John Harbaugh, the head coach of the Baltimore Ravens, gave a vote to confidence to his defense after a 37-20 defeat in Kansas City on Monday.
Harbaugh stated that he had confidence in his players and coaches, as well as [Defensive Co-ordinator] Zach Orr.
I watch them every day. I observe how they work. I observe how they work. I attend meetings and I observe them. I am familiar with our plans. I can judge the quality of our work. “I know what we are up against week after week and game to play.”
Baltimore’s defensive unit has allowed the second most yards (406.6 per game) as well as the third-most points (33.3) in the NFL. Only three teams have less takeaways (2), and only one team has less sacks (4).
The Ravens’ defense has also been hit by a rash of injuries, which will make it more difficult to rebound.
is expected to be absent from multiple games for inside linebacker Roquan (hamstring), and cornerback Marlon (calf). Nate Wiggins, a cornerback who was injured with an elbow in Sunday’s defeat, also left the game early. All of the defensive line’s starters are injured. Nnamdi madubuike is out for the season.
In Kansas City, the Ravens had to rely heavily on their reserves. Five rookies were playing defense at one point against Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs’ offense. The Chiefs punted only once in the entire game.
Harbaugh felt better after watching the Ravens lose in Kansas City than he had on the sidelines.
Harbaugh stated, “I felt much better after watching the video. “I thought there were a lot really good plays going on.” I thought the issues were easily identifiable and sometimes resulted from some very tight plays made by them.
The Chiefs’ offense was in good shape and Xavier Worthy, a speedy wide-receiver, returned to the field. Mahomes threw four touchdowns and showed a high-level of execution. The Ravens limited the Chiefs’ third-down conversions to 5/15, while Kansas City converted 4/4 on fourth-down.
Harbaugh stated that the Ravens must “create something” in defense, such as sacks and takeaways. He also mentioned tackles for losses, tackles with loss of yardage, etc.
Harbaugh stated, “We’re still not far behind on defense.” “I’m confident we will play a really good defense in this year,” Harbaugh said. I am.
“I’m sure fans have heard that and I hope that they feel a bit more confident that we’ve already been down this path a bit. We need to be healthy. It’s also important. “But also, let’s play with the players we have and let’s play some good defence.”
