Jesse Minter praises Ravens' 'unbelievable' relationships, communication

One thing Jesse Minter continues emphasizing throughout the offseason is the importance of relationships inside the building. During Ravens OTA media availability, Minter explained that communication became one of the very first topics discussed with players after he took over as head coach. So far, he sounds extremely pleased with how the team has responded.

That may not seem like a major storyline in May, but communication and accountability usually become critical once adversity arrives during the regular season. Minter specifically praised players for consistently keeping the coaching staff informed whenever they needed to miss time during voluntary workouts. That level of professionalism appears to matter a lot to this new staff.

While speaking with reporters, Minter explained: “These guys have been unbelievable. In probably our first meeting, the main topic was just about relationships and communication. The guys that have had to be out for a day for whatever, had to be out for a day or two for something going on – the communication's been unbelievable.

” The Ravens clearly want to build a connected locker room under Minter, and early on, the head coach sounds encouraged by the buy-in he's seeing from veterans across the roster. This article originally appeared on Ravens Wire: Jesse Minter has been impressed by the Ravens' culture this offseason
