Vega Ioane says details and technique are key to his success

Vega Ioane’s Technique Comes From Obsessing Over the Details

The difference between good and reliable often comes down to details. For Vega Ioane, that part of his game didn't happen by accident; it was drilled into him over time, and it's something he's carried forward. That attention to detail should translate well with the Baltimore Ravens, where consistency and technique will be emphasized across the board for all positions under new head coach Jesse Minter. For Vega Ioane, focusing on hand placement, footwork, and the smaller aspects of the position can often be the difference between winning and losing a rep. It’s an approach that not only sharpens his individual play but also aligns with the disciplined, fundamentally sound identity Baltimore expects from its linemen.

When asked how he developed into such a consistent, efficient lineman, Ioane made it clear where that foundation came from.

“It's a big shoutout to my offensive line coach [Phil Trautwein]. That was one thing he harped on a lot was being detailed as an offensive lineman. It was either being detailed in the meeting room or out on the field. It's all about focusing on technique stuff and getting your hands here rather than there, and getting your foot in there in the run game. But, I focus a lot on the little details rather than the big thing.”

That mindset translates. At this level, where everyone is talented, it's the details that separate players. And Ioane already understands that.
