4. Zach Orr Has Won The Starting Spot

It looked like Kamalei Correa was pegged to be the starting strong side interrior linebacker. That job is going to Zach Orr. Orr played well last season when a 5-11 season saw his role increase. Orr is a physical linebacker with an agressive mindset. He has been a pleasure to watch this preseason.

Orr is the most sure tackling player the Ravens can put next to C.J. Mosley. Orr was given the benefit of the starting role because he was here first. Correa has not been able to steal the job. Orr has taken advantage of it.

The biggest question facing the front seven was who would fill Daryl Smith’s shoes? We just found our answer, Orr has earned it.
