The Baltimore Ravens' football administration seems to be moving in the right direction, and that should largely be credited to new head coach Jesse Minter. Yet, not enough has been said about new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and his attention to detail. With new personnel changes and a few subtractions made on the offensive depth chart, the Ravens could potentially operate using more 11 personnel this upcoming NFL season. This means that Ravens fans might finally get to see quarterback Lamar Jackson live out his potential in 2026

Minter and Doyle have a militant aura, and their quest to establish a new mojo within the franchise is evident through every move and media capture. The Ravens franchise spent their 2026 draft picks intelligently, selecting personnel that fit inside the voids and vacancies, key positions that prevented former NFL MVP Jackson from having more premier statistical numbers in 2026.
If Doyle plans to use 11 personnel, Lamar Jackson will often operate under Center, as the Chicago Bears did last year, using a single-back formation. If Derrick Henry is able to take over NFL games this season, play-action passes and three-step drop pass plays will be Jackson's bread-and-butter in 2026. With newly acquired offensive lineman Vega Ioane and a more mature lineman in Roger Rosengarten, Doyle has the personnel he needs to help Jackson re-establish himself as the premier player he has shown himself to be in his promising NFL career.
Declan Doyle's strategy of using more 11 personnel will allow Lamar Jackson to operate under center more frequently, potentially enhancing his performance.
The Ravens made key personnel changes, including the acquisition of offensive lineman Vega Ioane, to fill vacancies and support Lamar Jackson's gameplay.
The new head coach of the Baltimore Ravens is Jesse Minter, who, along with Declan Doyle, is focused on establishing a new direction for the franchise.
