Scheme ConfidenceTier 2Partial Continuity

Jesse Minter brings both head coaching and defensive coordinator duties to Baltimore, with high confidence in his Sound Multiple defense based on his empirical cluster showing Modern Odd-Front Zone tendencies. His 21.7% career blitz rate aligns well with Baltimore's 24.2% rate last season under Zach Orr. The offensive side has more uncertainty with new coordinator Declan Doyle, whose West Coast projection comes from his coaching tree connections to Sean Payton and Ben Johnson rather than his own playcalling data. This could mean a shift from Baltimore's 65% shotgun rate in 2025 toward the more balanced 50-56% rates his mentors prefer, potentially affecting Lamar Jackson's mobility-based production.

Key Concerns

▸Edge run defense traits score just 13 out of 100, creating a fundamental mismatch with Minter's assignment-sound scheme that requires disciplined edge setting.

▸Linebacker athleticism scores zero across the position, severely limiting coverage range and blitz effectiveness in Minter's multiple front packages.

▸The tight end room lacks receiving depth behind Andrews, with Durham Smythe grading at the 4th percentile while the West Coast system typically targets the position heavily.

▸Running back receiving ability grades at 37, creating a significant limitation in Doyle's checkdown-heavy concepts.

▸Multiple key players including Henry, Humphrey, and several offensive linemen face contract decisions within the next two years.
