Ravens
Ravens Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle is setting the tone for the team's voluntary OTAs with a clear message: commitment is key. While attendance isn't mandatory, Doyle emphasizes the importance of these sessions for building a championship-caliber team.
"If you want to win a championship, it starts with collaboration and building relationships with coaches and players," Doyle shared. This approach sets the stage for a strong start under the new regime.
A focal point for Doyle is quarterback Lamar Jackson's consistency with initial play calls. Doyle noted, "Lamar can be more consistent with his eyes and footwork within the system."
The aim is to blend Jackson's dynamic off-script abilities with a scheme that highlights his strengths. "The quarterback often needs to be the eraser of game planning errors," Doyle explained, likening Jackson's ability to adapt to a superhero's cape.
Titans
For Titans Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll, joining Tennessee was all about the right fit. His connection with Head Coach Robert Saleh and the presence of quarterback Cam Ward were pivotal.
"It felt like the right fit with the right people," Daboll said. His history with Saleh and confidence in Ward's potential were major factors in his decision.
Daboll is enthusiastic about Ward's athleticism and accuracy. "Cam is a young, athletic quarterback who can make plays on the move," Daboll praised.
The plan is to implement a system that plays to Ward's strengths, ensuring he feels comfortable and can thrive. Daboll is optimistic about building a successful offense around Ward, emphasizing the importance of hard work and tailoring the scheme to Ward's abilities.
Titans Defense
On the defensive side, Titans Defensive Coordinator Gus Bradley is focusing on flexibility. His strategy is to tailor the defense to the players' strengths.
"It's all about utilizing the skill set of the player," Bradley explained. Whether it's a nickel corner excelling in blitzing or another unique talent, Bradley plans to adapt his scheme to maximize each player's abilities.
This approach promises a dynamic and adaptable defense ready to tackle the challenges of the upcoming season.
