Constantly this coaching camp, the Baltimore Ravens’ offense has approached the road of scrimmage with hefty time remaining on the play clock, and it’s by Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken’s design.

“The thought is to go away the quarterback sufficient time on the line of scrimmage to evaluate the protection, make modifications and be in management,” Monken stated. “I’m a agency believer that [if] you need your quarterback to play his finest, you’ve obtained to empower him.”

Play clock points have been a major challenge of the earlier regime. Former Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman was requested about them quite a few occasions final season and in earlier seasons.

Baltimore Beatdown’s Spencer Schultz coated the subject extensively on the Ravens’ struggles with the play clock and the way the problems adopted Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman all through his profession.

Enter the 2023 season helmed by Monken, and the velocity of the offense attending to the road of scrimmage and the tempo of follow as an entire is noticeably sooner, leaving Jackson ample time to get the play name in from Monken, get to the road and make his reads, and never from a play name wristband.

“Probably the most essential issues is your capacity to speak the calls, and one of the best ways for that to occur is to not begin with wristbands,” Monken stated. “[Jackson] has to listen to what I say; he has to course of the decision; he has to regurgitate to the gamers; he has to get the cadence. We are able to all the time go to wristbands. Wristbands are straightforward; you simply learn it. Exhausting is studying the offense, with the ability to course of and make the calls.”

This all results in Monken blessing Jackson with the reigns of his offense, and placing him ready to succeed with time on the clock.

“However I do consider in attending to the road faster; I feel that provides us extra time on the line of scrimmage to evaluate – for the quarterback,” Monken stated.
