OTA's begin

Yeah people see things like, run less and think that means 35-40 passes per game. That would be wrong. It means less called quarterback runs, same amount of passes, 27 -30, but more importantly, better route combinations, which means, if Lamar is as accurate as say 2019, = more first downs, clock running, more scoring.

Sure, there will still be some called qb runs, he will also have to scramble from the pocket, but this offense should run smoother he should be healthier, key word, should.

I'm putting my money on Monken.

Lamar needs to actually read the D and understand whats coming.  He also needs to go through his progressions and get the open man.  Until such time as I see that done well its all a song and dance.

The Baltimore Ravens parted ways with now-former offensive coordinator Greg Roman following the 2022 season in hopes of finding more consistent success on that side of the ball. They hired Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken to take over, and so far the move is already paying dividends.

Following his first practice at Baltimore’s voluntary organized team activities, Jackson was asked about how active and talkative Monken has been while teaching and installing the new offense. Jackson said that Monken is like that even in the meeting rooms, and that he’s talkative and because of that “you’re enjoying it”.

“Not even just practice, I want to say, I’ll say, even in the meeting rooms, Coach [offensive coordinator Todd Monken] is very active. He’s talkative and you’re enjoying it – the learning process of what he’s saying [when he’s] teaching us the new offense. It’s fun.”
