Lol Todd Monken is trash. I still can't believe people are excited about this fraud. His obsession downfield, plus his over complex route running trees and inability to be creative underneath equals death. His play designs lead to a lot of yards, sure. But also ALOT of INTs. He created schemes for both Baker and Jameison. Ask them how they are doing lol. He forces QB to hold on to ball to long. Lamar will regress under this clown. Calling it now
It’s been like this the last three years, since 2019. Sadly, Chuck Clark left and got injured, which shows that we’re probably avoiding the injury bug.
The most underrated thing about Lamar is his pocket presence. He’s more of a pocket passer than ppl give him credit for. He always has been. He doesn’t scramble often on passing plays and most of his runs are designed play calls. That’s why he’s so effective on the field. He’s basically been playing two starting positions for Baltimore since 2018. I’d love for Monken to mix in a few Qb runs here & there but allow Lamar to distribute the ball in a more sophisticated passing scheme. I could see Lamar having a season where he passes for 4100 36+ TDs w/ 600+ rushing 8tds.
I just hope Todd Monken finds a good balance with Lamar’s running ability with designed runs and involving the running backs more in the passing game. I’m not saying JK Dobbins is or should be used like Christian McCaffrey where he’s basically a wide receiver. But I think Dobbins should see more targets/game.
Awesome vid. IK the offense was gonna look massively different, but this really illustrates exactly how it will be. I’m excited to see how things go for Baltimore, which couldn’t really be said recently
@@phmh8561bro I’m a Steelers fan but I’m scared of y’all’s offense holy shit. We have a good D but our offensive coordinator is so questionable it hurts my soul. Hoping for good games and a great rivalry
Great video! As of right now, even though I am an Eagles fan, the Ravens may be the team that I am the most interested to see this coming season. With the new offensive coordinator, and the additions that they've made at wide receiver, I am interested in seeing what they look like on offense, and if they will indeed incorporate more spread concepts. Another team that I am very intrigued to see in this coming season? The Jaguars. I am interested to see if Trevor Lawrence will continue to rise and develop further, and I am interested in seeing how Calvin Ridley will fit in and play. If he turns out to still be a #1 receiver, the Jags' offense could go to a new level.
As an lsu fan, seeing them stay disciplined and fly to the ball against very well thought out concepts run by elite talent has me very excited for the future. I know they beat us bad but that Georgia team was elite
That one is sooo tricky, he looked horrible last year and their offense was flat bad, but he's obviously a LEGIT talent, and needed time to come back to the game. If he's like 75% of what he was in in Houston they'll be really good
Not a Ravens fan, but I believe they will be explosive once again on offense this year. Spread offense with Lamar almost seems unfair. They will be interesting and fun to watch this season. I think they'll be a playoff team again if Lamar can stay healthy.
Can tell when someone's a true fan of the game. I'm the same way, I enjoyed watching Hurts light it up as well as Mahomes. REAL excited for my Ravens this year too!
@@AlexRollinsNFL - [Insert the "you can't if you don't" meme] No you got it. that's why they signed Josh Johnson to back up Brock Purdy late last year. You can't lose a super bowl you don't play in.
I was already high on the Ravens, but this video has me envisioning the "Ravens Super Bowl LVIII" championship T-shirt. Another underrated change was their strength and conditioning coach as the players seem to be as happy with that change as the change in OC. Hopefully this means more healthy Ravens for Monken to scheme up.
LoL 😂. As a Steeler fan....I can't wait to see it. I can show just as many plays where the Ravens had wide open Wrs with their arms in the air, and Lamar never seen them
You're not a real fan. Because if you were, you wouldn't be worried about some new offense, especially without seeing it up close. Wait until week 1 to decide if it'll work.
Nice video, Added that nobody hire greg roman for a OC gig this offseason, which tells that nobody will hire him unless he changes a monumental changes in his philosophy.
i agree that have 2 or 3 TEs makes it harder to stretch the field but the fact he couldn’t draw up any plausible route combos is his fault. He could’ve literally bought Madden and copied the Best Route Combos from every singleback or heavy formation.
harbs isn't an x and os coach. all he knows is special teams. they were literally pointing this out every Sunday. he's still the weakest link to this team
Roman’s play design seems a lot like Kellen Moore’s…Would love your analysis of Moore’s offense v. McCarthy’s offense…maybe Bienemy’s offense as well…any thoughts on the Birds’ new OC?
As a 9ers fan, I know all too well of Greg Roman's 1 year wunderkind lifestyle. He's never been a good play caller/ coordinator. Lamar will be 10x better with Monken
with 50 year old mark ingram at rb1 we was still cooking. with sneed having a starting job on that team, we were winning! then old pal greg decided lamar should get the ball every play. he knows immediately that is not the case here cus harbaugh would toss him. which he did. so he made a whole playbook where lamar could choose the option literally every play. 💀
Monken might be a good OC....in college, we won't know how it converts to the NFL, but you also need competent receivers to know their assignments, etc. and a QB that can make the throws, know his reads, audibles, and a strong O-Line to let the play develop so the QB can get the ball down field. As well as having a brand new offense since Lamar entering the league, I don't see them going on all cylinders until the middle of the season, which is good.
@@DustinPlatt you know him by “fitzmagic” because of monkein, not because he was a great qb. You probably don’t remember how miserably bad the bucs were before brady showed up and every veteran signed a low ball contract deal to get the dude another ring
Love how anyone who talks about the Ravens offense conveniently leaves out the fact that Lamar wasn’t on the field when it failed. Roman’s offense was outdated in the passing game, but it was still one of the best units in football during his tenure
I agree, good move with new OC but all they did in 2019 was run the zone read w Lamar. Getting rid of the OC is good but 8 has to prove time and again currently that he can stay in the pocket read the defense and make a sound throw, which he has not done-- that simple.
100% is. He just isnt an OC. hes a run game coordinator that was given a role above his ability. Its unfortunate because hes a good guy who understands football, he just cant be an OC at the nfl level. Maybe not even college. Incredible run game coordinator though.
At this point I'd argue there are guys who have shown a better acumen at calling creative and efficient run schemes for the offense. Arthur Smith is the opposite to Roman in applying the run game with the threat of the play action. Ben Johnson from the Lions used a wide array of run schemes to essentially just have his elite O-line bully opponents in the trenches to get yards on the ground. Even Kliff Kingsbury as a run designer had some really good stuff he used with the Cardinals. But much like Roman, his pass game design was equally as putrid.
It was both personnel and pass concepts it was always the same play every game he never adjusted to the defense he just ran it and didn’t care ravens fans could legit call what play he was about to run before it happened
@@nightmarekilo84 a personell grouping by itself isn’t problematic, you don’t have to use 11 or 10 within any contextual situation because teams almost always have to match
I'm nervous the ravens may take a step back this year with such a big philosophical change. But I think it's just as likely that they're twice as good this season, so let's hope for that one.
It’s insane that the Ravens let Greg Roman’s acts of terrorism go on for as long as they did. A change should have been made two years ago when Lamar told reporters defenses were calling out their plays.
yeah as much as Roman gets the pass from fans because his offenses got 'team' related accolades (got 1 team to the SB, helped Lamar get an MVP), Roman is unapologetic when his offenses can't put up points consistently in different ways. Which is why I'm buying in on Monken because even on his interview with getting the OC job, he acknowledged that his job as the OC is to get the offense to score points. Anything less then you know to hold him accountable especially with high caliber talents at QB like Lamar and a good receiver group.
Greg Roman took a lot of heat for stifling Lamar's growth, but Im old enough to remember why Roman was promoted to OC. It was because the Ravens were going to build an offense around Lamars skills and not force him to be something that he's not...a pocket passer. They weren't going to make the mistake that other teams with dual-threat QBs had done in the past and put him into an offensive philosophy that didn't match his skillset. I don't blame the Ravens for employing this strategy, actually I think it's a very wise way to develop a young QB. Just look at what Pittsburgh is doing with Pickett. Similar to what they did with Roethlisberger, they're bringing him along slowly and surrounding him with a solid run game and top notch defense, giving him years to develop. The problem with the Ravens however, is that they waited until Lamar's second contract to find out if he can be a more traditional QB. They've completely mismanaged Lamars development by changing philosophies five years in. Pittsburgh will be damn sure by KPs final year of his rookie contract that he's the guy. If not they will move on. If Baltimore gets it right, and LJ can flourish under Monken, they'll be fine. If not and Lamar struggles, it will set the organization back years.
That's a great point, Roman made him viable, but the overall strategy was ultimately limited. Roman didn't fail, it was just time to move to the next level
@@AlexRollinsNFL Yes exactly. But they should've moved on in year three or four. But I think that their situation is unique in the fact that Lamar is a big part of that running game so it's more difficult to smoothly transition the way Pittsburgh can, and did with Big Ben. I think the fact that the Ravens, much like the Steelers, truly believe that they can compete each year, and that makes it harder to change. When you're having the success that they did playing Roman's style of offense (it got them consistently in the playoffs) it's harder to make that move. It will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh handles Matt Canada. As limiting as his offense can be, I think keeping continuity with KP is more important, so not replacing Canada was the right move. If Pickett improves next year but doesn't take a huge leap, say into the top 15, do they bring him back for KP's 3rd year or move on and get a new OC? It will be interesting to see how everything plays out in the AFCN over the next 2 or 3 seasons. Watson and the Browns are a whole other discussion, but if all 3 QBs not named Burrow play to the level that they're capable of, this division will far and away be the best in the league because all 4 rosters are really solid.
Just playing devil's advocate I've noticed that USUALLY, a QB used to one system will take a year or two to fully execute another one. Do we really think the Ravens are going to drastically improve immediately?
I mean as bad a Roman was, Lamar still has a 45-16 record. The ravens weren’t horrible they juts weren’t a complate team . Lamar is key. I don’t doubt Lamar’s ability. His physical ability alone will be able to make up for any hiccups they may face early on
Lamar learned 3 systems in two years under two different OCs. (Flacco/Morningwig offense, Post-Flacco Morningwig on the fly offense, Roman's MVP offense) Lamar can run any offense. And every offense he runs he masters. He will be just fine.
At worse Lamar will most definitely still pass to routes at the middle of the field which is a talent he's honed as a pocket QB for years now. The deep stuff like 989 routes he'll have to develop chemistry with his receivers (who hopefully are healthy). Along with niche situations with more pre-snap motion where depending on how he reads the offense, there are 2 options to throw but he can also just keep and rip a big run for himself.
An actual NFL offensive coordinator thought it would be a good idea to run two curl routes right next to each other… they just give anyone jobs nowadays
You would be surprised. Brandon Staley kept Joe Lombardi for a while and he's one of the OCs whose a big stick route merchant on 3rd and med/long passing downs. Finally took last season for Staley to can him and get his replacement who got booted from the Cowboys.
As a Browns fan, i hate to say it but everything said here is spot on. We will see if lamar can throw outside the numbers and deep consistently this year, that's for sure. Given that the Browns have only lost to burrow once and the fact that the bengals didn't really get any better in the offseason, imo i think either the browns or ravens will win the division this year. Desaun is looking really good in camp, and the roster is even more loaded than ever. Add to that the hiring of jim Schwartz, and i think the sky is the limit for them.
Bengals got better on offense by getting Orlando Brown defense might take a step back with the rookie safeties. Lamar can throw outside he just doesn’t do it that often because they never called the plays to throw it out there that much also never had a receiver that can just win on go balls one on one
Do you actually watch Ravens games? Like down by down? Or are you just regurgitating the same old lazy narrative? If I had to guess, probably the latter lol.
The debacle that is, and has always been, the Ravens offense goes back to Billick. Just like "IS CAM CAMERON BACK IN THE CASTLE?!!" the same cries went out, under Billick, and his carousel of OCs: "Is Matt Cavanaugh back in the castle?!!!" And while Billick was fired for his failures, Harbaugh has not been. And that has killed the team's offense and its chances of winning BIG. Harbaugh, not unlike Billick, is a fraud. I STILL hear Billick talking about moving into position to kick field goals vs going for touch downs. And Harbaugh's Wall of Shame of lousy OCs is legendary. And I predict that 5 years from now, after he's manged to further damage Lamar's career, we'll all be having the same discussion: "What's wrong with the Ravens offense?" As a former O-lineman for the Ravens stated: "The Ravens are all about the defense!". The real kicker is that while doing THAT, they ALSO blame the offense for their corporate poor decisions.
It’s gonna be hard to stop this team because they still have a strong and powerful o-line but it’s gonna be hard to play man against them because of Lamar’s scrambling and the weapons. 2 man is just gonna be taken out of the playbook against the ravens
@@AlexRollinsNFL The injuries were due to poor passing scheme plays. The first one in 2021, he let JOK of the Browns unblocked and the other one he made a tight end block the pass rusher instead of the tackle
College schemes typically do not work well in the nfl. Maybe a play here or there. I don't see the ravens getting to the superbowl with lamar as qb. If they make it to a wildcard spot, they are out round 1
Im so glad Greg Roman is gone. On the real. Shout out to the 49ers fans. They warned me about Greg Roman horrible play calling, lack luster, and basic passing schemes. He is better off as a run game coordinator not a OC. Lamar is FREE at last!!!

This is as good as Baldy's breakdowns
Yeah, we'll see.
I'm nervous the ravens may take a step back this year with such a big philosophical change. But I think it's just as likely that they're twice as good this season, so let's hope for that one.
It’s insane that the Ravens let Greg Roman’s acts of terrorism go on for as long as they did. A change should have been made two years ago when Lamar told reporters defenses were calling out their plays.
yeah as much as Roman gets the pass from fans because his offenses got 'team' related accolades (got 1 team to the SB, helped Lamar get an MVP), Roman is unapologetic when his offenses can't put up points consistently in different ways. Which is why I'm buying in on Monken because even on his interview with getting the OC job, he acknowledged that his job as the OC is to get the offense to score points. Anything less then you know to hold him accountable especially with high caliber talents at QB like Lamar and a good receiver group.
As someone who just traded for Lamar in a dynasty fantasy league, this video makes me so happy
Greg Roman took a lot of heat for stifling Lamar's growth, but Im old enough to remember why Roman was promoted to OC. It was because the Ravens were going to build an offense around Lamars skills and not force him to be something that he's not...a pocket passer. They weren't going to make the mistake that other teams with dual-threat QBs had done in the past and put him into an offensive philosophy that didn't match his skillset.
I don't blame the Ravens for employing this strategy, actually I think it's a very wise way to develop a young QB. Just look at what Pittsburgh is doing with Pickett. Similar to what they did with Roethlisberger, they're bringing him along slowly and surrounding him with a solid run game and top notch defense, giving him years to develop. The problem with the Ravens however, is that they waited until Lamar's second contract to find out if he can be a more traditional QB. They've completely mismanaged Lamars development by changing philosophies five years in. Pittsburgh will be damn sure by KPs final year of his rookie contract that he's the guy. If not they will move on.
If Baltimore gets it right, and LJ can flourish under Monken, they'll be fine. If not and Lamar struggles, it will set the organization back years.
That's a great point, Roman made him viable, but the overall strategy was ultimately limited. Roman didn't fail, it was just time to move to the next level
@@AlexRollinsNFL Yes exactly. But they should've moved on in year three or four. But I think that their situation is unique in the fact that Lamar is a big part of that running game so it's more difficult to smoothly transition the way Pittsburgh can, and did with Big Ben. I think the fact that the Ravens, much like the Steelers, truly believe that they can compete each year, and that makes it harder to change. When you're having the success that they did playing Roman's style of offense (it got them consistently in the playoffs) it's harder to make that move.
It will be interesting to see how Pittsburgh handles Matt Canada. As limiting as his offense can be, I think keeping continuity with KP is more important, so not replacing Canada was the right move. If Pickett improves next year but doesn't take a huge leap, say into the top 15, do they bring him back for KP's 3rd year or move on and get a new OC?
It will be interesting to see how everything plays out in the AFCN over the next 2 or 3 seasons. Watson and the Browns are a whole other discussion, but if all 3 QBs not named Burrow play to the level that they're capable of, this division will far and away be the best in the league because all 4 rosters are really solid.
Ravens offense should've been basically indefensible , some how Greg Roman made it predictable.
The predictability and lack of tempo was SO infuriating
Lotta reasons for Ravens fans to be excited!! Another fantastic upload my man! 🫡
Yeah, the perimeter talent is super fun. Thanks my guy!!
🔥🔥💯💪 RAVEN'S FOR LIFE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
im a fan of Gregg romans offense. I don't care if the ravens never won a SB behind it. its fun to watch,
I just hope we can average 28+ pts a game !
Aged like fine wine.
I hated Roman.
They couldn't fire him because he had tenure.
We literally had to run him out of the city and make him quit.
It’s a good day when Alex drops 🫶🏾❤️
Thanks for rocking with me Paschal
Can we get a Rodgers to the jets video?
Just playing devil's advocate
I've noticed that USUALLY, a QB used to one system will take a year or two to fully execute another one. Do we really think the Ravens are going to drastically improve immediately?
I mean as bad a Roman was, Lamar still has a 45-16 record. The ravens weren’t horrible they juts weren’t a complate team
. Lamar is key. I don’t doubt Lamar’s ability. His physical ability alone will be able to make up for any hiccups they may face early on
Lamar learned 3 systems in two years under two different OCs. (Flacco/Morningwig offense, Post-Flacco Morningwig on the fly offense, Roman's MVP offense)
Lamar can run any offense. And every offense he runs he masters. He will be just fine.
At worse Lamar will most definitely still pass to routes at the middle of the field which is a talent he's honed as a pocket QB for years now. The deep stuff like 989 routes he'll have to develop chemistry with his receivers (who hopefully are healthy). Along with niche situations with more pre-snap motion where depending on how he reads the offense, there are 2 options to throw but he can also just keep and rip a big run for himself.
The play at 2:22 is such a bad design. But lamar should have hit Likely for a TD once it broke down for real dude was wide open
An actual NFL offensive coordinator thought it would be a good idea to run two curl routes right next to each other… they just give anyone jobs nowadays
As a ravens fan two we going the same route at the same area was very often! 🤦🏾♂️
You would be surprised. Brandon Staley kept Joe Lombardi for a while and he's one of the OCs whose a big stick route merchant on 3rd and med/long passing downs. Finally took last season for Staley to can him and get his replacement who got booted from the Cowboys.
As a Browns fan, i hate to say it but everything said here is spot on. We will see if lamar can throw outside the numbers and deep consistently this year, that's for sure. Given that the Browns have only lost to burrow once and the fact that the bengals didn't really get any better in the offseason, imo i think either the browns or ravens will win the division this year. Desaun is looking really good in camp, and the roster is even more loaded than ever. Add to that the hiring of jim Schwartz, and i think the sky is the limit for them.
Bengals got better on offense by getting Orlando Brown defense might take a step back with the rookie safeties. Lamar can throw outside he just doesn’t do it that often because they never called the plays to throw it out there that much also never had a receiver that can just win on go balls one on one
I remember Monkin with you a couple years back. The Browns offense was good that year. Baker Mayfield was looking promising.
Watson is gonna need some messages next season. Someone protect Cleveland’s message therapists
@Akkbar21 nobody cares bro.
@andrewfung8591 orlando brown is super overrated honestly.
Could be an MVP or Super Bowl season.
Lamar and every runningback I've ever seen cannot read a defense and progress through his reads. That's what good quarterbacks can do.
Do you actually watch Ravens games? Like down by down? Or are you just regurgitating the same old lazy narrative? If I had to guess, probably the latter lol.
God i cant fuckin wait
The debacle that is, and has always been, the Ravens offense goes back to Billick. Just like "IS CAM CAMERON BACK IN THE CASTLE?!!" the same cries went out, under Billick, and his carousel of OCs: "Is Matt Cavanaugh back in the castle?!!!" And while Billick was fired for his failures, Harbaugh has not been. And that has killed the team's offense and its chances of winning BIG. Harbaugh, not unlike Billick, is a fraud. I STILL hear Billick talking about moving into position to kick field goals vs going for touch downs. And Harbaugh's Wall of Shame of lousy OCs is legendary. And I predict that 5 years from now, after he's manged to further damage Lamar's career, we'll all be having the same discussion: "What's wrong with the Ravens offense?" As a former O-lineman for the Ravens stated: "The Ravens are all about the defense!". The real kicker is that while doing THAT, they ALSO blame the offense for their corporate poor decisions.
It’s gonna be hard to stop this team because they still have a strong and powerful o-line but it’s gonna be hard to play man against them because of Lamar’s scrambling and the weapons. 2 man is just gonna be taken out of the playbook against the ravens
That's without even mentioning the defense.
Let's hope he can stay healthy
Yessir Ed, that's been a part of his game that's been lacking. He bulked up a TON last year
@@AlexRollinsNFL The injuries were due to poor passing scheme plays. The first one in 2021, he let JOK of the Browns unblocked and the other one he made a tight end block the pass rusher instead of the tackle
How did Roman survive in the NFL so long? He must have some photos of the Harbaugh family.
Because his run schemes took Lamar Jackson to an MVP season and it was damn near impossible to stop the first couple of years.
@@morganyu812 Lmaoo found Gregs burner.... but also he wasnt terrible, just not great. I feel like he wouldve done much better as a college coach
😂😂😂😂😂
@@tdmarkandrews7871 probably. But I'm highlighting why he kept his job. Once his defenses caught on to his run schemes he was limited
To be fair he’s good at designing running plays but bad at passing plays.He was Colin Kaperinick offensive coordinator at his NFL peak.
I think Lamar can do it: here’s to hitting 20 TD passes again. Way to go…
He will have way more than that
Yall are gonna find out that just like with Russell Wilson sometimes less is more.
So have a 0 on your passing scheme is somehow better?
Lamar is a way better qb than Russ. Stop it. Russ neve won mvp
Yoy mad cuz Lamar actually has decent weapons now
I really hope you're right because it's been immensely frustrating to see Roman waste some of Lamar's best years.
I wouldn't get my hope's too high.
Harbaugh's still the big cheese.
If their defense is bad, this might be an all time fantasy offense
“Back to his mvp ways” oh you mean when Greg Roman was OC lol gimme a break
Greg Roman is a offensive genius, just because Lamar can’t progress as a passer you blame him, he literally made tyrod Taylor look like a top 10 QB
Not at passing
Lamar's my fav rb
College schemes typically do not work well in the nfl. Maybe a play here or there. I don't see the ravens getting to the superbowl with lamar as qb. If they make it to a wildcard spot, they are out round 1
Im so glad Greg Roman is gone. On the real. Shout out to the 49ers fans. They warned me about Greg Roman horrible play calling, lack luster, and basic passing schemes. He is better off as a run game coordinator not a OC.
Lamar is FREE at last!!!
Lamar doesn't throw the football, how does a spread pass offense help when the QB is a RB?
You😅 don’t Watch any games for you to make that dumb ass comment!
Bro GRos offense wasn’t BAD, it was just one dimensional. He say CRAZY records rushing the ball.
Fersure. It had to expand though and it didn't
