Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will have his work cut out for him to recalibrate the team's offense. Offseason moves for the team have sparked much controversy among fans, who have mixed opinions about the franchise's direction. The acquisition of all-pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson may be a point of positivity for head coach Jesse Minter, but the offense will need to reconstruct after losing two very essential pieces in tight-end Isaiah Likely and fullback Patrick Ricard, who both have gone on to sign with the New York Giants to play with former head coach John Harbaugh.
For Declan Doyle, a point of emphasis needs to be ensuring that Ravens running back Derrick Henry has his usage maximized and that quarterback Lamar Jackson is comfortable operating in the quick passing game. Skepticism about the true value of wide receiver Rashod Bateman remains an area of concern. Will Doyle give reserve wide receiver Devontez Walker more reps with the starters? Will Doyle deploy more 12-personnel sets, and what other offensive additions are needed to seal any breaches that might have emerged? Certainly, Minter is being intentional about establishing a team philosophy while simultaneously maintaining the team's infrastructure, but after struggling to sustain offensive drives last season, a move away from Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken was very necessary.
Ultimately, Doyle will look to replicate the success he produced for the Chicago Bears offense in 2025 and exponentially improve the Ravens in 2026. Doyle hasn't made too many overt public declarations, and rightfully so. Instead, Doyle needs to discern and decide which skills players best complement his QB and which personnel groups make the team's offense operate most efficiently.
