Defense Rules as Offense Still Learning Todd Monken’s Scheme

Listen, I know it’s just OTAs. I know it’s June 1st. I know most of the Ravens star players – including Odell Beckham Jr, Marlon Humphrey, and Roquan Smith – aren’t out here.

But it’s still FOOTBALL IN JUNE.

— Finally got eyes on the rookie WR Zay Flowers, and the kid is as electric as advertised. He did have two drops on the day (one in drills, another in 7-on-7), but every route he ran in both drills and scrimmages felt like he ran it at 120%, and every cut felt like he dropped on a dime.
