Then came a more pointed reaction about the previous regime. One fan wrote, “Yeah they hated Harbs.”
The comment referenced longtime Ravens coach John Harbaugh and reflected how some supporters are already comparing the atmosphere under Minter with what came before.
Another fan wrote, “The Super Bowl documentary is going to be elite, man.”

The Ravens also have football developments giving fans reasons for optimism. Baltimore opened its preseason with a 24-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles and then traveled to Minnesota for joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings. The Ravens are scheduled to play Minnesota on Aug. 22 before facing the Washington Commanders on Aug. 28.
Minter is also monitoring several important players as the regular season approaches. Starting cornerbacks Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey have returned from injuries, while Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike is expected to increase his participation.
Eminem’s song video cannot predict what Baltimore will accomplish this season. But for Ravens fans, seeing Minter connect with his players has given them another reason to like what they are seeing.
