Ravens‘ offensive coordinator, Todd Monken, is empowering Lamar Jackson with increased freedom and influence within the offense. Jackson, a proven pivotal figure for the Baltimore Ravens, has consistently delivered both through the air and on the ground. His role has transcended that of a mere game manager in past seasons; he has become an indispensable component of the Ravens’ gameplay.

This heightened significance is reflected in Jackson’s more active engagement in the Ravens’ offensive strategies this season. He is no longer solely dependent on the coaches for play-calling; he actively seeks novel concepts himself. This positive shift underscores Jackson’s commitment to personal improvement and team success. But why are the fans going wild after listening to Lamar’s idea?

Jackson recently stumbled upon innovative routes on social media. This demonstrates his ceaseless pursuit of refining his skills, even off the field, and his willingness to explore unorthodox approaches. Think of it as Jackson pinning his creative football play ideas on the metaphorical “fridge” for the coaches’ consideration later – a collaborative process that fosters creativity.

And some fan thinks of it like Lamar Jackson putting his cool football play idea: “This is very nice Lamar! We’ll put it right on the fridge.”

Baltimore is using plays that Lamar Jackson has sent to the coaching staff. Jackson: "I was just on social media, and I saw a couple of routes, and I sent it to Coach Tee, and Coach Monken liked the play, so he put it in practice. We didn’t show it today, but I feel like it will be good for us."

It may ring true for Lamar Jackson, who came across inventive ideas for on-field maneuvering via social media. Subsequently, he shared these concepts with his coaches, leading to the receptive interest of Coach Todd Monken.

Describing the process, Jackson mentioned after Tuesday’s joint practice with the Commanders, I was just on social media, and I saw a couple of routes, and I sent it to [quarterbacks] Coach Tee [Martin] and he was like, ‘I’m going to relay the message to Coach [Todd] Monken.'” Following this exchange, Monken endorsed the play and decided to incorporate it into practice.

While the new routes weren’t showcased during the recent joint practice with the Washington Commanders, Jackson maintains a strong belief in their potential contribution to the team’s performance.

Fans having fun at Lamar’s expense

A Reddit commenter wonders if Lamar is using an AI like ChatGPT to generate new football plays for the team: “Is he using ChatGPT to come up with plays?”

Another fan promptly replied to that comment: “So chat gpt sent this route…I like it.”

While some fan humorously compares Lamar’s idea to a successful play from a video game, “He sent them Da Bomb from NFL Blitz. Works every time.”

One person playfully imagines Lamar casually finding inspiration on Pinterest, “Lamar lying in bed scrolling through Pinterest, pinning his favorite routes to his football board.”

However, some support the idea of considering Lamar’s suggestions, “Not a bad idea to listen to your QB.”
