Patrick Onwuasor had 5.5 sacks last year. He had two of them against the Titans when the Ravens had 11 sacks on Marcus Mariota. Onwuasor also sacked Phillip Rivers twice in the Ravens’ big week 16 win over the Chargers. One of the major questions for the Ravens is where the pass rush is going to come from. Onwuasor could be a secret weapon as a blitzing inside linebacker.
Don Martindale is a defensive coordinator who loves his defense to crowd the line of scrimmage and make the other team play a guessing game. Good blitzing linebackers are key for this because the defense has to be able to deliver on the threat of backfield chaos.
