Two Ravens take veiled shots at John Harbaugh after firing: ‘Just not what we were’

The Baltimore Ravens' preseason opener has sparked a wave of commentary from players about the team's new coaching staff. Rashod Bateman and Ronnie Stanley have both praised the attention to detail shown by new defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. Bateman, speaking to Bleacher Report, highlighted Minter's meticulous approach.

Stanley, in a separate interview with NBC Sports, echoed similar sentiments, suggesting that the new coaching staff values precision more than the previous one. The New York Post noted that both players' comments could be interpreted as veiled criticisms of former head coach John Harbaugh, who was fired earlier this year. The Baltimore Ravens' official website has focused on the team's dominant defensive performance in the preseason opener, rather than the players' comments.

The Baltimore Banner has also covered Minter's detailed approach, without mentioning Harbaugh. The timing of these comments, coming just after the preseason opener, suggests that players are already forming opinions about the new coaching staff.
