Ahead of his first career start as quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, Jacoby Brissett described the first few days on the team as a crash course.
There’s no doubt it has been stressful trying to learn the playbook in a short amount of time, but he said he can rely on his adaptability to get through this week.
Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle said Brissett has been able to pick up the playbook fast.
“I was really excited when we went and made the move and were able to acquire him and get him in here,” Doyle said. “I’ve been super impressed by him, just being able to work with him as he’s picking up our offense very quickly and also being able to provide a little bit of stability to the situation.”
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans because what Brissett brings above all else is experience after having played for seven teams, including the Ravens, as well as having played in multiple systems.
So, he’s ready to adapt to whatever the Ravens throw at him, and the mini bye week came at a good time because it has allowed Brissett to get adjusted to his new offensive coordinator.
“It’s been cool. Obviously, a great football mind. (He’s) been very receptive to information from me and getting to know each other on the field and off the field, and trying to bridge the gap of a relationship that you have to fast track before Monday, but he’s been awesome,” Brissett said.
WBAL-TV 11 Sports asked Brissett what his message would be to the younger quarterbacks on the team.
“I think it’s more so listening to your teammates, and that’s how you figure out how to be a leader. You listen to who they are, what gets them going, what takes them down, and things of that nature. I think you build your leadership around that because everybody’s different. So, I can’t come in here and say, ‘I’m going to be this type of leader,’ (because) that type of leader’s not needed,” Brissett said.
