He didn't even block him in the back. He just...brushed him.

Holy hell at that Pitt TD.

And then defenses started stifling him because he was never that great of a thrower. It’s eerily similar to Jackson IMO

That's a bad comp. The wildcat was never going to last because there was no passing threat and no QB on the field.

This is a pretty typical read option/RPO offense. Jackson's mobility and ability to throw is what makes it hard to stop. There isn't much in this offense that is unlike what you see all over college. And for as much as people bitch about college offenses, that's where the Chiefs' RPO packages came from, and it's where the spread came from.

If you stack the box to stop the run, he can hit his TE's or Brown deep. If you play a traditional defense, they can run it down your throat. Is it sustainable? Probably not over 10+ years, but it's not a matter of just dusting off schemes to run against the Wing T, which is all the wildcat really was.

Ravens getting ran on pretty good here. Hope we can establish something better in that element moving forward.

Wisniewski may be starting today at OC, FWIW.

Man, Wish our O-line wasn’t so shitty. Be nice to have some sort of a running game.

Jackson's a pretty great runner though. It all depends on coaching. Michael Vick lasted a long time because Reid got ahold of him.

For sure

But cam took on hits and tried to deliver them

Lamar doesn’t run that way

Lamar is as dangerous as Tyreek in the open field

Correct, but the entire league was enamored by it when it was working and that’s what I’m referring to primarily.
