Consistently this training camp, the Baltimore Ravens’ offense has approached the line of scrimmage with hefty time remaining on the play clock, and it’s by Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken’s design.

“The idea is to leave the quarterback enough time at the line of scrimmage to assess the defense, make changes and be in control,” Monken said. “I’m a firm believer that [if] you want your quarterback to play his best, you’ve got to empower him.”

Play clock issues were a significant issue of the previous regime. Former Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman was asked about them numerous times last season and in previous seasons.
