Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been on fire this season and quarterback coach Tee Martin is like kerosene to the flame.

Jackson and Martin have the Ravens ranking No. 9 in the NFL in pass yards per game through five weeks. Accredit their “groove” (chemistry) to endless hours spent building camaraderie and studying film during practice sessions at the Under Armour Performance Center in Owing Mills, MD.
Ravens QB coach Tee Martin grins when asked about Lamar Jackson’s smack talk to the D. He’s been there before, too, as a former QB.

What’s been most impressive about Jackson this season is how quickly he is making reads and releasing the ball. Martin has helped Jackson on anticipatory throws, encouraging him to let it rip sooner on 3-step drops.
Jackson has already totaled nine touchdowns this season and he’ll be looking to add a few more versus the Washington Commanders. Without a doubt, Jackson and Coach Martin are locked in, ready to get their fourth straight win in week 6.
The Commanders are allowing just 198 pass yards per game this season, but they haven’t faced a quarterback with the caliber of Jackson. Well at least until Sunday.
