Overview
- On Thursday, veteran receiver Rashod Bateman told reporters the new staff “harps on the details” and said that level of focus differed from what the team had under the previous coaching regime.
- Left tackle Ronnie Stanley echoed Bateman’s view by saying Minter’s staff “values the finer details,” a comment that multiple outlets relayed from The Athletic’s reporting.
- Bateman also said offensive coordinator Declan Doyle is moving him around the formation, which he described as giving him more chances to show his skills in the slot and outside.
- Fans and commentators have read those player remarks as veiled criticism of John Harbaugh and linked them to earlier reporting that Harbaugh had lost parts of the Ravens locker room after the 2025 season.
- Ravens sources and coverage note Minter has made early changes — shortening practices and stressing technical work, including tweaks to Lamar Jackson’s footwork — but regular-season results will determine whether the cultural shift produces sustained improvement.
