### **Alohi Gilman Made 'Seamless Transition' in First Game**
Alohi Gilman wasted no time making an impression on the Ravens' coaching staff.
Five days removed [from being traded from a team across the country](https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/alohi-gilman-traded-kyle-hamilton-kyle-van-noy-former-teammates-ravens-chargers-rams-week-6), Gilman played 83% of the defensive snaps against the Rams and finished with seven tackles.
Pagano said it was a "seamless transition" for Gilman, and it looked like he had been in Baltimore for years instead of just days.
Gilman had the team's highest tackling grade (83.3) and second-highest run defense grade (75.8), according to PFF, and helped hold Matthew Stafford to a season-low 181 passing yards.
Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr knew from the jump that Gilman was the right fit to help elevate the Ravens' defense.
"He was directing traffic his first day in practice, so I knew that it was going to be a good addition in the lineup with him, and he went out there and played well," Orr said. "The more comfortable he gets with the guys and our terminology, the better he's going to be."
Adding Gilman allowed Orr to put three safeties on the field and move Kyle Hamilton closer to the line of scrimmage. That tweak helped the Ravens have their best defensive showing since Week 2 against the Browns. It also gave Baltimore positive momentum heading into the bye.
"It was a step in the right direction," Orr said. "I told the guys that I thought that was the most intensity that we played with, and we started fast; that's what we were looking for. We have to get back to playing pissed off and with an edge."
