Owner: Lamar Jackson Will Run Less In 2019 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu May 30, 2019 2:27 pm

Steve Bisciotti said on Wednesday night that Lamar Jackson will run less for the Baltimore Ravens this coming season.

During a conference call with season-ticket holders, the owner was asked several questions about the young franchise quarterback. Last season, Jackson set the NFL record for quarterbacks by running 147 times.

\"I think you\'ll be pleasantly surprised that Lamar is not going to be running 20 times a game,\" Bisciotti said. \"That\'s not what this offense is about.\"

When Jackson took over for Joe Flacco, he won six of seven starts to lead the Ravens to their first AFC North title since 2012. He also averaged 17 carries per game.

That is the thing, that is what the offense is all about. Ravens have to run the ball 75% of the time cause Lamar can't throw accurately for an entire game or read defenses. That will be exposed this year.
