Overview
- This week Minter began regular meetings with Lamar Jackson to study opposing offenses from a defensive perspective so Jackson can spot disguised coverages before the snap.
- Minter has publicly defended Jackson on media appearances, calling outside criticism maddening and saying he believes Jackson has taken ownership of the team.
- On the practice field Minter has overseen technical changes, including more snaps under center, as the staff evaluates ways to improve Jackson's decision-making and pocket play.
- Jackson will work under Minter and new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle as he looks to rebound from a down 2025 while keeping key targets such as Zay Flowers under contract.
- Minter's broader coaching approach stresses understanding why schemes work rather than rote memorization, a shift intended to speed reads, boost leadership and shape game plans this season.
