Anthony Weaver is no stranger to instilling a cutthroat mindset.<\/p>\n
He did it in Miami, where he was the Dolphins’ defensive coordinator for the past two seasons and made headlines for his honest assessment at a press conference.<\/p>\n
“I’m old school – I may sit up here, I’m a nice guy, I smile, I do all those things – but all of our problems that we need to solve can be solved through violence,” Weaver said. “Defensive football, at some point you draw a line in the sand, and you say, ‘I’m going to set the edge. I’m going to stick my helmet under this guy’s chin and I’m going to set the edge.'”<\/p>\n
Weaver is now returning to Baltimore with that same mentality, only this time as the Ravens’ defensive coordinator.<\/p>\n
Ahead of his introductory press conference on Wednesday, Weaver sat down with “The Lounge” podcast. He said, “It means everything” to return to Baltimore after spending four seasons as a defensive lineman and three seasons as a coach with the Ravens.<\/p>\n
Weaver also described what he wants the Ravens defense to look like this fall.<\/p>\n
“I want out guys, when they finish the game, to [give] 60 minutes of hell,” Weaver said. “When you play us, you’re going to know you left a fight. We’re going to try and hit everything, fly around, play connected, play together, and just do all we can to make sure that you play a game that was 60 minutes of hell.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Weaver is no stranger to instilling a cutthroat mindset.
