Zachary Orr Exemplifying Ravens' Faster Defense

Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor scanned the field and saw nothing open, so he dumped a pass off to running back LeSean McCoy.

It was the Ravens’ first defensive snap of the season, and they were about to make a statement.

Inside linebacker Zachary Orr and safety Eric Weddle crashed down on the play and clobbered McCoy, igniting a loud cheer throughout M&T Bank Stadium.

A lot has been made of the addition of Weddle to the back end of the defense and young pass rushers to the front seven. But what’s gone relatively unnoticed is Orr, the third-year undrafted inside linebacker out of North Texas and only first-time starter on the Ravens defense.
