Baltimore Ravens: 3 Underrated Game Day Story Lines

1. Zach Orr Vs. Kamalei Correa

The battle to be the inside linebacker next to C.J. Mosley is one of the most under evaluated roster decisions the Ravens have to make. The focus has gone to the secondary but there are other positions that have question marks around them. The strong side inside linebacker spot boils down to two exciting players.

It looked like Correa was pegged to become the starter at this position. After all, he was the rookie generating all the buzz. When Dean Pees and company decided to move him to the inside linebacker position, it felt like a perfect fit. Orr has quietly made this an interesting battle. Orr is a more experienced player and he has had a good training camp. It was Orr who looked the best against the Carolina Panthers last week.

In the end, I think Correa is the best athlete for the job. Correa is the most athletic option at the position and he will be better against the pass than Orr. However Orr is a more polished player. It’s Orr’s job to lose and Correa’s job to earn.
