Zach Orr's first regular season game as defensive coordinator will be against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Facing the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes is a tall task for any defensive coordinator, let alone one in their first game in that role.
"They can score from any part of the field because obviously, Andy Reid is a great coach, but Patrick Mahomes is obviously a problem,". "He can beat you with his legs. He can beat you with his arm from every part of the field, and they have great players around him, so that's what makes them tough to defend."
While Orr is in a new role, he hasn't changed one bit in the eyes of his players, particularly All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith. Given everything Orr has overcome to get to this point, Smith is excited to see how Orr performs on Thursday night. The Ravens were arguably the best defense in the NFL last season, allowing the fewest points per game while also leading the league in turnovers. While much of the unit is the same, they lost important pieces with the departures of outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, linebacker Patrick Queen and safety Geno Stone in free agency.
