It’s been an offseason of significant change for the Ravens and one of their most significant moves has been a home run for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens hired Declan Doyle as their offensive coordinator after naming Jesse Minter as their new head coach and that puts Doyle in position to call offensive plays for the first time in his career. The Ravens have not seen him do that in any games at this point, but Jackson sounded quite confident that Doyle will be successful when asked about his new coach earlier this month.
“It’s a different system than what I’m accustomed to being in, and I feel like there’s going to be a lot of explosiveness this year,” Jackson said, via a transcript from the team. “The way Declan calls plays and his creativity with his mind — how detailed he is — it’s mind-blowing. I’m excited.”
Jackson said that there were more subtle changes when the team previously changed offensive coordinators, but that “nothing really transitioned over from the last system” after Doyle was hired early this year. That’s made for a challenging offseason, albeit one that Jackson believes will result in a high level of offensive execution in the fall.
