The amount of rushing yards is alarming, but if Jackson was in the league for 5 years and did this, it'd be a bigger deal.
Having tape on a guy is so important.
Not to be a stickler, but we gave up 403 yards and a 50% 3rd down conversion rate. Both are bad numbers, but sure it's better than the record-setting pace we were on. I'd say 265 rush yards is still a pretty huge deal. It's not like it wasn't painfully obvious that the Ravens would be running Lamar (and their RB) a LOT. Word was that he's really green as a passer, so we had to know going in.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
