‘At Our Best When Our Best Is Needed’: Jesse Minter Brings New Vision to Ravens Practices https://share.google/KcQXa9L2AltKIGOLr It was at the end of an atypically scorching hot 92-degree practice at Organized Team Activities when Head Coach Jesse Minter called his team in to close out practice. They split into offense vs. defense, two lines facing each other to form their next playing field. Out came a couple 16-pound medicine balls and two competitors, one from each side. Who could throw it the furthest when their body hurt the most? On Tuesday, it was the offense winning three straight times and forcing the entire Ravens defense to tack push-ups onto their sweaty day. And with each side. Who could throw it the furthest when their body hurt the most? On Tuesday, it was the offense winning three straight times and forcing the entire Ravens defense to tack push-ups onto their sweaty day. And with each victory, the victors got to celebrate. Veteran left tackle Ronnie Stanley, the longest-tenured player on the team, was one of the most animated. Rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane did a cartwheel into a back flip. "The guys love it," running back Derrick Henry said. "It's something different. It gives us a chance to compete against each other and do things together." In his first Organized Team Activities as head coach, Minter has kept much of the same hard work the Ravens have built their culture around. But he's put his own stamp on the team's practices as well, most notably with how he's ended them. On Tuesday, it was the competitive medicine ball toss. On Monday, the entire team (even the coaches) were tested with a two-minute plank on their forearms and toes at the end of practice. Minter's back was straight as a board, by the way. Minter calls it the "At our best when our best is needed" period, which he plans to keep fresh at the end of each practice. "Right now, you can't really do the football competition, and so I thought it would be something different, something fun," Minter said. "I try to get guys to not know what's about to happen and answer the bell when their number's called, and it's as simple as that. "That's really all we're trying to get done with that and make it fun, have the guys pull for each other. I love the energy there. It was a clean sweep by the offense today."

New drill, I was taught at a young age that talent only gets you so far. That being in the best shape can lead to far more success. It's good to see Minter have a similar mindset. For us, as high-school players, our coach had a killer drill. 2 car tires, 1 in each hand, sprint up a hill that was maybe 10 yards but steep, touch the fence, sprint back down. We had 2 lines, we went 10 times. This, after a 2 mile train, and stretching which included 30 pushups, 30 sit ups, and 3 leg raises. Did I mention this was during the summer sessions, in July, in CT, 90+ degrees. https://youtu.be/7g3zx_ftj34?si=9VccJ0fHaX-Zalo3

No doubt, the stadium emptied at half time save for a few of us. By the past five minutes of the game, folks were fighting security to get back in! What a game
