Quarterback Lamar Jackson is expected to be given more freedom on offense with the Baltimore Ravens under the direction of new offensive coordinator Todd Monken. The former MVP is excited about the adjustments.

In this year’s offseason, the Baltimore Ravens revamped their offense. Wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers are expected to provide more explosiveness, while on the sidelines Todd Monken replaces fired offensive coordinator Greg Roman.

The handling of Lamar Jackson, who signed a long-term contract a few weeks ago, is also expected to change. According to a report by “ESPN”, Jackson is to be given the opportunity to have more freedom at the line of scrimmage.

According to the report, under the direction of Greg Roman, it was rarely possible for Jackson to adjust a play. Under Monken, Jackson should be able to step into the role of offensive coordinator if he spots a weakness in his own or the opponent’s lineup on the turf.

Ravens: Lamar Jackson happy about adjustment

“There are plays where Jackson makes adjustments and he gets to enforce them. He’s kind of the offensive coordinator on the play,” Tee Martin, the Ravens’ quarterbacks coach, told “ESPN”.

Head coach John Harbaugh added: “We’ve given that option every now and then in the past, but next season we want to put more emphasis on it. I think that will help all of us. “

Lamar Jackson himself is excited about the adjustments, “I kind of have all the keys to the offense now. I love it.” For the Ravens, it’s now a matter of getting the horsepower on the road; in just over two months, Baltimore will face the Philadelphia Eagles in their first preseason game.
