Mike Green Explains Why This Ravens Defense Is Different

What this episode covers

In today's episode of The Flock Rundown, we break down some fascinating comments from Mike Green as he explains the difference between last year's defensive approach and what Jesse Minter is bringing to Baltimore. Green discusses how the new defense allows pass rushers to be more aggressive, attack quarterbacks, and play faster rather than focusing primarily on containment. Could this be the key to a breakout rookie season? We also take a look behind the scenes at Ravens minicamp and discuss some of the coaching takeaways from Declan Doyle, Dwayne Ledford, and Zack Grossi as the new staff continues to put its stamp on this football team. Plus, we dive into Trenton Simpson's role in Jesse Minter's defense and why his versatility could make him one of the biggest breakout candidates on the roster. Simpson believes the Ravens have what it takes to be the best defense in the NFL, and we discuss why that may not be far-fetched. Finally, we talk about Zay Flowers continuing to emerge as a leader within the wide receiver room. From his performance on the field to the way he supports and advocates for his teammates, Flowers appears ready to take another major step forward in 2026.
