Ravens have big names
Baltimore added some big names and plenty of coaching experience. Weaver previously worked as the defensive line coach in Buffalo, Cleveland, Houston, and Baltimore, and served as the defensive coordinator in Miami for the past two seasons after departing the Ravens the same year Mike Macdonald joined the Seahawks. The Ravens added former Steelers running backs coach Eddie Faulkner and senior assistant Joe Lombardi, who was the Denver Broncos’ offensive coordinator against New England in the AFC Championship Game. Dwayne Ledford, the former running game coordinator and offensive line coach in Atlanta, joins the Raens fresh off turning Bijan Robinson into a star.
