Zach Orr Says He Isn’t Worried About His Job Security as Ravens’ Defense Struggles

John Harbaugh reiterated that firing the coordinator is not the answer.

Overview

  • Through five weeks, Baltimore has allowed the most touchdowns, passing yards and rushing yards in franchise history and has forced just two takeaways, tied for 31st in the NFL.
  • The Ravens are 1-4 after a third straight game allowing 35-plus points, and some fans have pushed for senior assistant Chuck Pagano to replace Orr.
  • Harbaugh reaffirmed support for Orr this week, and players have defended the coaching while pointing to poor execution as the primary issue.
  • Personnel losses have mounted, with Pro Bowl lineman Nnamdi Madubuike out for the season and pass rusher Odafe Oweh traded to bolster the secondary with safety Alohi Gilman.
  • Orr said preparation now centers on the Rams and that the staff must get more creative to generate pressure, with Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey returning this week while Roquan Smith and Chidobe Awuzie remained out Thursday.
