Ravens bolster pass rush to support secondary in upcoming season
Summary

The Baltimore Ravens are focusing on enhancing their pass rush ahead of the season. Coach Mike Mickens emphasized the significance of collaboration between the defensive backs and the defensive line, referring to the latter as the secondary's 'best friend.' With the addition of Trey Hendrickson to a revamped pass-rush unit that includes Mike Green, Tavius Robinson, and rookie Zion Young, the Ravens aim to create more turnover opportunities for their secondary. Consistent pressure from the line can lead quarterbacks to make hurried throws, benefiting defenders like Kyle Hamilton and Nate Wiggins. Mickens highlighted the need for both the rush and coverage to work in harmony to effectively disrupt opposing offenses.
