The Baltimore Ravens defense was once famed for a front-seven with remarkable players like Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, and Haloti Ngata. For years, Baltimore churned out dominant defensive fronts annually. Behind a strong leader at middle linebacker in guys like Lewis and C.J. Mosley, to savvy vets outside like Suggs and Peter Boulware, the Ravens defense has always been built up front.
While this isn’t to slight the team’s secondary, it’s never been the defense’s strength. Its always held its end of the bargain behind stars like Ed Reed and Chris McAlister, and its had plenty of players come through on their long, storied careers like Rod Woodson and Eric Weddle.
