What makes the Baltimore Ravens' offense so dynamic? Is there any way teams can stop Lamar Jackson? How has this Ravens team been able to improve so much in just one offseason? Four NFL analysts recently joined Glenn Clark Radio to discuss Jackson and the Ravens, and the team now sits as the No. 1 seed in the AFC with a record of 10-2.
Greg Cosell is an NFL analyst for ESPN's "NFL Matchup" show and a senior producer at NFL Films. When breaking down film of Lamar Jackson and this Ravens offense, one thing that stands out to him is their constant use of pre-snap motion.
Cosell views the pre-snap motion as helping Jackson as he continues to grow as a pocket passer; the offense's ability to create misdirection and deception is meant to give Jackson an advantage. By being able to analyze the defense and force the defense into making decisions before the snap, Jackson is able to constantly collect the critical information necessary to manage the offense efficiently.
