Baltimore Ravens focus on Lamar Jackson's cadence as potential offensive weapon
Summary

Declan Doyle, the Baltimore Ravens' new offensive coordinator, is exploring the untapped potential of Lamar Jackson's cadence during training camp. He believes that optimizing Jackson's pre-snap communication can draw opposing defenses offside, creating advantageous plays. The Ravens have recorded few offsides against opponents since Jackson became the starter, indicating significant room for improvement. Although training camp has seen some mistakes, including eight false starts in one practice, Doyle remains optimistic that these early challenges will help develop a more effective cadence as the season progresses.
