Given recent injuries, along with the ' Evan McPherson Jersey recent change of offensive coordinators, it's been widely expected that Baltimore's quarterback will be asked to rely more on his arm and le s on his legs moving forward.While he didn't exactly say that, new Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken recently acknowledged that Jackson will likely be asked to run le s in Baltimore's new offense. That doesn't mean, however, that arguably the best running quarterback in league history will stop running entirely."I think the more talented you are around your quarterback, the le s he has to take on that burden and shoulder the load, because you're excited about getting others the football where they can utilize their skill set," . "So I think that kind of answers itself."As you get further into your career you want to take some of that off the player as best as you can. But he also has a unique trait, a unique skill set. You can't take that completely out of Trey Hendrickson Jersey his tool box because that's a huge weapon for him and for us, is using his feet." BAL QB #8 CMP%62.3YDs2242TD17INT7YD/Att6.88 As Monken referenced, asking Jackson not to run would be like asking Brett Favre to stop threading the needle during his Hall of Fame career. Like Jackson's running, Favre's risk-taking contributed to a lot of succe s for himself and his teams, especially the late-'90s who played in three straight NFC title games and back-to-back Super Bowls (winning one). There were repercu sions, however Tee Higgins Jersey , with Favre's gunslinger mentality, just as there is with Jackson's running. Favre threw three costly interceptions in three different NFC title games that each contributed to tough lo ses. Jackson has been unable to complete the past two seasons; he mi sed a total of 10 games over that span. The Ravens mi sed the playoffs without Jackson in 2021. They were a quick out in 2022 with Jackson .A fitting historical comparison to Jackson would be Steve Young, who used his legs to score 43 touchdowns with a 5.9 yards-per-carry average during his Hall of Fame career. But as Young got older, he used his legs as a complementary part of his game. In XXIX, Young became the first Samaje Perine Jersey quarterback to lead both teams in rushing in . But what is more remembered from that game is Young throwing a Super Bowl-record six touchdown pa ses in the ' blowout win over the .Based on Monken's comments, it appears that Jackson's arm will be leaned on more moving forward. Monken was careful, however, to not divulge more information on what the Ravens' offense might look like this season. Like Muhammad Ali dodging haymakers in his prime, Monken sidestepped questions about the Ravens po sibly employing an up-tempo, spread-heavy attack. "You'd like to be able to spread the field, use every blade of gra s," he said. "What dictates that? Your ability to function doing that. Having enough players that a defense would Vonn Bell Jersey have to respect using all of that."
