Harbaugh Confirms His Confidence in Defensive Coordinator Despite Ravens’ Loss<\/h2>\n\nBaltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh has expressed his support for defensive coordinator Zach Orr, despite the recent and overwhelming defeat to the Houston Texans with a score of 44-10. This loss adds to a series of defensive problems that have plagued the Ravens so far this season.\n\n\n
\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s the answer,\u201d Harbaugh said when asked about the possibility of changes to the defensive staff. \u201cWe have to work, that\u2019s what we need to do. We need to be united, that\u2019s what we need to do. We need to find ourselves. And that has to do with coaches and players working together.\u201d<\/p>\n\nJohn Harbaugh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe loss against the Texans marked the second time in franchise history, in its 30 years, that the Ravens have fallen to a 1-4 record. The team couldn’t stop quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Texans’ offense, allowing 44 points, the most conceded by the Ravens in a home game during Harbaugh’s 18 years as coach. Baltimore’s defense, which allowed five touchdowns to the Texans, has shown consistent difficulties throughout the season.\n\nDefensive issues have been a constant for Baltimore and Orr, who replaced Mike Macdonald in 2024 and is in his second season as defensive coordinator. The Ravens have conceded 177 points this season, the most in a five-game span in team history.\n\nOutside linebacker<\/em> Kyle Van Noy expressed the need to improve the team’s performance.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cWe have to fix this,\u201d Van Noy said. \u201cBeing brutally honest. The coaches can give us the plays, but we have to execute them. It doesn’t matter who’s out there. Do your job. If the coaches ask you to do something, do it. Myself included.\u201d<\/p>\n\nKyle Van Noy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nInjuries have also affected the Baltimore team. On Sunday, the Ravens were without seven players who were selected for the Pro Bowl last year, including two-time NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson.\n\nBaltimore has a 4-10 record in games without Jackson, who is out with a hamstring injury. This was the fifth consecutive loss without Jackson on the field. It is unknown if Jackson will be able to play next Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cNo excuses,\u201d Van Noy said. \u201cI just watched the San Francisco \u2018Niners\u2019 have injuries, go out and play football. There are no excuses for injuries. As professionals, we get paid to play, so we have to play better.\u201d<\/p>\n\nKyle Van Noy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nOther Pro Bowl players who couldn’t play with the Ravens were: safety Kyle Hamilton (groin), offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle), cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf), middle linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), fullback Patrick Ricard (calf), and defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck), who is out for the rest of the season. Baltimore was forced to field five rookies on defense to cover for the injured players.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cI thought we would play better,\u201d Harbaugh said. \u201cI thought we would tackle better. It didn\u2019t live up to expectations. We had good enough players to play a lot better than we did.\u201d<\/p>\n\nJohn Harbaugh<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe 34-point loss is the second-worst margin of defeat under Harbaugh and represents Baltimore’s biggest home loss since 2013.\n\nHarbaugh called the situation “a complete disappointment.”\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cThat’s a good question,\u201d Van Noy said. \u201cI think I’ll be able to answer that better after the week, to be honest, being completely honest. I feel like there’s responsibility, but we’ll see.\u201d<\/p>\n\nKyle Van Noy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
