First‑year offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has thrown a flurry of new plays into the Ravens’ spring work‑out, forcing quarterback Lamar Jackson and the rest of the squad to absorb a fresh scheme. Jackson says he feels his thoughts sync with Doyle’s calls, and Zay Flowers admits the coach’s rapid pace sometimes slows his tongue today.

Doyle, only 29, became the NFL’s youngest offensive coordinator, a fact that drew praise from veteran coach Jesse Minter. In the first months of the offseason, players and assistants alike have lauded his play‑calling acumen, with defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver branding him a “human computer” and Flowers calling him a “genius” for the team again soon.

Doyle’s track record shows he can revive struggling offenses. Last season, as Chicago’s OC, he lifted the Bears from last in total yards to No. 6 in 2025. He now faces a Ravens unit that fell to 16th in yards and 11th in points after years of success, aiming to restore the franchise’s explosive identity again.

Players report Doyle’s emphasis on cadence and motion has already rattled opponents. Weaver notes the defensive side now spends long conversations after practice to counter the shifts, while Flowers praises the new routes that open lanes he never saw before. With the preseason underway, the Ravens look poised to re‑establish themselves as a top‑tier offense.
