Zrebiec: No more excuses for Ravens’ pass game following offensive makeover

With the Ravens’ offseason workouts still in the voluntary stages, Todd Monken hasn’t yet had the opportunity to coach a number of the key players who will make up his offense. Yet, the predominant question heading into training camp and the regular season may just be whether Monken — and for that matter, Jackson — can best utilize the team’s myriad weapons and keep everyone happy. Still, it’s plenty fair to conclude that for a team that won’t suddenly abandon its productive run game — and it shouldn’t, given its personnel and the stress it puts on defenses — the Ravens now have enough quality receiving options to possess the complementary passing attack former offensive coordinator Greg Roman struggled to develop. “Definitely a ton of different ways to stretch the field and do things,” said Duvernay when asked about the team’s new offense last week. “A ton of different guys that can do a multitude of things, and Todd Monken, I think he’s the guy for the job, and we’ll have a lot of fun.” It’s been a while since the Ravens’ pass game has been anything resembling “fun.” But with the signings of Beckham and Agholor, and the selection of Flowers in the first round, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta, at the very least, has delivered on his offseason vow to upgrade Jackson’s group of pass catchers.
