The Baltimore Ravens have long-valued special teams as a major part of their philosophy to win football games. They’ve had massive success investing in players that can help them on that side of the ball, leading to wins coming from special teams contributions.
So far over the course of the 2023 season, there have been plenty of ups and downs for Baltimore. Ravens special teams coordinator Chris Horton said that he wants to see more consistency from his unit, saying that he wants his players to keep chasing the little details, even if they’ve been “pretty good” so far.
“Some of the little things [include] just making sure everyone is doing their job [and] being where we’re supposed to be in coverage. We do all … We have responsibilities, and we haven’t really, truly fanned the field like we need to, so we spent a little bit more time just making sure that we all understand that. It’s easy to kind of sit in the meeting room and coach it and do all those things, but it’s another thing to go out into a game and actually get those things done. We’ve been pretty good at it. So, we just have to keep chasing those little details, and we have the guys in the room to get it done.”
