Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson added another MVP award to his collection last season, showcasing his exceptional skills on the field once again. This time, he was under the guidance of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, who helped elevate his game to new heights.
Despite Jackson’s impressive performance, the Ravens are not content with standing still. They are determined to push the boundaries and challenge Jackson even further, leveraging his deepening understanding of the offensive scheme.
During a press conference on Monday, Monken discussed the increased flexibility Jackson will have before the snap, allowing him to make crucial decisions at the line of scrimmage. Monken emphasized the importance of empowering the quarterback and maximizing his potential.
“We’re always looking to empower the quarterback. I think that’s the only way you get the most out of a player. It’s not just a quarterback position; it’s about empowering them in all aspects. We’ve had a great offseason to fine-tune our approach and give Lamar the tools he needs to succeed,” Monken stated.
The offseason has been crucial for the Ravens as they work on streamlining their strategy and optimizing their game plan. Monken is eager to see the results of their hard work translate onto the field.
“We’re about to see if all the things that we did in the offseason and the way that we practiced come to fruition. Lamar has shown incredible dedication and growth, and we believe he will showcase his full potential in the upcoming season,” Monken added.
In the 2023 season, Jackson demonstrated his prowess by completing 67 percent of his passes for 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns, and only 7 interceptions. Additionally, he showcased his dynamic abilities by rushing for 821 yards and scoring 5 touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the most versatile players in the league.
