Baltimore Ravens linebackers Tavius Robinson, Mike Green, and defensive end Aeneas Peebles are working with a renowned pass rush coach.

The Baltimore Ravens have a lot of work to do on the pass rush side of things, even with the addition of Trey Hendrickson. Hendrickson is not an every-down player, which is why the current linebackers must evolve in 2026.

It appears that is what the goal is for three Ravens defenders, as linebackers Tavius Robinson and Mike Green, along with defensive end Aeneas Peebles, are getting to work before OTAs. Renowned pass rush coach Chris Peace posted a video of the pair working out with one another, fine-tuning their skills.

The shared video shows Peace coaching Robinson, Green, and Peebles working on pushing their opponents' hands away while getting around to get after the presumed quarterback.

Peace also captioned the video with:

"First day in Baltimore with a couple of Ravens pass rushers.

"Day 1 = slowing it down and building new habits."

Peace is a former NFL linebacker, appearing in games with the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants in 2019. He would transition into coaching following his playing career and serves as a junior defensive analyst for Utah State. 

It is important that the pass rush improves, as the 2025 season left a lot to be desired. This is why general manager Eric DeCosta and the organization made a move to bring in Maxx Crosby, which failed, leading to the addition of Hendrickson.

DeCosta also indicated that the plan was to have Crosby and Hendrickson be paired together, which the world may never see now. 

That said, the Ravens still have some solid players who can take the next leap.

Robinson began to show some good flashes, as he appeared in 10 games and started seven. In that limited time, he brought in 4.5 sacks and 10 quarterback hits. Of his 451 defensive snaps, he had 173 run defense snaps and 261 pass rush snaps.

Green appeared in 17 games and started two. As a rookie, he still made an impact, bringing in 3.5 sacks and 14 quarterback hits. He played 713 defensive snaps, with 274 run defense snaps, and 399 pass rush snaps.

Peebles only played 71 defensive snaps and did not produce any sacks. However, he clearly wants to ensure he can get more opportunities in 2026 by working alongside Robinson and Green to elevate his pass rush skills.

The Ravens have a new head coach in Jesse Minter and the return of Anthony Weaver, who now steps in as defensive coordinator under Minter. Both are strong and well-respected defensive minds in the NFL.

They can work with one another to build a plan to get the most out of the young and potentially dangerous players on defense.

If Baltimore's pass rush can elevate in a big way, it will greatly help the secondary, which is led by All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey. With the addition of linebacker Roquan Smith in the mix, this defense has the components needed to ensure the struggles of 2025 become a thing of the past.
