The Baltimore Ravens hired inside linebackers coach Zach Orr as their next defensive coordinator following Mike Macdonald's departure to the Seattle Seahawks. Orr doesn't have much coaching experience but played for three years in the NFL with Baltimore, which should certainly aid his transition.

Ravens outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy was asked about Orr and the style of defense that he will bring to the table in his new role. He refused to go into detail for competitive advantage reasons but differentiated what makes Orr different from Macdonald and said he's excited about the style he will employ.

"I don't think I'll go into the specifics of that, because they both stem from the same tree, right? But, they're both different at the same time. You know, Mike Macdonald had his style, and 'Z.O.' [Zach Orr] has his style. I'm excited about 'Z.O.''s style. I think it's going to continue to flood into the NFL because of what they've been able to do here for so long, and I believe we're going to be a very, very good defense. It starts with him, and then it starts with the rest of the players executing – all 11 of us – each and every play."

Orr is known for his passion, and he should make sure his defense is ultra-aggressive and flies around the football. The first-time defensive coordinator will have a defense full of stars and quality players around him, which should ease his transition as he gets acclimated.
