Baltimore – Raven Coach John Harbo said he adheres to the defense coordinator Zak Orr after losing on Sunday 44-10 Houston TexasThe last protective crisis in the season, which continues the spiral for Baltimore.
“I don’t think this is an answer,” Harbo said when he was asked if he would consider changes with ORR and defender. “We must go to work, this is what we need to do. We need to hold together, this is what we need to do. We need to find ourselves. And this is due to coaches and players [working] together.”
Crows fell to 1-4 for the second time in the 30-year history of the franchise, because they could not stop the defender CJ Stroud And the crime of Texas. 44 points are most allowed by crows in home game in 18 seasons of Harbo as a coach. It was a low point for the protection of Baltimore, which allowed five landings to the team of Texas, which scored only six landings this season.
The struggle for protection was a trend during the season for Baltimore and Orra, which replaced Mike McDonald in 2024 and are in the second season as a player of the unit. The crows abandoned 177 points this season, most of them in five games in the history of the team.
“We must collect our S — Together,” the external midfielder Kyle van noy said. “Just be brutally honest. Coaches can give us plays, but we must fulfill. It doesn't matter who you are there. Do your job. [If the] Coaches ask you to do something, do it. I am turned on. “
If the season was not complicated enough for Baltimore, injuries have influenced. Raven on Sunday have been without seven Pro Bowl players since last year, including a two -time most valuable NFL player Lamar JacksonField
Baltimore fell to 4-10 in the games without Jackson, which is located away from the injury of the top of the top of the tendon. It was a fifth loss in a row when Jackson could not play. It is not known whether Jackson can play next Sunday against LOS -ANGELES RAMSField
“There are no excuses,” said Van Noah. “I just watched Niners with the injuries, go there and play football. No excuses for injuries. [As] Professionals, they pay you for the game, so we should play better. ”
Other Pro Bowl players installed on crows were: security Kyle Hamilton (groin), insulting gear Ronnie Stanley (ankle), corner defender Marlon Humphrey (calf), medium midfielder Rockuan Smith (Podoklain tendon), defender Patrick Ricard (calf) and protective tackle Nnamy is a maneat (neck), which came out for the season.

Crows run back Derrick Henry He said that he “definitely” believes that the messages of the coaches are related to the players.

When Van was asked if he saw sufficient responsibility after recent losses, he stopped five seconds before answering.
“This is a good question,” said Van Noah. “I think that I can answer it better after a week, to be honest – just honestly honestly. I feel that there is responsibility, but we will see. ”
