Ravens Biggest Offseason Priority? 'Learn Todd Monken's Offense'

The Baltimore Ravens offense has gone through significant changes, and learning the new system is the team's biggest priority.

The Baltimore Ravens are going to look vastly different on offense next season. With Todd Monken coming in as the new offensive coordinator replacing Greg Roman and two new receivers in Odell Beckham Jr. and Zay Flowers, it will be an offseason of learning for Baltimore.

For NFL.com, while the Ravens have other pressing needs on defense, learning Monken's new system is the biggest priority for Baltimore this offseason.

"The Ravens could use help on defense -- cornerback and edge stand out as areas of need -- but the transformation on offense is the story of the summer," Sessler writes. "Greg Roman's medieval ground-and-pound act is out the door, replaced by a Todd Monken-authored playbook that promises more commitment to the pass. 

"With Odell Beckham Jr., Nelson Agholor and first-round rookie Zay Flowers added to a stew starring Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman, Lamar Jackson finally boasts the requisite weapons to shine through the air. No more excuses for a quarterback telling us he's ready to throw for 6,000 yards."

For the new scheme to be learned, Lamar Jackson likely should be present for voluntary workouts, shouldn't he? 

Well, he isn't, and that likely isn't going to make things easier. Getting in every bit of practice, film session, and everything in between is paramount for a team who has been under pressure to get it done in the postseason under Jackson's guidance.

Jackson did state, albeit jokingly, that he wants to throw for 6,000 yards with the weapons he has at his disposal, but for that to happen, he needs to get a grip on Monken's system.
