Yahoo Sports NFL on Lamar Jackson
From the article
In Lamar Jackson's ninth season, expect more under-center work from the two-time MVP who has not been primarily under center since youth football... 'Everything in the dropback passing game times up with that left foot forward,' Doyle said. 'He felt really good about it, and so we started working in the spring, and it's come really natural to him.'
STACKED’s take
MVP implementing major mechanical changes under new OC Doyle; highly coachable.
Two-time MVP quarterback in his ninth season with the Ravens; offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is implementing significant mechanical changes including more under-center work (Jackson has not been primarily under center since youth football) and a shift from right-foot-forward to left-foot-forward throwing mechanics aligned with Shanahan-McVay and West Coast system principles. Doyle emphasized the importance of this footwork adjustment: 'Everything in the dropback passing game times up with that left foot forward.' Jackson has responded positively to the coaching, with Doyle noting he is highly coachable and eager to implement new concepts despite his elite career resume (76 wins in 107 starts, 64.8% completion, 22,608 yards, 187 TDs, 56 INTs, 102.2 career passer rating, 6,522 rushing yards, 35 rushing TDs). Doyle met with Jackson for an hour via Zoom before accepting the job and has maintained regular communication, including a 3½-hour film session on the Ravens' first off day of training camp.
