Baltimore Ravens secondary aims for more takeaways, fewer big plays

The Baltimore Ravens’ secondary coach Mike Mickens emphasizes the need for his players to avoid explosive plays while increasing turnovers. Mickens advocates for a disciplined approach where defenders can attack the ball after establishing proper positioning. The goal is to enhance the defense's impact, especially with an offense led by Lamar Jackson that thrives on additional possessions. Baltimore seeks to build on last season's struggles in closing games by focusing on situational discipline and communication among defensive backs. As training camp progresses, maintaining this balance will be essential for the upcoming season.
