The people demanded it! On paper at least, this is the most diverse corps the team has had in quite some time. Can attack all 3 layers of the field. Watkins and Bateman bring a sophistication to route running & coverage exploitation that the team sorely lacked in 2020. #Ravens https://twitter.com/pff/status/1390124155232718849

Now if teams want to play zone vs. Lamar, the low hanging fruit is available in various ways over the middle and to the corners. The routes that widen the safeties & challenge those deeper voids will be easier to attack too. Bateman btw is terrific on the corner route.

Also: Watkins & Bateman have to be taken seriously from a coverage standpoint outside the numbers. If a DC has to start accounting for them outside the numbers, all of a sudden those seam routes are less congested and easier for Andrews to exploit.

Can’t pack in and flood those inside routes the same way. Key will be Jackson’s ability to convert more of those boundary completions.
