Ravens Coach: "I Didn't Coach Lamar Jackson Well Enough"

Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken has taken direct blame for the team's failed season. After a disappointing 8-9 record that kept the Ravens out of the NFL playoffs, Monken made a stark admission. He said he "didn't coach Lamar well enough," referring to star quarterback Lamar Jackson. The statement is a rare public acknowledgment of personal failure from a senior coach. It places responsibility for the offense's performance squarely on the coordinator. Monken's comments come as the organization begins its off-season analysis. The Ravens entered 2023 with high expectations but finished below a .500 win rate. This admission will likely increase scrutiny on how the team builds its strategy around Jackson for the next season.
