg Romans very poor passing concepts. Change is needed badly and we know Lamar isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. So, Greg Roman has to go because the Ravens can not afford to waste this dynamic talent. Getting a bonafide Number 1 receiver would be great😁. Even though the Ravens are notoriously cheap on offense and never get weapons to surround their Qbs. But this has to change because Lamar is too great of a player and needs help schematically and at skill positions.
8:10 You're right. It may be a JV play because its so simple but then again natural pure drop back passers like your Rodgers, Mahomes, Brees, etc. don't need complex play design to move the ball or avoid turnovers. They could probably run a mirrored go/speed out concept several times a drive and still move chains. This was Greg Roman trying to make Lamar something he really isn't. Bills are running simple cover 2 but the corners are holding on to the go routes real heavy. The field side speed out was wide open as expected. That's Lamar's faught.
JT, How much is an NFL team willing to do in order to help the player improve their game? Let's say as a QB I wanted to spend the summer going over film and putting in overtime with the QB coach. Is that something that an organization would do for their players?
@@thewholetruthnothingelse3481 i know that , I’m saying that’s not his fault or Lamar fault that’s the stuff fault for always making him get doubled over the top
What? No idea what you call 6. Palms or two read is more like a read quarters look where the corners are looking inside to break on anything to the flat.
@@TheQBSchool Thanks for replying! Please excuse my ignorance about that, I’m just starting to learn different coverages. It looked like to me they were playing quarters to one side and 2 on the other half, that’s what I was calling 6. Thanks for the teach!
JT. Is Tua gonna be okay next year? Can you break down a film about his rookie year and what his jump to next season might look like....... Build around Tua, new OC........ what to do with #3 pick, some ppl feel like we should look at Fields or Wilson, or use it to add OFF weapons and build around Tua, lastly, with the DeShaun Watson rumors....... what do you think? Can’t wait..... Thanks!
at 37:05 if the RT (Tyre Phillinps) would have block correctly Lamar would have seen Snead and throw it to him. A lot of what I saw here is GRo with very simple passing scheme and bad coaching cause those executions can be coach.The players need to also notice that they're harming Lamar when they dont get open and that tells you that they need to study more and practice veteran skills, like if the route is not going to work move around!! get open!!! help your QB not sit there and wait
The 3rd and forever where he had the open post, could there be any concern that the quarters corner who didn’t replace the safety that drove the crosser could fall off and make a play on it? Not a ravens fan so I have no agenda here, just curious or if he was too far away/eyes were in the backfield too much to make a difference
18:25 False! Underneath to Snead is not open at best we could ask Jackson by time with his legs and look for the dino or the check down. Try to not forget his O line fails here 👍🏽
20:37 I am mad at Lamar Jackson for not throwing it ! He oftentimes doesn't throw to Boykin when #80's wide open ! It's like a mental block. He will often try to force the ball to an unopened Mark Andrews or Marquis Brown.
This is a great breakdown. Shows Lamar does make some misses. But I think it’s still more to do with the play calling. They need to call more passing plays to get him more reps tbh. He can throw the ball
The ravens converted more 3rd downs than the Bills and had more passing yards than them in the first half and the Bills have an electric passing offense.
JT, love your channel. Life long Ravens fan here. Based on what you have seen and your experience. Will Lamar ever “get it”? Proper mechanics and reads? He just turned 24 and is a generational athlete who apparently works really hard. I am hopeful but when the passes are there and he simply won’t take them I have to wonder. If I am DeCosta. I take a chance that he will get there but was curious as to your thoughts. 🤷♂️👍
What I missed for this whole game was real playaction. Watching Lamar operate the passing attack i get the feeling he doesnt trust the structure and playdesigns and tries to squeeze chunk plays out on every snap. kinda like Rodgers in the late days of Mike McCarthy. But without beeing Aaron Rodgers or having Devante Adams.
with the way they call plays, theres really few opportunities for lamar to get in rhythm as a passer, so when he does get chances to pass, many time hes looking for the chunk yardage and not the easy completions, if there are even any easy options to be had on a given play
@@zod548 Thats wholly dependent upon the student. If Jackson is willing to be a student of the game it will help. But if his ego kicks in, it's over for him.
@@DefenderOfLogic Lamar is one of the most humble guys in he NFL and he clearly wants to do whatever he can to get better. But people are asking him to make Lemonade with nothing. The system he is in is HORRIBLE. Even most vet QBs would struggle with what most people are calling "JV play design/schemes" When drafting a QB you are suppose to make it easy on him to help his development, to help him grow. yet it seems like they literally are telling receivers to run random routes with no cohesion. Man plays vs zones...zone plays vs man, how is he suppose to operate at high level when he is staring so far behind because of an incompetent system?
@@DorkJelly You have a point. But your reply leads me to believe you did not watch JT's break down in its entirety. I may be wrong. There were times when Jackson is rushing through his reads and not taking the checkdown. It's better to just take the easy throw and get a few yards and he doesn't do that. For some reason he is not taking the check down throws consistently enough.
The O-line didn't exactly do the most sterling job of giving their QB more time. The progression on his reads has to be something that comes from his coordinator if they're not using line checks. It also looked to me like the Bills abandoned coverage on certain receivers even before Jackson had finished his windup. Lots of people don't like to hear it, but while it may be Roman is unimaginative and obstinate, it also seems, for some reason, he doesn't trust his last few QBs to take on more complicated plays and decision making, assuming he's capable of designing such things for his scheme. There needs to be some discussion of whether this is by necessity, is it an unconscious blind spot, or is it a deliberate part of his thinking.
The interior line was breaking down all night, and all season. It seems where receivers are open Lamar is unable to step into the throws or sometimes can’t even the opportunity to throw the ball
i appreciate you breaking this down and not specifically blaming Roman or Lamar individually. It's pretty clear that both scheme/personel and Lamar each need their own adjustments going into next year.
They need to hire a Passing game coordinator, I doubt he’d settle for this job but if they could get Jim Caldwell it’d be huge for Lamar.
They have one already, but clearly it hasn't worked.
@@AgiDaKinG it's the guy from KC before Mahomes, I think they were poorly ranked when Culley was there too

I imagine having bad design over and over gets frustrating, then when a play works you are more likely to hesitate.

I've never noticed this, but you pointing out how he is always looking to the other side of where the read is, he is probably trying to deceive players with his eyes right? If it happens all the time I don't think it's a coincidence. Like the play at 16:36 maybe he looks middle to try to draw the Andrews defender and then quickly throw to Andrews, but the defender didn't bite. Then 22:18 the read is to the right, he starts looking to the left, then looks to the right and throws (maybe that's why they got open!).
He has been doing that since his rookie year, that is why his interception count is so low. The real problem the passing game is the lack of rhythm and over-reliance on Lamar to carry the run game. Not saying he would put up ARod numbers if they passed more but he can clearly throw well.
Finally. Some delicious(and free) good content.
Coach, I think you made some great points but what about the pressure from the o-line?
Much respect JTO
Fired Greg Roman!Steve Smith said it. all🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes I think the ravens coaches just let Lamar Jackson wing it,just relying on his legs nstead of thoroughly teaching him coverages and decision making,don’t know,most of those plays have open receivers for at least low yardage plays man hopefully LJ gets better next season
Hopefully he gets someone that can teach him man
Lol that's exactly what they are doing.
Yea a lot of them check downs were drops against the bills too. That’s tough but they all gotta get way better to at least apologize to the defense for the past 2 years
@@KingRickyiii that one check down that jk dropped was a game changer
Lamars being given a frustrating role to play. He's been obviously told he has to consider running 50% of the time, given his freakish speed, and ability to break it big time once or twice a game. Defenses start to spy for this, and it stops working, eventually. He needs a new start, where he can play confidently, first, as a game manager. Then RPO. Then use the break-one-running scripted play as a last resort. Ravens are becoming to predictable on offense.
This is a well run team. They have one of the lowest cap spending in the league. I was shocked to see that because they are stacked with players, and not even a ton of rookies on low contracts (Except Lamar of course.) Idk how they do it.
Ozzie and decosta make it happen

Superb look. Thanks
Niner fan here. Greg Roman was a garbage OC who had next to zero screen pass plays and no creativity. Some of his run concepts were nice, but that’s about it.
Honestly watching this most of the times he had an open receiver was a short check down at best that could get a few yards, Lamar ran a more sophisticated offense in college lol the ravens need a passing coordinator or just a new one altogether
@Jazzy Jay Jay yep people don't understand he's a capable passer he just needs consistency and a coordinator who will challenge and develop him instead of forcing him to essentially play hero ball because he has no one to throw to
As a Raven fan we are pretty much fed up with Roman. On all the radio shows is all I hear. But I do believe Lamar needs to throw with anticipation but I don't think he trusts the guys he throws to all the time. They need a more creative OC to call plays but it might look like Roman will be back for another year but with a shorter leash.
@@HimuraBattousai98 Roman runs this stuff cause lamar isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. At Louisville he didn’t run anything complicated lol
Mcsorley is better. Yea he doesn’t have the ceiling, but I think lamar has shown he doesn’t have the IQ.
Thanks Coach! Interested to see how they approach this....love what G Ro does in the run game but coordinating means the ENTIRE offense even down to pass pro etc
Great Breakdown. I will say. On the quads play, I don’t think the TE is a read during the play (Lamar never looks at him) but is a pre-snap read of “Do we like the matchup”. The other side of the play is just slot fade concept with a (maybe) runoff/eye candy (IMO I could see it being a read if there’s split safety coverage and you feel you can drop it over the LBs and in front of the safety). At worst, it occupies the backside safety and you’ve got the slot fade concept. I do agree that an over would be a nice variation especially since they have “Hollywood” who you could put into the Tyreek role, but I do wonder if they don’t trust Lamar with such a read (trying to keep things on one half of the field). Again though. Loved the video.
Appreciate the Unbias In depth break down! there are deeper issues within the Offense. but on the surface great breakdown. DEF need more weapons. BC successful teams have experienced GREAT WRS. cant have a 3rd year QB with no vets!
Great video man! As a Ravens fan, I hope Lamar and the Raven watch this and take notes! Lol
My question is if you can see this what are they telling him in practice is lamar to blame or what’s up
JT would u take the time out to work with Lamar on his mechanics n reads during the off season?
That's cool ,but I think k Lamar's top priorities are anticipation, seeing the field better, and coaches gotta teach him to read defenses and audible better
@@zod548 Lamar's top priority is getting a new OC and an offensive line that can pass block. Then all the other stuff you mentioned.
@@xaviermalcolm8481 facts
@Jazzy Jay Jay lol fr
Awesome video. I’m still making my way through a lot of them so I dont know if you made this already but if you could go over common defenses you see in the red zone that would make for a great video
Also if we want to about Lamar and his lack of check down timing, then let’s talk about Mekari getting his MVP level QB concussed with JV level center technique. Btw I haven’t heard many non Ravens people speaking that truth 🤦
@Jazzy Jay Jay I didn’t know that
@Jazzy Jay Jay I wish people would just celebrate Lamar ( Heisman & MVP) like they do Baker Mayfield or Sunshine at Clemson who isn’t even pro yet. But young boy at Clemson is some kind of 🏈 god already and he lost his last game also looked average
@Jazzy Jay Jay He's not here denying it or backing Lamar up haha
@Jazzy Jay Jay nah JT actually love Lamar u gotta be objective n admit that our offense had a poor game JT was saying Lamar was MVP since his game against the Rams when nobody was sold still
Q: What do you think changed between 2019 and 2020? The impression I get is that there were games when Roman had better play calls for specific defenses and where Lamar made more of these plays last year. It seemed like things this year just never really clicked (at least not for entire stretches of time like last year) for either.
As a bills fan this was the best night I've had since I was like 8 watching football!!!!!!!
Great video 👍
Kurt Warner pointed this stuff out on a segment.
Would love to see your scouting of some of the WRs in this year's draft from a QBs perspective!
Good job! Can you do an assessment of Davis Mills, Stanford QB? thx
It looked like the Bills edge guys were just trying to keep him in the pocket instead of going all out for the pressure. Like, “here’s your pocket, stay in there and beat us from it.”
Exactly because they knew he could not do it. They played him similar in the game from last year.
But they were still gettting consistent pressure from the inside which got of even helped it even more
Don't need the edge to get pressure when the interior pass rush is absolutely crushing the Ravens DL. Edge can just sit and contain. Really poor performance from the Ravens OL, can't be having guys rushing the QB right up the middle.
Didn’t matter what the ends were doing the guards were getting beat consistently
@@jaywilliams4770 lots of pressure from the middle
On the INT the back got out late, but when he did he was in a ton of space and probably could have taken a check-down in for a score.
This is a stressful yet educational video to watch
Appreciate the video JT. Considering creating my own football film channel for the “football dummies”
Great vid man!
Lamar is very coachable. I think it’s both coaching and the Bill’s pressure.
When every pass play is poorly designed it shrinks the margin for error on even the easy plays. Tom Brady spent 15 years making easy wide open throws
Man. JT, awhile back(and I’m not even sure what video it was) I got into it with you a little. But I kept watching your stuff and you have taught me allot about QBs and play design and how to read defenses. Just want to say thank you and I fully agree on the Lamar/Roman take. I don’t see any progress from him from last year to this. He has allot of work to do (and needs allot better coaching)
I appreciate that
@@TheQBSchool it is going to come in handy when I coach. I played Tight End long long time ago and god blessed me with great hands but no speed. lol. I was decent but our routes were just numbered. So its cool to actually get coaches up on here
They need to hire either lamars Louisville offensive coordinator coach as the ravens offensive of coordinator or they need to hire someone that can give unique plays for this playmaker to do his thing
Some of the plays you break down are spot on..i think wat makes fans mad are the coaches runnin said same play & tellin LJ to look at said route when they were open the 1st time they ran it...communication
JT, Love the breakdown! Few ?’s
1. Do you think Lamar’s anticipation issue is something he can overcome going into year 4? Is that something that’s falls on him or coaching?
2. In soft quarters coverage, are you surprised to not see more quick screen/hitch routes to allow rhythm and RAC?
3. Does Lamar’s ability to run give him easier pass looks as opposed to other pocket style QB’s or are you seeing similar defenses?
Thanks, liked/shared and subscribed for more!
i think if they add more rpos and screen passes as long with a new number 1 receiver it could help them a lot. as well as teaching lamar to throw the check down
good stuff
Have you considered to be a OC or a least a QB coach JT?
Short quick passes were open all game and you could tell when Huntley came into the game
That very first play looks like a designed pass, jk doesn’t even really appear to go for the ball like he would on a normal option play with a mesh point type of thing. I don’t think there was the option to hand it off there. Just a good blitz, only critique would be picking up the blitz but they don’t really give lamar freedom to change calls at the line
No, you can tell it’s an RPO because the left tackle goes way up the field. He might even have got called as ineligible downfield if Lamar had actually thrown it instead of taking the sack. Some RPOs just struggle vs certain looks/plays, like any running play can if the numbers aren’t favourable
Sometime soon after the season ends, Steve Bisciotti, Eric DeCosta, John Harbaugh, and their CAP specialist, (and Ozzie if he wants to) will all head down to Bisciotti's home in Jupiter, FL for a season debrief. They'll go over everything and come out with a plan for the upcoming season. Everything, and I mean everything, about the organization's performance during the season will be discussed and plans for correction implemented.
JT. Any chance you can evaluate Kellen Mond, Texas A&M?
I’m sure I will at some point.
So... how do we bully the Ravens Organization into firing Greg Roman?
please let me know!
JT i have a question completely unrelated to this game. In your opinion what is your top recommendations for specific types of footballs for practice use? My guess is obviously leather football's and I used to have a few duke footballs, but they would wear out every few months. So it was bothersome having to drop $100 for every ball (I also liked it, because it was a bit bigger than hs and ncaa footballs.) I recently bought a few cheap composite football's and it was the biggest waste of my money. It was like trying to throw a sponge or a plastic bag. Are there more convenient price options for specific types of leather footballs out there on amazon or wilson and if so what are your top recommendations?
I'm not a fan if it has a barcode on it. I prefer wilson.
Noti Gang!
That's definitely my biggest problem with Lamar. He almost never throws the checkdown.
Edit: Lamar is my favorite player on my favorite team, y'all are gonna stop replying like I'm a hater, a racist or whatever the fuck else. Lamar needs to improve his passing, AND he also needs help on offense. Both can be true. I'm wearing something that has to do with the Ravens in like half of the videos on my page lol
It’s definitely an issue and something that needs to be emphasized in the offseason. Makes your life so much easier to just dump the ball to the back.
@@Deuce1042 so much easier. Not to mention it'd save him from some punishment. I'd rather our 225lb+ backs take the hit instead of him.
This is a fair criticism he has to trust the check down
Ironically, he’s basically said the same thing himself. Feeling like he needs to do too much during the game when he can do less and keep the drive going.
Well what do you expect. He doesn't trust the guys enough to throw it. They're not consistent catchers
Where do you get the film for these videos?
Wondering what your thoughts are on Baltimore’s passing game a few games into the 2021 Season…
They are looking different! 😏
It was like this last year I don't get why I keep seeing our WR too close together on their routes at least 5 games I see WR run into each other Kurt Warner broke it down on the Ravens passing game he didn't even understand what the Ravens was trying to do but I think this is why G-RO don't last on any team for long
Will be interesting to see what the Bills do for coverage vs KC.
Just wondering, how do you determine if something was a bad playcall? If the coach only has 15(?) seconds before they can't talk anymore, they're making the call based on the defense *during that time*, right? If the defense shifts...I get that there are audibles in that situation (OMAHA), but is it a bad playcall?
Can you do an analysis on Cam and New England? Is Can Cam still play?
prob at some point in offseason
Roman needs to be a co-coordinator with someone else who can actually create a passing attack
You ever thought about the possibility that theirs not a passing attack because they don’t believe Lamar could execute it.
Greg would obviously call a different game for example a Josh Allen.
@@mrking1785 when he was the bills was josh allen having this type of season
@@Emmanny He never got to be his OC. He was gone by 2018.
@@mrking1785 yeah because Roman has been such a good pass play caller before he played with Lamar🥴
This analysis was what we needed. I figured there was a mix of both, Lamar still growing as a passer and Greg Romans very poor passing concepts. Change is needed badly and we know Lamar isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. So, Greg Roman has to go because the Ravens can not afford to waste this dynamic talent. Getting a bonafide Number 1 receiver would be great😁. Even though the Ravens are notoriously cheap on offense and never get weapons to surround their Qbs. But this has to change because Lamar is too great of a player and needs help schematically and at skill positions.
8:10 You're right. It may be a JV play because its so simple but then again natural pure drop back passers like your Rodgers, Mahomes, Brees, etc. don't need complex play design to move the ball or avoid turnovers. They could probably run a mirrored go/speed out concept several times a drive and still move chains. This was Greg Roman trying to make Lamar something he really isn't. Bills are running simple cover 2 but the corners are holding on to the go routes real heavy. The field side speed out was wide open as expected. That's Lamar's faught.
JT, How much is an NFL team willing to do in order to help the player improve their game? Let's say as a QB I wanted to spend the summer going over film and putting in overtime with the QB coach. Is that something that an organization would do for their players?
Everything legal
Post over the top is not there for tiny Hollywood.

@@plugcap2604oh I see what you say now. Facts
Is Palms coverage like a Cover 2 Invert variant or more like Cover 6?
What? No idea what you call 6.
Palms or two read is more like a read quarters look where the corners are looking inside to break on anything to the flat.
@@TheQBSchool Thanks for replying! Please excuse my ignorance about that, I’m just starting to learn different coverages. It looked like to me they were playing quarters to one side and 2 on the other half, that’s what I was calling 6. Thanks for the teach!
Got a good corse you might like.
At 7:45, that's a TD he throws that ball.
JT. Is Tua gonna be okay next year?
Can you break down a film about his rookie year and what his jump to next season might look like....... Build around Tua, new OC........ what to do with #3 pick, some ppl feel like we should look at Fields or Wilson, or use it to add OFF weapons and build around Tua, lastly, with the DeShaun Watson rumors....... what do you think? Can’t wait..... Thanks!
at 37:05 if the RT (Tyre Phillinps) would have block correctly Lamar would have seen Snead and throw it to him. A lot of what I saw here is GRo with very simple passing scheme and bad coaching cause those executions can be coach.The players need to also notice that they're harming Lamar when they dont get open and that tells you that they need to study more and practice veteran skills, like if the route is not going to work move around!! get open!!! help your QB not sit there and wait
The 3rd and forever where he had the open post, could there be any concern that the quarters corner who didn’t replace the safety that drove the crosser could fall off and make a play on it? Not a ravens fan so I have no agenda here, just curious or if he was too far away/eyes were in the backfield too much to make a difference
Don't i say that?
JT, I think we need a video on what happened to Drew Brees in ‘potentially’ the final game of his career... as always Thanks for the great videos!
18:25 False! Underneath to Snead is not open at best we could ask Jackson by time with his legs and look for the dino or the check down. Try to not forget his O line fails here 👍🏽
False. Lol Joe Ho is bringing the comedy.
20:37 I am mad at Lamar Jackson for not throwing it !
He oftentimes doesn't throw to Boykin when #80's wide open !
It's like a mental block. He will often try to force the ball to an unopened Mark Andrews or Marquis Brown.
This is a great breakdown. Shows Lamar does make some misses. But I think it’s still more to do with the play calling. They need to call more passing plays to get him more reps tbh. He can throw the ball
First play Lamar is clearly looking at boykin for the hot route. Thats Boykins fault for not reading it and continue down the field.
I though same. Shouldve hooked after seeing cb n Will blitz. But cpaches have their scheme so who knows.
The ravens passing attack? There is none
The ravens converted more 3rd downs than the Bills and had more passing yards than them in the first half and the Bills have an electric passing offense.
They got a good QB
Do you think Romans has to go? Or can the Ravens build upon what they have currently?
JT, love your channel. Life long Ravens fan here. Based on what you have seen and your experience. Will Lamar ever “get it”? Proper mechanics and reads? He just turned 24 and is a generational athlete who apparently works really hard. I am hopeful but when the passes are there and he simply won’t take them I have to wonder. If I am DeCosta. I take a chance that he will get there but was curious as to your thoughts. 🤷♂️👍
What I missed for this whole game was real playaction.
Watching Lamar operate the passing attack i get the feeling he doesnt trust the structure and playdesigns and tries to squeeze chunk plays out on every snap. kinda like Rodgers in the late days of Mike McCarthy. But without beeing Aaron Rodgers or having Devante Adams.
I honestly agree
with the way they call plays, theres really few opportunities for lamar to get in rhythm as a passer, so when he does get chances to pass, many time hes looking for the chunk yardage and not the easy completions, if there are even any easy options to be had on a given play
Josh Allen worked with Tony Romo in the off season and had a big jump in his passing game. Lamar Jackson needs to do the same.
I heard Mike Vick saying he was gonna work with Lamar this off-season, don't know how much that would help though
@@zod548 Thats wholly dependent upon the student. If Jackson is willing to be a student of the game it will help. But if his ego kicks in, it's over for him.
@@DefenderOfLogic good point
@@DefenderOfLogic Lamar is one of the most humble guys in he NFL and he clearly wants to do whatever he can to get better. But people are asking him to make Lemonade with nothing. The system he is in is HORRIBLE. Even most vet QBs would struggle with what most people are calling "JV play design/schemes"
When drafting a QB you are suppose to make it easy on him to help his development, to help him grow. yet it seems like they literally are telling receivers to run random routes with no cohesion. Man plays vs zones...zone plays vs man, how is he suppose to operate at high level when he is staring so far behind because of an incompetent system?
@@DorkJelly You have a point. But your reply leads me to believe you did not watch JT's break down in its entirety. I may be wrong.
There were times when Jackson is rushing through his reads and not taking the checkdown. It's better to just take the easy throw and get a few yards and he doesn't do that. For some reason he is not taking the check down throws consistently enough.
Omg bro! Gd video.
The O-line didn't exactly do the most sterling job of giving their QB more time. The progression on his reads has to be something that comes from his coordinator if they're not using line checks. It also looked to me like the Bills abandoned coverage on certain receivers even before Jackson had finished his windup. Lots of people don't like to hear it, but while it may be Roman is unimaginative and obstinate, it also seems, for some reason, he doesn't trust his last few QBs to take on more complicated plays and decision making, assuming he's capable of designing such things for his scheme. There needs to be some discussion of whether this is by necessity, is it an unconscious blind spot, or is it a deliberate part of his thinking.
One question for you JT, do you believe he should be fired?
What’s the weakness to 3 buzz
Have a whole course on every coverage.
Great video looks like anywhere he threw the ball on that pick 6 it was gonna get picked
The interior line was breaking down all night, and all season. It seems where receivers are open Lamar is unable to step into the throws or sometimes can’t even the opportunity to throw the ball
