7. How comfortable does Lamar Jackson look in Todd Monken's scheme?

This is one of the biggest questions and will have implications far beyond this year. On paper, the Baltimore Ravens should win this game. On paper, everyone says that this offense will be better for Lamar Jackson. It is supposed to unleash Jackson as a passer and make him the complete quarterback he can be.

The question is, what if he cannot be that complete quarterback? Or what if it takes him some time to learn the new offense? The Texans' defense is the strength of their roster, and their secondary has some young, up-and-coming talent. The only way that the Texans stay in this game is if Jackson is off and makes a poor read that leads to a turnover or he makes an errant pass down the field.

So, do the Ravens even open things up? Do we see Lamar Jackson dip his toes into the offense? Is that for the better rather than seeing him have to take on too much at first? This should be a different look, and it is worth watching.
