Kyle could make this kid a star, but he's off to a run-first (and second) offense.
Did you see L. Jackson play in college?
Throw it up and let Hollywood do the rest...
I did, but I also saw him play last year. Run, run, drop off to a TE. Repeat.
The offense is just Lamar and the RBs with some misdirection in the backfield, occasionally dumping it off to one of the TEs, and a few speedsters at WR to play decoy and maybe make a big play on the rare instance they call a dedicated pass play.
I like Lamar, but the Ravens didn't try to disguise their desire to run the ball down the opponents' throat. Maybe they change it up after imploding in the playoffs. Ideally, they let Lamar throw a little more to protect him and become less predictable, but if the Ravens go 0-16 I'll be just fine with that too.
Either way, I expect Brown to make some splash plays, but I don't see that offense doing it consistently. They drafted a midget that can't block. That's what he'll be doing on most downs.
I'm just glad Brown didn't go to the Cards. He's a perfect fit for Kliff's offense.
