To reach the level of execution that the Ravens offense had in 2024 requires everybody to be on the same page. Having strong attendance at OTAs would help get a jumpstart on the onboarding process of Doyle’s offense.
“We would expect [the players] to be here and, certainly, it is voluntary,” Doyle said. “But, if you want to say that you’re going to win a championship – [and if] you want to say that you have championship standards, and those are your goals and your expectations – certainly that’s going to take work, that’s going to take collaboration, and that’s going to take the beginning of building the relationship with their coaches [and] other players starting off this next regime on the right foot.”
Doyle will be a first-time play-caller this fall, but he’s been preparing for an opportunity like the one in Baltimore since he stepped into the league.
“I knew that the first time I was going to call plays, probably, wasn’t going to be in a smaller setting, it was probably going to be with the bright lights,” Doyle said. “I felt like I needed to prepare for that early. So, in that way, I’ve kind of been preparing just to be able to call [the game] and kind of how your mind works, but really the work during the week is what counts, and that’s been a part of really every job that I’ve had.”
