The New Orleans Saints and Baltimore ravens don't play each other often. In fact, the last time they did, Joe Flacco was the quarterback, and Lamar Jackson was coming off of the bench.
The Ravens are now one of the best teams in the league and are always in contention. That is, as long as former NFL MVP Lamar Jackson is under center.
The Saints will have their hands full with Jackson, who is as tough as it comes in terms of mobile quarterbacks.
"First of all, there are mobile quarterbacks, then there is Lamar Jackson," defensive end Cam Jordan said as he opened his presser. "I think you put him in a different bracket. You could probably say Jalen [Hurts] is similarly as fast but, you are not going to meet too many quarterbacks that run like Lamar does."
You're not. And, I wouldn't even say Hurts is similar in his speed. Hurts is fast, but he uses his strength more than elusiveness like Jackson does.
This Monday will be hell for the defense. You can't really stop him, you can only hope to contain him because he can do it so many different ways.
"Didn't he break all of Mike Vicks' records? If you look at what he is able to do through the air, and on the ground, I think that you know he is explosive in everything he does, and there is a reason why he was the NFL MVP. I think that everything their team has formed, to go from a Joe Flacco to a Lamar-catered offense, has clearly worked out for them," Jordan said.
Jackson is the true definition of a dual threat. We all know about his running game, and how he is basically a running back that can throw very well.
And don't let the hate on his arm fool you. Jackson's arm has gotten much better, and he is a threat when playing that way. Just this year he has made some insane throws.
The Saints will have a tough battle ahead, but if they can keep Jackson from doing whatever he wants, they will be alright.
