I can’t even watch Lamar go down for safety anymore. He really needs to use or learn the QB slide. He slips, sits down, twists his legs,… you always have the feeling the next is going to be the one he gets hurt. It’s very stressful to watch and this can’t go on for much longer.
It’s clear he was taught to go down early instead of taking the hit. But this looks equal dangerous to me.
How you guys think about this after watching it 10 times vs the Bengals?
Did the commentators say something about the slide? He’s slid the same for years but everyone keeps saying his slide looked off and usually when a collective gets an opinion it was usually inspired by commentators.
Flacco has entered the room
Early career Flacco had the most beautiful slide. After his knee injury not so much.
The one where his leg brace broke gave me a panic attack.
If he slid feet first last night he 100% would have sprained something. The field was absolutely ass.
As long as he tucks the ball, he can slide however he likes
It’s not really an issue. And the last thing you want to do is to force a new body movement on a guy mid season that relies so much on natural athleticism. That would be the perfect storm for an injury.
Lamar tweaked his ankle last night as well which nobody is mentioning. He was likely intentionally avoiding hits and falling even more than he normally does.
I know it looks weird to some but this is definitely not something Lamar needs to worry about.
The Ravens need to bring in one of the Orioles coaches to teach Lamar how to slide properly.
QB slides are getting a lot of guys hurt. You may draw a penalty but most guys are waiting too late to slide and the defenders can’t pull up and make head to head contact, and then you’re in the protocol and miss some plays.
