Overview
- The Ravens hired 30-year-old Declan Doyle as their offensive coordinator and he enters the role as a first-time NFL play-caller with growing organizational support.
- Lamar Jackson has praised Doyle's creativity and spent extra voluntary workout time this spring to learn the new terminology and concepts.
- Minicamp reporting on Monday, June 22 showed Doyle enforcing stricter standards in practice, including publicly correcting Jackson and sending veterans to the sideline for penalties.
- The biggest on-field questions are timing, Jackson's command of protections and checks, and center-to-quarterback chemistry, all of which will be decided by training camp and preseason game reps.
- Baltimore's strong offensive roster gives Doyle resources to succeed and if Jackson masters the system early the unit could move from promising to a true AFC contender, while slow adoption could create early growing pains for players and coaches.
