  "account": "Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has announced his plans for calling offensive plays during the 2026 season. Doyle will take his position in the coaching booth, a decision he made after evaluating the benefits of both field level and elevated positions during the preseason. Doyle expressed his satisfaction with the \"clean\" experience he had in the booth during the team's preseason opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, where Baltimore secured a 24-7 victory. This transition to the booth aims to enhance Doyle's play-calling rhythm, improve the flow of information within the coaching staff, and allow him to have a better view of defensive formations, which can aid in identifying adjustments and anticipating opponents' responses to Baltimore's strategies. The booth's wider perspective should also aid Doyle in spotting potential mismatches more effectively. Although Doyle will rely on the team's assistant coaches on the sidelines for face-to-face communication with quarterback Lamar Jackson and the rest of the offense between possessions, his experience should make this process smoother. Doyle's decision also eliminates a key operational question before the regular-season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. The Ravens have implemented a new offense, adjusted responsibilities throughout the coaching staff, and evaluated several new starters during the summer, making this preseason finale a comprehensive game-day rehearsal.",
