The Baltimore Ravens currently boast the top offense in the NFL, both rushing and throwing the football. The team has found massive amounts of success behind quarterback Lamar Jackson and running back Derrick Henry, with others contributing to the team’s dominance as well.
Despite their incredible year on offense, the Ravens are poised to get even stronger on that side of the ball with more talent being added to the mix. Baltimore acquired wide receiver Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers and will be getting running back Keaton Mitchell back soon, things that Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken called “exciting”.
“Having really talented players and having a really talented staff and a gameplan that they understand, allows you to really function at a high level. But it starts with having really talented players. So, it’s exciting to get those guys back, and it also provides depth if you lose somebody. Really, that’s the nature of what we do – you’re going to lose players, so having quality depth, guys that can come in and function at a really high level when your expectations are really high. If your expectations aren’t really high, then well, that’s different. We’re the Baltimore Ravens; we’re expected to win. So whoever that is, we have to have enough depth to do that.”
Both Johnson and Mitchell will bring added elements to Baltimore’s offense that should make them even more explosive and dangerous on that side of the ball. With the Ravens’ defense struggling the way that they have been so far through the first half of 2024, every point will count moving forward.
