Lamar Jackson is adjusting to a new offense installed by Declan Doyle, with the quarterback saying he’s being challenged by unfamiliar terminology and a tougher, more intense coaching approach; Doyle is pushing him hard, sometimes with expletives, and Jackson says they push each other and learn from one another; Jackson’s 6-7 record last year came with 21 TDs, 7 INT, and a career-low 349 rushing yards (two rushing TDs).
Declan Doyle is installing a bold, fast-paced offense during OTAs, pushing Baltimore’s players to learn quickly and execute under pressure to rebuild a top-tier attack after a down year; Zay Flowers and others praise his genius while coaches call him a “human computer” as the team prepares for minicamp and training camp.

Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle says the voluntary offseason program is essential for installing a new offense and building a championship-standard team, stressing that work, collaboration, and early relationship-building with coaches and players are required; veteran attendance is expected, and quarterback Lamar Jackson’s participation will be a focal point given his history with OTAs.
Declan Doyle, 29, has been hired as the Ravens’ new offensive coordinator. Though he’s never called plays, his background with Ben Johnson in Chicago and five seasons under Sean Payton could guide Baltimore’s 2026 offense toward more creativity, including presnap motion and trick plays, and a broader, more flexible use of Lamar Jackson.

With Declan Doyle leaving Chicago to join Baltimore, the Bears are weighing a DJ Moore trade in the 2026 offseason to gain cap relief and give rookies Burden, Odunze, and Loveland room to grow. Baltimore, which has roughly $22.6 million in cap space, could use a true WR1 to pair with Lamar Jackson, while Moore’s 2025 yardage dipped to 682 after a 1,364-season in 2023. A Moore deal would open about $24.5 million in cap room for Chicago after June 1 and could benefit both teams if Moore can regain elite form with Doyle in Baltimore.
