After the hiring of offensive coordinator Todd Monken, it was widely assumed that the 2023 Baltimore Ravens’ offense would look much different from the ground-and-pound style that fans had come to expect for the last five years. In the first two games of the preseason, this assumption has come to fruition as the Ravens personnel groupings have expanded from primarily 12 and 21 personnel looks to more 11 personnel.

Per Sharp Football Analytics Warren Sharp, the 2022 offense ran 11 personnel on early downs of the first half 9.
