This is quite awkward.
When Lamar Jackson arrived at organized team activities, he was in for a rude awakening for the upcoming season.
The Baltimore Ravens quarterback was blindsided when he found out the team had installed a brand new offense for the 2019 season. The franchise made it clear he was the main man going forward, with the team trading away Joe Flacco to the Broncos, but no one informed him that the offense from 2018 wouldn’t be following him into 2019.
“Coming in, I didn’t know we would have a totally different offense,” Jackson admitted Thursday.
“When I got here, coach was like, ‘Yeah, we have a totally new system. You’re going to have to go through this and that.’ It’s been getting to me a little bit.”
It probably should’ve been expected since the team parted ways with offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg following their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in last season’s wild-card round.
Jackson described his first day as both unique and how he “sucked” during practice, according to Matt Bonesteel of the Washington Post.

“It’s a process, so we’re not exactly clicking on all cylinders yet, but I’m really happy with the progress and where we’re going,” coach John Harbaugh said, according to Bonesteel.
