Ravens vs. Commanders: Roquan Smith wants to lay down the law on QB Jayden Daniels

Baltimore Ravens LB Roquan Smith is ready for the week 6 challenge vs. Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels.

Nobody on the Baltimore Ravens roster wants to re-establish defensive dominance more than inside linebacker Roquan Smith does.

Smith was emphatic when his unit held all-pro Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen to just 10 points in week four and he certainly has his mind set on putting a half to the red hot Washington Commanders pass offense.

The Ravens still rank No. 1 in the NFL in rush yards allowed per game but issues on the backend have been a blemish to success.

Although all-pro safety Kyle Hamilton chimed in on the defensive shortcomings, it is actually Hamilton’s absence from the third-level, his deployment inside the box that is leaving an unfilled void in the secondary.

Smith and defensive coordinator Zach Orr will be looking to lay down the law on rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Ideally, Smith will want to nullify his scramble ability by spying him. However, this will leave the Ravens’ defensive backs in man coverage where they have shown to be inadequate.

Perhaps Smith and Orr can get things figured out this weekend at home.
