• Lamar Jackson looks smooth in his second camp playing for offensive coordinator Todd Monken—the NFL’s reigning MVP spent a considerable amount of time with his offensive coaches this offseason fitting the offense to what he’s most comfortable with, and it’s been apparent in how he’s played this summer. That’s also allowed him to become more of a field general out there with his teammates, and you can see it in his command and ability to adjust at the line of scrimmage, something we’ll dig into more here on the site soon. And that’s part of why, by the way, the Ravens are really excited about the gains they’re seeing from TE Isaiah Likely and WR Zay Flowers in the passing game. The chemistry between Jackson and those two was pretty apparent at Wednesday’s practice.
