Ravens' Opening Drive: A Sack-tastic Start, Not What We Expected
The Ravens opened their season with a bang...a bang of sacks, that is. Lamar Jackson, our electric quarterback, was brought down twice on their first drive, leaving fans wondering if this would be the start of a rough game. It wasn't exactly the explosive start we were hoping for.
The first sack came on a blitz, a nasty play where the defense just overwhelmed the offensive line. The second sack, though, was a bit more frustrating. Jackson had time in the pocket, but the receiver seemed to get lost in coverage, leaving Lamar holding the ball too long.
Now, let's not get too down on the Ravens. It's just one drive, folks. The season is long, and we all know Lamar has the magic to bounce back. But it's definitely something to keep an eye on. Was it a sign of things to come? Or just a blip on the radar?
The Ravens' offensive line has been a bit of a question mark, and this performance certainly didn't quell any concerns. It's clear they need to tighten up their protection. Otherwise, Lamar might be running for his life all season.
Here's the thing: This is just the beginning. We've got 17 more games to watch the Ravens play, and I have faith they'll figure it out. We'll see if the Ravens can overcome these early struggles and put together a winning season.
Remember, though, the first drive doesn't make or break a season. Let's see how the Ravens respond and if they can find their rhythm on offense. The season is just getting started, and there's plenty of time for Lamar to unleash his magic.
