Declan Doyle has a routine that he follows before every game.
Since he was a 22-year-old quality control coach for the New Orleans Saints, Doyle has always walked the field three hours before kickoff, simulating four offensive drives in his head.
Seven years later, Doyle will now take what's in his head to the whiteboards in the Under Armour Performance Center, where he was formally introduced Wednesday as the Ravens' offensive coordinator.
Taking over one of the most star-studded offenses in the league, headlined by two-time MVP Lamar Jackson, Doyle knows how he wants his offense to play and the three pillars the unit must follow.
"The way we want our offense to look, the nonnegotiables, are that we are physical, we're detailed, and we're explosive," Doyle said. "… That's kind of my vision for what the offense is, and that's what kind of the way me and \[Head Coach\] Jesse \[Minter\] have discussed it. Obviously, that can look different ways depending on the personnel. We're still in the early stages of really stripping this down to the studs and rebuilding it around the personnel that we have here."
