Inside Lamar Jackson's adjustments to Ravens' new offense - ESPN

OWINGS MILLS, Md. — About a week ago, quarterback Lamar Jackson was ticked off at Baltimore Ravens training camp, spiking his helmet down to the ground with both hands.

Toward the end of a two-minute drill, Jackson hit tight end Durham Smythe down the seam to move the ball just outside the end zone with six seconds remaining. With the clock ticking, Jackson and the rest of his offensive teammates rushed to the line of scrimmage to get one more play off. But time expired and Jackson let everyone know his frustration.

Jackson has experienced his share of ups and downs this summer while learning a new offensive system under coordinator Declan Doyle. There are plenty of practices where Jackson makes several great passes deep downfield and then throws an interception, including one to a 310-pound defensive lineman.

But Jackson's track record suggests he will have more success in adapting to a new scheme than any of the other 21 teams that have a new offensive coordinator this season. Jackson has won the NFL Most Valuable Player award the past two times he has worked with a new offensive coordinator.

In 2019, Jackson became only the second unanimous selection for MVP in his first season under Greg Roman. Four years later, he won MVP for a second time in his first season under Todd Monken.

Now, under Doyle, Jackson has the opportunity to continue the trend where he embraces a new vision — featuring a different alignment, cadence and targets — to become the league's most acclaimed player again in 2026.
