Ravens' Offense in Flux: Brissett Takes the Helm
14 Nov
Summary
- Jacoby Brissett assumes QB role for Ravens due to injuries.
- Tom Brady believes Brissett has the necessary skills.
- Brissett must quickly learn playbook to help struggling offense.
The Baltimore Ravens have signed veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett to address their offensive struggles and injury woes. With Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley sidelined, Brissett, aged 33, takes over starting Monday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Ravens' offense has been stagnant, averaging just 11.5 points per game in their last four outings, a situation that necessitated swift action from the front office.
Despite the steep learning curve of mastering a new playbook in days, Brissett brings valuable experience to the team. His seven teams and 73 starts, including challenging situations, suggest he can handle pressure. Head coach Jesse Minter noted Brissett's commanding presence and dedication, anticipating a positive impact on the team's operation and a reduction in costly penalties.
Tom Brady, who played with Brissett on the New England Patriots, acknowledged the difficulty of the quarterback position. However, Brady praised Brissett's physical tools, including his toughness, accurate passing, strong arm, and athleticism. Brady emphasized that Brissett's success hinges on his speed in understanding the offense, his reads, and developing chemistry with receivers.
