Minter Unveils 'Be Your Best' Drill to Close Ravens OTAs

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter is ending Organized Team Activities with a new closing drill, the 'At our best when our best is needed' period, to foster competition and accountability. OTAs feature fast-paced 11-on-11 drills with no live contact, and a recurring medicine-ball toss where the offense has dominated; earlier sessions included a two-minute plank challenge. The approach signals a new cultural imprint and the expectation that players perform at their best when their number is called, while Minter installs his schemes and maintains the Ravens’ hard-working ethos.

Ravens OTAs Day 1: Minter Instills Pace, Finish, and Center Competition

Baltimore opened its OTAs under new coach Jesse Minter with a fast, finish-every-play mindset, a loud, communicative defense led by Roquan Smith, and a quick start into 11-on-11 drills. Center competition began with Danny Pinter impressing on eye test metrics at 6‑4, 306 pounds, while rookie tight end Josh Cuevas stood out with multiple catches, including a diving grab. Devontez Walker hauled in the first OTAs deep ball and Ja’Kobi Lane also made a notable sideline catch, as the offense’s attacking line play and versatility at receiver showed promise ahead of pads.

Ravens Navigate to Wolf Kills Using Memory, Not Following Wolves

Researchers tracked 69 ravens and 20 wolves in Yellowstone for over 2.5 years and found that ravens rarely shadow wolves; instead they rely on long-term memory of areas where wolf kills are common, sometimes flying up to 155 km to likely carcass sites, indicating sophisticated spatial memory and flexible foraging rather than simple pursuit.

Ravens weigh veteran help at multiple spots as cap space tightens

With Calais Campbell signed and Skylar Thompson added, Baltimore sits at 90 players and about $28 million in cap space, forcing GM Eric DeCosta to chase a starting center (likely via trade) while weighing veteran depth at other positions. The article outlines potential veteran additions at running back, wide receiver, swing tackle, outside and inside linebackers, and safety, noting that cap realism means balancing young players’ development with practical upgrades. In short, Baltimore will pursue selective veteran depth—especially at tackle or safety—while continuing to evaluate its young group and stay flexible for the season.
