Ravens Target Falcons Run Game Coordinator Dwayne Ledford for O-Line Coach: Report

Baltimore signals urgency to repair pass protection following a season of heavy four-man pressure.

Overview

  • Ledford tops Baltimore’s wish list for offensive line coach, according to The Athletic as relayed by Heavy, with no agreement announced.
  • The Ravens fielded a top-five rushing attack in 2025 but allowed a 42.2% pressure rate without blitzing despite a 3.1-second average time to throw, per Sharp Analysis.
  • Lamar Jackson faced pressure on 23.6% of dropbacks and posted a career-low 72.3% accuracy rate last season, underscoring protection problems.
  • Right guard Daniel Faalele played 100% of snaps over the past two seasons but was charged with 30 pressures, 23 hurries and 3 sacks and is entering free agency.
  • Ledford, Atlanta’s line coach and run game coordinator since 2021, built a zone-focused ground game that adapted to Bijan Robinson’s emergence, who totaled 2,934 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns over the past two seasons.
