/

The Baltimore Ravens brain trust have assembled in Indianapolis preparing to pick 14th in the NFL Draft in April but the minds of Luke Jones and Nestor are on two massive contract issues that will need closure before the free agency tampering begins in two weeks.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss NFL owners and accountability and profitability

The NFL continues to rule the sports world even in the slowest of times. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the NFLPA report cards on franchises and transparency and accountability amongst billionaires who can’t even get an Epstein List regular who just hired John Harbaugh to come to light and off their ownership ledgers.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss return of Anthony Weaver as defensive coordinator of Baltimore Ravens

/

We’re so old that we remember when young Anthony Weaver was a Baltimore Ravens draft pick from Notre Dame and NFL hopeful playing on the defensive line. With rookie head coach Jesse Minter calling the plays for the defense, he turned to a trusted Owings Mills veteran in bringing Weaver back for third time to the organization as the new defensive coordinator. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the decision and the personnel in making it work.

And, now, we’ll all have to get used to the freshly minted face of the franchise as Leonard Raskin and Nestor assess the Jesse Minter hire. And the famously anti-Michigan, pro-Buckeye financial guy has to accept the former foe as savior.

Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the welcome to the Baltimore Ravens Jesse Minter press conference

What do we ever really learn from a first press conference with a new NFL head coach? Luke Jones got the seventh question at the Jesse Minter debut and at least we learned about defensive play calling and the tone of the new leader of The Castle in Owings Mills as the rookie head coach stepped before the media to set the agenda for the 2026 Baltimore Ravens alongside Eric DeCosta and Sashi Brown.

How will Jesse Minter be different than his Harbaugh mentors?

/

Clearly a young NFL coach who has spent the last decade working under the “Harbaugh Philosophy” will be bringing a whole lot of the previous system back to the Baltimore Ravens as the new head coach. Luke Jones and Nestor wonder what will be the same and what changes that Jesse Minter has in mind for Lamar Jackson and the organization amidst the high expectations set by his predecessor.
