Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton recently described the team's new offensive strategy under coordinator Declan Doyle. The system prioritizes a heavy reliance on running back Derrick Henry to force defensive adjustments. By establishing the run, the Ravens aim to open passing lanes for quarterback Lamar Jackson and skill players like Zay Flowers, Rashad Bateman, and Mark Andrews. Hamilton noted that the team intends to use play-action and misdirection to exploit aggressive defensive tendencies. The offense focuses on forcing defenders into difficult choices by leveraging both Henry’s rushing ability and Jackson’s mobility. This approach marks a shift following the team’s coaching staff changes this off-season.
