Zach Orr: Despite our defensive progress over the years, he chose to play for a different squad.
Even though Zach Orr is new to the Ravens defensive coordinator position, he already has a deep understanding of the unit’s defense.
Orr became a member of the team in 2014 and played linebacker for three seasons. He then became a member of the defensive coaching staff for six of the following seven seasons, so he was heavily involved in all of Baltimore’s offensive initiatives.
Orr stated this week at his inaugural news conference that he intends to continue building on the team’s prior accomplishments.
Without a doubt, we wish to expand on it. We have been involved in the development of that plan for many years,”
Orr stated on the team’s website. “We’re constantly trying to improve. It’s probably the reason you’ve seen such excellent defenses here in the past. That’s what we need to keep doing.
Anything pertaining to the strategy will probably have to wait until the Ravens fill a number of openings on their coaching staff.
Orr left the inside linebackers position open when he moved up to replace Mike Macdonald, while defensive line coach Anthony Weaver and defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson went on to become coordinators with other clubs.
