With Defense Flailing, Ravens Should Call Up Rex Ryan

The Baltimore Ravens have a storied history when it comes to defense. They won Super Bowl XXXV with a historically great defensive unit led by Ray Lewis. There was a time when being the Ravens’ defensive coordinator was like punching a ticket to be a NFL head coach. Marvin Lewis, Mike Nolan, Rex Ryan, and Chuck Pagano all left the defensive coordinator spot to become head coaches elsewhere. This offseason Mike Macdonald added his name to this list after having the Ravens lead the league in points allowed, takeaways, and sacks. The Ravens were supposed to have one of the strongest defenses in the NFL with former Ravens’ player Zachary Orr calling the defense.
