Welcome into Lounge, presented by Draft Kings.

0:06.4

I'm Ryan Mink, here with Garrett Downing.

0:08.6

And we are here to give you our takeaways from Jesse Minter's introductory press conference

0:13.2

as the Ravens' new head coach.

0:15.3

And I think he handled it really well, came off really well, really excited to have Jesse

0:19.7

on board, and I think he's going to be a great addition here. Yeah, I think the phrase that gets thrown around this time of the year is, did you win the press conference? And I think he did win the press conference. I think everything that I've seen from him, from the time that he walked in the building Wednesday night, which was a really cool moment. I was here for that. And just to set the scene,

0:38.5

if you haven't looked at it already, go back and watch the video. And a number of, several members of the

1:21.3

1:25.3

had with him. You can see why Eric Takasta said that he blew them away in the interview process. And I think beyond the X's

1:32.1

nose and the schematic stuff and him being a defensive mastermind, the thing that stands

1:36.1

out to me about Jesse Minner from today's press conference and really since he arrived is

the authenticity that he has. Everything about the guy is just genuine. He's just himself.

1:47.3

You know, he wasn't there to seemingly put on a show at the press conference. You know, he,
