It took Mike McDonald time to get the defense in order his first season as DC
Facts
Rashee Rice+Kelce+Mahomes + Andy Reid calling plays
Devontae Adams + some crazy calls from the refs that didn't go in the Ravens favor
Jamar Chase + Higgins...2 WR1s
Which defense wouldn't struggle?

Yup and Dak had to drop back 51 times against them
But they’ve consistently came up with a big play when they need to like that Humphrey int and the Madabuke sack on Sunday

Some hindsight for the doom n gloom. Ravens have played 3 of the top 4 QBs in the league.
Pat
Burrow
Allen.
defense should be better. we had Minshew on lock for 3.5 quarters

Who if any from this list, you think the Ravens should bring in?
Xavien Howard, Frank Clark, Corey Davis or Micah Hyde would be good situational guys IMO.
I say Howard for obvious reasons with the secondary struggling.
Clark would help force Harrison exactly where he needs to be, to special teams.
Wouldn't hurt kicking the tires on a receiver. Corey's a big guy that could help move the chains potentially...if he can stay healthy.
Hyde could help them part ways with Eddie Jackson and maybe raise the level of Marcus Williams who seems to be playing tentatively so far.

Ravens hire dean pees as an advisor to Orr 
. Because that’s what the defense needs. A coach who telegraphs all his blitzes, only ever blitzes through the middle of the line, always plays his defensive backs at least 8-12 yards off the receivers, teaches the worst tackling technique in the league, always leads the league in blown coverages and blown 4th quarter leads, never makes any adjustments, and never makes sure his top corners cover the top receivers on the other team 
. Why not bring cam or Trestman back while we’re at it? Hiring back a 
assistant who was a miserable failure from beginning to end is a fireable offense for whoever made this call.

The Ravens hired former defensive coordinator Dean Pees as a senior adviser, a source told ESPN.
You kinda get the sense, they're setting Zac up for failure bringing on Pees.Ravens hire dean pees as an advisor to Orr

I’d rather have Greg Mattison back if I had to pick between the two and he was so bad they should’ve left him behind in Pittsburgh to find his own way home after how his defense forgot to show up for the second half of that playoff game in 2010. Cam was less harmful to the offense than this guy was to the defense. All they had to do was keep Billick or promote Rex in January of 2008You kinda get the sense, they're setting Zac up for failure bringing on Pees.

. Horrid doesn’t do it justice. He might be the worst coach at any level this team has ever had on its payroll. Maybe the worst defensive mind I’ve ever seen. He’s the guy who cost the pats an undefeated season calling a run blitz on 2nd and 10 from the 12 yard line in an obvious passing situation with 40 seconds left and left a 5’8 corner alone in the red zone with a 6’5 receiver. Then he called that same blitz for us with Super Bowl 47 on the line on 4th and 5 yards 
. Harbaugh is 100% just looking to cover his own ass and will throw anyone under the bus it takes to save himself with this move.

Tbf that Matt Elam pick during his second season as DC set the team back some. And the D was on the field so much becuz they couldn’t run due to Ray Rice falling off a cliff. Then ironically they lost Orr to that neck injury. But Pees had a top 10 D every year but two. I don’t have a problem with them bringing him back at all if that’s who Orr is comfortable withthese nikkas bringing Swiss Pees back

Meh if Pees is just an advisor I don’t see any issue, as long as he’s not gonna be calling plays again
