Harbaugh needs to call himself out. He’s the one that decided to go with a rookie Defensive Coordinator in a Super Bowl expectation year. To add to that, Harbaugh brought Dean Pees in to be a defensive consultant even though his philosophy is a conservative, read and react, bend but don’t break approach which is totally different from what Mike Macdonald did last year. The Ravens’ players are trained to play aggressive, fast, and physical so they are asked to reprogram their habits in the middle of the season. The first 2 games the defense didn’t play terrible. I contribute their problems to Orr adjusting to calling plays. The Raider’s loss wasn’t on the defense alone. It was the combination of the offense not putting their foot on the pedal and bad officiating as well. In the Cowboys’ game, the defense dominated for 3 quarters and again the offense didn’t keep their foot on the pedal which Lamar called out and caused the defense to be on the field too much resulting in a tired defensive unit. Our defense totally dominated the Bills while playing aggressive, fast, and physical. The Bengals’ game we can put on the players however, it was a divisional game against Joe Borrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins which is a problem for any team. Dean Pees was hired after that game and we’ve been playing read and react for the majority of the time since which doesn’t look like the scheme that works for the players.
Are you kidding? The Ravens defense was horrible in that Raiders game. They let Gardner Minshew throw almost 300 yards on them. I get that Lamar said they shouldn't have let up off the gas, but it shouldn't be an offenses job to score 40 points in every game. That's not sustainable if you want to win the super bowl.
It was a in house move there are no open coordinaters at that time he worked with Mike so they figured he can have a chance and the rest of the staff went too it’s not just Zach it’s like 4 other rookie coaches along side him they took acouple of our best coaches reason why defense was so good last year it’s not just one guy

@@codsworth9950 The Raider’s game was included in the first 2 games in which I said Orr was adjusting to making calls. However the defense played well for 3 quarters.
I'm not a football savant but I believe when a team has limited weapons as bengles did Thursday with Higgins out, and chase slashing the defense. You'd think they double team chase at all times. They should have told williams to follow chase and never let him get behind you effectively double teaming him. If burrow would have slashed the defense with someone else then I could live with it but to let 1 player destroy u like tht is I insane. I thought the same thing in afc championship with kelce. Why he wasn't consistently doubled and taken out the equation is beyond me. Next week if Pickens start gashing them then double him up. If they beat them with williams then fine. But don't let there star player get rolling. I know easier said then done but then again mabe there over complicating it
For the most part, I followed Roquan Smith and Marcus Williams career. Roquan always been a decent cover LB and Marcus Williams was a above average cover guy. He always had crazy range. The drop off is insane. Idk what’s going on. I guess a new DC can be part of the reason but still…
Cole Jackson just dropped a video that I feel would benefit ravens fans. B Steph has been getting beat and what I’m about to say doesn’t excuse his play, but a good portion of Stephan’s botched plays are on Marcus Williams. After watching the video road graders breaks down that Stephan’s is using certain leverages under the assumption that Williams is going to be over the top, and Marcus is roaming around in no man’s land instead of doing his assignment. I’ve mentioned something along these lines in the comments of past videos, it didn’t make sense how Stephan’s was a solid corner last year and then all the sudden a year later he’s atrocious. Well thanks to Cole we have been able to pin point a big reason for that, Williams is leaving assignments and floating into areas he’s not suppose to be. Now Stephan’s has his own issues with how he plays the ball but people knocking his leverage on blown plays….. that actually falls on Williams who clearly looks lost and it looks like he didn’t even study the playbook. Like unc said you ain’t ed reed, Troy P, you don’t have the range or instincts nor the pedigree to be doing your own thing. Stick to your job!
It’s about time! Be a HC and call your defense out!!! Call out your DC! They’re not playing Ravens Defense! It’s bad! Hard to watch our LBs and Secondary get torched like they are. Let’s Go Ravens!!! Tighten Up! #PlayLikeARaven!!! 😤💪🏾🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛💜💜💜💜
Marcus Williams is our free safety, wtf are you talking about lmao. On the season Williams has allowed a 158.3 (perfect) passer rating on passes targeting him, the worst of our entire secondary. He was the one who choked on both of Chase's long TD's against us, if you "watch all 22 film" you would know that. You fake AF! How on earth is this the top comment? Ravens fans really setting a low bar for ourselves today.
😂😂😂 right bro how yall gonna blame our lbs when this man marcus williams just stops running and gives up and looks lost. Disgusting defensive effort@@ianfitchett2768
@@ChopItUpWithKamRu it’s a combo of a lot of things, but watch road graders recent vid Stephan’s is using outside leverage on Chase assuming Williams is going to be over the top and he wasn’t. That was on the big 4th quarter Chase td
The first line of pass defense is the D Line. It is important to utilize “shot blockers.” That is, pass rushers that are adept at getting hands up to deflect passes. Urban, Hamilton and Van Noy are good at this . Oweh is terrible with his hands which are always too low. He should be given fewer snaps.
They need to play both but pick the right time to play man, 3rd and 5 or short play man , 2nd and 5 or shorter play zone, that’s when team like the deep ball
No, they don't!! There are so many teams that suck on a consistent basis, while the Ravens are always in the playoffs and at the top of the AFC. That's a credit to Harbaugh and EDC. They just need to get past the Chiefs, and the Ravens aren't the only team that's had a problem doing that.
This right here. Not saying there aren't problems on the back end, but the pass rush has been just as inconsistent as the pass coverage. Any time a team gets a semi-consistent pass rush, it automatically makes the secondary better.
You know what amazes me? People Who have podcasts, and sports shows, acting like they have better suggestions than coaches and GM's? That's so silly!!!
Well apparently this head coach has nothing but words to answer questions along with next door neighbor him is perfectly fine with the worst defense in ravens history!!!! 🙄🤷
And covering backs and TE out the backfield is a problem, the back or TE catches the ball around the line scrimmage and runs for 7 and 8 yards, it sets up the 3rd and 2’s. Which is hard to defend. My opinion that is a big if not bigger problem, it’s setting up all the deep shots and intermediate passes.
Orr was responsible for lbs and blitz packages and I think it shows based on the lack of detail in pass coverage. Hope he can just learn enough on the fly and get it together by playoffs
Hes a saftey tho, they put him in a whole other position and its not working, he doesnt turn his head, he is much more of a threat at the safety spot than a corner
Theres no reason people should be wide tf open, theres terrible teams that have a better secondary than we do, no moves made at all Brandon Stephens is a safety his not a corner, thats why he doesnt turn his head, idk wtf Marcus has been doing, the shit pisses me off bad
More man and more pressure will give them better results. You just can’t let today’s qbs sit back and pick you apart. Of course they need to take a look at situations and at an offense’s tendencies, but they need to do something differently as this just ain’t workin’.
Ro is in the middle maybe the safeties have been attempting to cover more ground because he gets beat in coverage and because he’s paid 100m Orr won’t sit his ass down
The way the Ravens win the SB is simple. Please pass this on so it gains steam in time for the playoffs. The Ravens need to go for a 2pt conversion everytime. With Lamar, Henry, Andrews, Ricard, and Flowers... there's a 90% chance we'll convert each attempt. Shooting a 3pt vs a 2pt. Aka Steph Curry on the football field. Now opponents need an additional possession to beat us.
Nobody wants to talk about the truth Roquan is overpaid he’s playing like ass an not a superstar Brandon Stephen’s was always a one hit wonder Marcus Williams has a lack of willingness to tackle and he was benched for a reason, play the two young UDFA safeties they are hungry and if they mess up at least they will care at max effort. Nate Wiggins should play way more
It’s week 11 lol. Stop talking about fixing the defense. AND DO IT. Orr needs to do better. Players need to do better. Take Marcus Williams tf out of the safety spot. He doesn’t wanna play anymore.
I wonder if Wiggins could transition over to safety…🤔 He can cover a lot of ground quickly and he can track the ball. Keep Stephens and Marlo where they are, Brandon just needs to get his head turned around on these plays.
What in the hell are you talking about?!?! He ain’t no damn future CB1! Wiggins is too damn light in the ass! He’ll never be able to cover Top WRs alone. I’m not saying yo won’t be decent or that he’ll be a bust, but he’s not going to be CB1…if so, we’re definitely in trouble when Marlo goes. I was never hyped over Wiggins. He’s made some plays but I don’t see him being our CB1.

Queen wasn't much until roquan came in, stop the cap.... And last I checked the ravens lost 3 coaches not to mention the coordinator for a head coaching job this off-season, but yeah nothing that was worth mentioning right?! State facts not fiction
That is a fact, Queen was the one covering the RBS and TEs or WRs not Smith! Go watch last year footage! I'm ravens fan, but I'm call out how I see it! You just nut hugging goofy!
