Overview
- Jackson praised Doyle’s creativity and said he expects a jump in big plays after mandatory minicamp concluded Wednesday, noting he has spent extra voluntary time learning new terminology.
- Doyle, 30, is now one of the NFL’s youngest play-callers and this is his first job in which he will call plays despite a prior OC stint with the Chicago Bears.
- Players and coaches describe Doyle’s approach as intense and corrective, with Jackson recounting a public, expletive-filled correction that he took as part of a push for precision.
- The Ravens kept core weapons such as Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews and upgraded the line, and staff hope the new scheme plus personnel will make the offense more unpredictable.
- The change is still unproven in games and the staff expects training camp, preseason snaps and regular-season performance to determine whether the new system restores Baltimore’s elite offense.
