Five Clues About What Todd Monken’s Offense Will Look Like

Not only do the Ravens have Andrews, they have perhaps the NFL’s deepest tight end room that also includes Isaiah Likely, Charlie Kolar, free agent Nick Boyle and pending free agent Josh Oliver.

Georgia’s leading receiver last year was tight end Brock Bowers (63 catches, 942 yards, seven touchdowns) who won the John Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end. No. 2 tight end Darnell Washington (28 catches, 454 yards, two touchdowns) was also heavily featured in Georgia’s offense.

Monken knows tight ends, and with a tight end tool box as deep as Baltimore’s, he’s got plenty to work with.

“Mark (Andrews) has done it for X number of years,” Monken said. “Then you’re got a young player (Likely) who is learning how to play at the professional level. But they both have the ability to make plays down the field, run after catch. So, it’s a great starting point, because I think they’re tough matchup guys.”

Monken has never ignored the run game despite dialing up prolific passing attacks at his various stops in both the NFL and college. Georgia’s top two running backs last season, Kenny McIntosh and Daijun Edwards, both averaged 5.5 yards per carry last season.

Monken knows what Dobbins and Edwards can do, and he has seen how the Ravens’ talented offensive line is capable of controlling the line of scrimmage. In Baltimore, Monken hopes to have a balanced offense that won’t stray from having a strong run game.

“I first started watching (film), and I’m like, ‘Wow, they do really good stuff in the run game. Like, holy cow, that is very creative,”’ Monken said. ” Obviously, the better you run the football, the better you throw it, so it starts with an excellent run game and then go from there.”
