Zach Orr Takes Helm as Ravens' Defensive Coordinator Amid Rebuilding Challenges

At 31, Orr aims to maintain the Ravens' defensive prowess, facing the departure of key coaches and numerous free agents.

Zach Orr, the new defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens, faces the challenge of rebuilding a defense that led the league last season in sacks, takeaways, and points allowed per game.
Orr, at 31, is the second youngest defensive coordinator in the NFL and emphasizes a violent, physical play style.
The Ravens are dealing with the departure of key defensive coaches and more than 20 pending free agents, including several top defensive players.
Orr's hiring follows a tradition of promoting in-house candidates for the defensive coordinator position, continuing the Ravens' legacy of strong defensive leadership.
Despite the challenges, Orr is confident in his approach and the support from the Ravens organization, aiming to maintain the team's reputation for formidable defenses.
