Overview
- Declan Doyle was named the Ravens’ offensive coordinator and will serve as the team’s play-caller, a move that drew league attention because he has never called NFL plays before and was widely reported on July 21–22.
- The 2025 Ravens offense ranked 16th in total yards and 27th in passing while ranking second in rushing, and Lamar Jackson finished a down, injury-affected season with 2,549 passing yards and a career-low 349 rushing yards.
- Team leaders say the top priorities for Doyle are keeping Jackson healthy, improving red-zone touchdown rates, and getting more production from receivers such as Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman.
- Baltimore added interior help in the draft and free agency, including Olaivavega Ioane and John Simpson, but analysts note the franchise did not match the heavy offensive-line revamp that aided Doyle in Chicago, leaving pass protection an open question.
- Doyle’s success this season could reshape his career and the Ravens’ title chances, so observers will watch training camp and preseason for schematic shifts including reports that GM Eric DeCosta is 'phasing out' a key position.
