  • I think Lamar is easily under the most pressure because it's not about any of the other games that he's gonna have to play.

  • It's about Steelers.

  • There's about three of the next four games Colts, Titans and Steelers on and and the the easy one is Bill Belichick's Patriots.

  • So I ain't gonna be an easy one, right?

  • Okay, um, we all know Lamar Jackson is a baller.

  • I don't even think that it's an issue.

  • If he has to be a better pocket passer, he does.

  • But I don't think that's what's going on, because when the analysis is, um, well, when he plays the best teams, they make them play from behind and they're not built that way, which is code for saying pocket like, you know, passing the ball.

  • That's not what it's about.

  • Do you think the Ravens haven't beaten a lot of good teams with Lamar?

  • Jackson is a starting quarterback.

  • Let me tell you something against everyone else.

  • He's 24 1 in his career, David.

  • That's not possible.

  • You can't go 24 1 against the NFL.

  • That's insane.

  • And there's plenty of good teams he beat along the way.

  • and all of them knew how to play defense against Lamar Jackson and the three tight end setting all that stuff right there.

  • Orlowski always illustrates.

  • Not like they didn't know.

  • It's not like they weren't good.

  • He beat them all.

  • You know where he lost?

  • I said, 24 1.

  • He's Oh, in six against the Chiefs three times in the regular season.

  • Steelers Now once with Roethlisberger.

  • I'm not counting Steelers with the fourth spring quarter Steelers, Roethlisberger Ravens Steelers rivalry and twice in the playoffs.

  • And I'm sorry throughout any other game against a good team, that's not about being.

  • He's played other good teams.

  • I didn't just list the best teams he's ever played.

  • They're among them.

  • But these are the highest profile games against the teams.

  • You absolutely need to be.

  • If you're Lamar Jackson, it's not about execution.

  • It's in his head.

  • It's about dealing with pressure.

  • I wanna be very clear because I love me some Lamar Jackson.

  • I love the way he talks.

  • I like the way he leads.

  • I like everything about that doesn't mean just because he hasn't done it, he can't do it.

  • Past does not necessarily prologue maybe he could turn it around.

  • We've seen this with other athletes, but at this point, Lamar Jackson's career Make no mistake.

  • I'm calling it right at a certain point with Clayton Kershaw.

  • You said, Damn, Kershaw.

  • I know you're digging Wells in Africa and everything.

  • You're a good dude.

  • I know your regular season may be the best.

  • Whoever did it at a.

  • We have enough evidence now to say you're choking under pressure, brother.

  • What's up?

  • It's not that you could never do it, but you haven't at a certain point with Peyton Manning.

  • We said, Damn, Peyton, you're the goat.

  • In the regular season, you're losing 42.

  • Nothing to the Jets.

  • Don't tell me about your defense.

  • Nothing.

  • The offense scored zero.

  • That's the He was significantly worse when you needed him most.

  • They started earning that reputation.

  • James Harden two, and they turned Peyton Manning won a couple Super Bowls and and Clayton Kershaw won a World Series, and James Harden has done better and better in the playoffs.

  • But right now Lamar Jackson has fallen into that category.

  • Good category to be in.

  • In a way, these great players three against the Chiefs, who you absolutely must be if you're in the FC one against the Steelers, who you absolutely must be if you're the Ravens and two in the playoffs.

  • I thought you would have went more arm talent with that rather than the moments too big for the pressure.

  • Mar.

  • Jack the pressure.

  • The pressure is not on young Lamar Jackson.

  • I'm going in a different direction when we talk about pressure one with Russell Wilson and Russell Wilson.

  • E think if we all had to vote on it right now, Russell Wilson will be the league MVP.

  • There's no question about his stats.

  • He's first in completion percentage.

  • Not me.

  • I take home ahead, okay?

  • You wanna You wanna be that guy?

  • That's fine.

  • If you like 2nd, 2nd place, I tend to like guys Who are you?

  • Okay, Russell Wilson's leading league in touchdown passes.

  • So I mean, listen way, here's here's the deal.

  • The reason that the whole mantra the Let Us Cook is because every team has been cooking the Seattle Seahawks defense.

  • You're talking about maybe the worst defense in the league as faras yards per game, the one of the worst as faras points given up and also when you look at the Seattle Seahawks, they had the league's best best record percentage wise.

  • But guess what?

  • They playing in the division?

  • Not one team in that division has a losing record.

  • You have the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams literally breathing down your throat.

  • Remember, there is on the Cardinals already beat them this one time this season.

  • So for the Seattle Seahawks toe ultimately tryto win the number one seed.

  • Russell Wilson is going to have to continue to play at a N V P type level.

  • Because guess what, He's not gonna have a defense to save him.

  • That defense is gonna be what it ISS at this point in the season.

  • There's no there's no cavalry to come save you.

  • It is what it is, what it is for the Seattle Sea.

  • Listen, Jamal Adams.

  • I understand.

  • Listen, I understand Jamal Adams is coming back.

  • He's a great he's a great player, but I'm telling you right now, even with Jamal Adams coming back, they still have a lot.

  • But Jamal Adams, it's They just get destroyed with there's a tipping point.

  • They don't have to be good.

  • They just have to be good enough.

  • And I think Jamal Adams, superstar if he's on the field.

  • So they have Wagner and Adams at key defensive positions, even if they're not the ones you might want the most.

  • They have superstar players like they're not just okay or good or Pro Bowl players You have arguments were the best of the, But here's the Here's the problem Max you're talking about.

  • If you think bringing Jamal Adams is gonna help them go from basically the basement of the league, too.

  • Miller pack.

  • That's just not not.

  • That's not gonna happen, But they could be up out of the basement.

  • And here's my thing about Russell Wilson.

  • He's answered all the questions.

  • We know he's an all time great.

  • He's a Super Bowl champ.

  • We see what he's doing.

  • Lamar Jackson.

  • Now think about everything I said.

  • 25 20 years.

  • He is 24 1, but oh, in six when you need it most.

  • And what's the oh in 613 against the Chiefs?

  • Owen one against Roethlisberger, Steelers owing to in the playoffs.

  • Listen, think about this for a second.

  • Mark Jackson's gonna have to play the Steelers again with Ben Roethlisberger.

  • And then he's gonna if he advances, is gonna have to play the Chiefs in the playoffs.

  • We're gonna be looking at those two games.

  • If he even gets to the Chiefs in the playoffs, he's gonna if he loses to Ben Roethlisberger Steelers again.

  • They make the playoffs playoffs, and somehow he winds up facing the like.

  • If they advance to the point, he's facing the Chiefs in the playoffs and he loses to Mahomes again.

  • Now I'm gonna come back out and say at this point, he's like 30 and two or something like that against the rest of the league.

  • Oh, and eight.

  • When it matters most, at a certain point, you have to beat your chief rivals.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

I think Lamar is easily under the most pressure because it's not about any of the other games that he's gonna have to play.
