![]() In fact, Mayfield ranked sixth in pass attempts (58) and plays (60) off RPO during that season. But during that season, we saw a lot of RPO slant passes from Mayfield to Beckham. 2019 was four years ago (I’m great at math), so Beckham isn’t the same player he was, especially coming off multiple serious injuries. Of course, we saw Monken alongside Odell Beckham in 2019, and Beckham of course joined the Ravens this offseason. Of course, Cleveland’s passing game centered around Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry, while getting minimal production from the tight end spot. However, the Browns targeted the middle of the field just 20% of the time in 2019 under Monken, which ranked 23rd in the league. From 2020-2022, the Ravens targeted the middle of the field 40% (first), 31% (second) and 27% (second) of the time. ![]() If there is more of an emphasis on explosive plays down the field, we’ll see if the Ravens target the middle of the field less, which has been a staple of their passing attack. ![]() Baker Mayfield ranked ninth in the league in average depth of target in 2019 (9.2 yards), while 14.2% of his pass attempts traveled 20-plus yards down the field, the eighth-highest rate in football. Monken wants to look for explosive plays in the passing game and force opposing defenses to have to worry about the entire field. It’ll be one of the paramount differences between Monken’s offense and what we have seen from the Ravens. And that is going to be something to continue to think about - early-down pass rate. (“Roman and the Ravens” - sounds like a pretty good name for a band.) Anyway, the Browns ranked 12th in neutral-script pass rate during that season (60.3%), while their early down pass rate of 55.3% was the 10th highest in football. And as you’ll see, Monken’s playcalling tendencies certainly differ from what we have seen from Roman and the Ravens. In 2019, Monken was calling plays for the Browns in Cleveland. Let's take a look at those offenses.įollow along with the entire Coaches and Coordinators series here. Before Monken went to help Georgia win two National Championships, he was calling plays in Cleveland and Tampa Bay. But we’ll talk more about what elements of that Georgia offense we could see in Baltimore later on. Georgia threw the ball just over 49% of the time, which was one of the lowest rates in college football last year. While the Bulldogs weren’t exactly airing the ball out, Monken’s offenses have leaned much more toward the pass throughout his career in the NFL, which has many excited about what this Baltimore offense could look like this season. He was last calling plays at the University of Georgia 2020-2022. The Ravens brought in Todd Monken as the team’s new offensive coordinator. And for the most part, it worked, as the Ravens were one of the most efficient rushing offenses in the NFL. Offensive coordinator Greg Roman deployed a pistol-based rushing attack that used 22 personnel (two running backs) more than any team in football. From 2020 to 2022, no team in the NFL has called run in neutral gamescripts more than the Ravens’ whopping 50.7% of the time. Georgia OC 2020-2022, Browns OC 2019, Bucs OC 2018įor years, Baltimore has been known for crab cakes, The Wire and the Ravens running the absolute hell out of the football. Ravens Offensive Coordinator: Todd Monken With a career record of 147-95, Harbaugh has been a consistent and reliable presence on the sidelines for the Ravens and if this team can stop suffering so many brutal injuries, more playoff success could easily be on the horizon. Injuries have slowed them down as of late, especially to star quarterback Lamar Jackson. ![]() With that in mind, I have ranked the top-48 players in superflex dynasty fantasy football leagues heading into the 2022 NFL season.Baltimore Ravens Head Coach: John HarbaughĢ023 will be Harbaugh’s 16th season as the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, who have consistently been one of the better teams in all of football. ![]() If a team does not use high draft capital on a player then they can justify replacing them in future drafts. The last, but certainly still important, is draft capital. The second is what team they were drafted by, is there a manageable path to a fantasy relevant role in the immediate future. First is how talented they are, at the end of the day if I think they have enough talent to win a share of the offense then talent always wins out. I look at three things when it comes to how I value a player in this order. It really comes down to what you value most in rookie drafts or what you view as your biggest need. The results leave these rookie rankings very much up in the air it seems, you can go a lot of different ways with the top-8. The NFL Draft has come to a close and after a few months of build up, the incoming rookie class has found their destinations. ![]()
