Todd Monken Praised by Former QB Jameis Winston
Before Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken has called a play for Baltimore, a former quarterback of his, Jameis Winston, detailed what the Ravens are getting in their new OC.
“The Ravens are getting a detailed, specific, confident coordinator and that’s what you need in this league,” Winston said on Glenn Clark Radio. “You can’t have a coordinator that’s allowing the defense to dictate the ballgame. You have to have coordinators that are forward thinkers that are always looking for new ways to design and create concepts and plays to create complexity in the offense and to attack the defense.”
Winston would know a thing or two, as he benefitted from three seasons with Monken as his offensive coordinator at Tampa Bay, according to Pressbox’s Judith Altneu.
“Winston thrived with Monken as offensive coordinator. The former No. 1 overall pick threw for 10,586 yards and 66 touchdowns during those three seasons,” Altneu wrote. “In 2018, the Buccaneers led the NFL in passing offense, averaging 320.3 yards a game through the air.”
During that time, the Buccaneers passing offense ranked 11th or better by DVOA, per Football Outsiders.
Winston continued to share his confidence in Monken to boost the Ravens’ offense and put players in positions to succeed.
“Todd coaches like he plays a lot of football so he understands the ins and outs of what a player is looking forward to, what a player is expecting,” Winston said. “… He uses his strengths to basically put players in great situations and make sure his offense is running effectively.”
