After the firing of Mike Vrabel in Tennessee, the Titans have requested permission from the Ravens to interview defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald for the vacancy.
Macdonald is in his second season as the Baltimore defensive coordinator after arriving from Michigan where he served in the same capacity under Ravens coach John Harbaugh’s brother, Jim.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Commanders have requested an interview for Baltimore Ravens defensive assistant Anthony Weaver.
Weaver, 43, was a second-round pick by the Ravens in 2002 and played four seasons in Baltimore.
He returned to the team to coach the defensive line in 2021 and has been on John Harbaugh’s staff for three seasons. In 2022, he was promoted to assistant head coach.
Former Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin, perhaps sour over rejection, used Friday’s episode of Fox Sports’ “Undisputed” to tear Dalvin Cook’s decision to sign with the Baltimore Ravens over his former employers.
Multiple reports linked both the Ravens and Cowboys to the four-time Pro Bowler’s services but he made his move to Charm City official on Friday.
That didn’t sit well with Irvin, who felt that Cook would’ve been able to make a more noticeable impact on Dallas’ fortunes.
“I think it’s a poor decision on Dalvin Cook’s part,” Irvin said.
Why and how are you going to prove your worth when (Baltimore is) already where they are (as a rushing offense)? How can you tell these other teams that you (create) an impact.
To Irvin’s point, Cook may be looking to impress in a relatively short period considering the the dwindling market for seasoned running backs, no matter how impressive their resumes may be.
Whereas Cook is set to join a Baltimore rushing attack that has gotten over the losses of JK Dobbinson and Keaton Mitchell with a steady attack of Gus Edwards and Justice Hill (not to mention the dual-threat talents of Lamar Jackson), Dallas is ailing in the run game.
incumbent leading rusher Tony Pollard has struggled in his first days as the undisputed top backfield option and backups Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaught are both nursing injuries.
