The Flock Rundown

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down everything that stood out from Day 4 of Baltimore Ravens OTAs.

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we take a deep dive into what the Baltimore Ravens offense under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle could actually look like in 2026. While Doyle remains somewhat of a mystery after spending years under Sean Payton and serving as the Bears OC last season with Ben Johnson calling plays, there are already signs that the Ravens offense may be evolving into something completely different.

We discuss how Baltimore could begin using more under center formations, heavier personnel groupings, motion, and a much more dangerous play action attack built around Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry. We also break down how Sean Payton's offensive philosophy may influence Doyle's system and why this offense could become one of the most difficult offenses in football to defend.

Could this become the most complete offense Lamar Jackson has ever played in?
