Gugny Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Throughout the offseason, Baltimore has been putting Flacco and Jackson on the field at the same time. With Flacco playing quarterback, Jackson has lined up at multiple positions. "Gosh, I sure like him out there helping us," coach John Harbaugh said of Jackson. "If you put two quarterbacks on the field at once, what options does it create for our offense? That's what we're trying to figure out." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23771497/baltimore-ravens-quarterback-lamar-jackson-lining-other-positions-team-practices
Zebrastripes Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I think it's a terrible idea for him to line up at other positions. Yes he is a great athlete but I don't think he has the body type to take the punishment of playing wr or rb. 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Well at least he only needs to remember like 5 plays and they are probably all hot route or take off and run type plays. I think this has disaster written all over it. Just now, Zebrastripes said: I think it's a terrible idea for him to line up at other positions.

I still think he has a chance to be good.
Lfod Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 I like people getting creative. Also respect Lamar playing a role and seeing what it's like to be in the other positions. Earning his right to command of the squad. 1

transient Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Why does Flacco keep throwing the ball high and behind him into traffic? 4 17

I think it's more on how they are training him to see different views of the NFL. Edited June 12, 2018 by Lfod
BuffaloBill Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 The coaches are trying to motivate Flacco. If he sees his competition maybe he will play better. /s

Maybe, but Harbaughs quote has me thinking they want to see him actually play somewhere else in order to try and gain an advantage of having two qbs on the field at once.
Bray Wyatt Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 this is a bad idea because flacco offers no other capabilities in the game other than throwing the ball, now if they had tyrod and lamar maybe it would be harder to determine what was going on

Well probably have some trick plays lined up. It could involve him some in the season. I just don't think it would be to specifically feature him at different positions. I could be wrong.

Augie Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Probably just trying to find ways to get Flacco open in space. Put him out wide and watch him fly down the field like Peyton.....wait...maybe not. 1

The QBs wouldn't know what was going on. The HC and OC obviously wouldn't know what was going on. And the fans in Baltimore would certainly demand to know "What the hell is going on?!?!" 1

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 (edited) Nah, new play dynamic. Centre snaps to QB, he and other QB play 'keep away' from defenders. Tires out the defense. EDIT: It's also the 'counterpunch surprise' to the Bills starting Peterman on opening day. Edited June 12, 2018 by Ridgewaycynic2013

I see it as the Ravens have a mindset of what type of QB they want and what they have. I think it's just the coaches way of teaching Larmar the offense and how to see everything. I mean maybe if you get a feel for what's going on at other positions you memorize what's going all over the field. I think it's them being more serious about a guy they want to groom.

NewEra Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Stupid imo. It may help them win a few more games this year but it also puts him at risk of injury and may stunt is an growth working on different aspects, while he should be becoming the best QB he can be
