The Ravens announced last week that former All-Pro linebacker turned linebackers coach Zach Orr would be promoted to defensive coordinator after the departure of Mike Macdonald. On Tuesday, the Ravens and Orr held an introductory press conference. Here are my takeaways from the nearly 30-minute presser.
No John Harbaugh?
When sitting down, it was noted that there was only one chair and no Diet Coke at the table, meaning it wasn’t likely that Head Coach John Harbaugh would be joining Orr for the introduction for its full length. Though it would’ve been nice to have Harbaugh as he was beside Macdonald for his introductory presser, some expected it to be like Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken’s introduction, where he gave an opening remark and exited, likely fueled by the Lamar Jackson contract drama.
