Offense: Fresh Ideas, Proven Accountability

Doyle, 29, addressed questions about his vision running Baltimore’s offense — particularly how quarterback Lamar Jackson fits into his scheme. Doyle emphasized versatility and maximizing the offense’s playmaking capabilities. “We’re going to build an offense that gives our players space to make plays but also stresses execution and balance,” Doyle said. “It’s not one style. It’s the right style for our guys.” Analysts noted Doyle’s history in Chicago, where he helped improve offensive production, and his comments hinted at collaboration with Jackson with an eye toward continuing the quarterback’s MVP form.

Former Raven player and defensive assistant, now DC Weaver spoke next, underscoring his excitement about rejoining the organization. A familiar figure in the building, Weaver praised Baltimore’s defensive identity and stressed consistency. “This defense is built on toughness and precision,” he said. “We’re going to be aggressive, but disciplined in how we attack. That’s the foundation we’re laying.” Minter warmly acknowledged Weaver’s leadership, calling him “a defensive mind with a proven track record and respected voice in this league.”
