Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr has high expectations as he takes over the league's top defense.
As Zach Orr steps into his role as the Baltimore Ravens' defensive coordinator, it's fair to say that he has some high standards to live up to.
Orr, who served as the Ravens' inside linebackers coach before his promotion, inherits the NFL's top defense from last year. However, that defense has lost several key pieces such as Jadeveon Clowney, Patrick Queen and Geno Stone. Add in the fact that Orr is a first-time coordinator and one of the youngest in the league at just 32, and that's a lot of pressure to deal with.
In fact, CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin is among the people facing the most pressure this season, coach or player. "Baltimore boasted an elite defense in 2023 en route to its AFC title-game appearance, but Mike Macdonald is gone, leaving Orr to maintain a championship-level pace in his first gig as a defensive coordinator,"." Just 32 after only three years of experience as a position coach, the former Ravens linebacker is highly regarded but has plenty to prove as an entire unit's play-caller.
It will take some time for Orr to adjust to his new role, but with everyone in the organization behind him, there is full belief that he's the man for the job.
