By not re-signing outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw, the Baltimore Ravens made an addition by subtraction. For whatever Upshaw brought in run defense, his one-dimensional skill set and his horrifying play in space in coverage could not be kept on a defense that was trying to get faster and more versatile.
Linebacker Albert McClellan is a player cut from the same cloth. His lack of athleticism and pass rushing ability will hamper the team on early downs.
The Ravens are in a situation where it tcan decide what type of defense it wants to be. If inside linebacker Zachary Orr continues on the path he is on, he will beat out rookie linebacker Kamalei Correa.
