Offensive coordinator Todd Monken will be the one running the Ravens’ offensive scheme, but part of the new Baltimore coach’s philosophy is giving more freedom and input to his QBs. Lamar Jackson is loving that very much.
Jackson came across a few plays online while surfing the net, so he decided to send them to the coaching staff. It worked out for him.
Per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley: “Jackson told me he has seen some routes that he likes just kinda looking through social media, he sent them to his quarterback coach [Todd Monken] who then put it in the playbook. Jackson said, ‘Man, I’m glad he’s listening to me.'”
“I was just on social media, and I saw a couple of routes, and I sent it to [quarterbacks] Coach Tee [Martin] and he was like, ‘I’m going to relay the message to Coach [Todd] Monken,’” Jackson said, according to ESPN. “Coach Monken liked the play, so he put it in practice. We didn’t show it today, but I feel like it will be good for us.”
There is a lot of excitement inside the Ravens’ locker room for the upcoming season and what the team can do in the AFC North.
The team has every right to be confident after adding Odell Beckham Jr., Zay Flowers, and Nelson Agholor.

Jackson threw for 2,242 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions this past season. He completed 62.3% of passes in 12 games played. Without him, the Ravens lost, 24-17, to the Bengals in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
There was trouble on the horizon this offseason as Jackson demanded a trade, but cooler heads would eventually prevail as he signed a five-year extension reportedly worth $260 million.
