Baltimore Ravens commit to defensive identity with secondary investment

Historically, the Baltimore Ravens identity has been through a brute defense and stout running game. Last season all anyone could talk about was the offense while the defense quietly dominated opposing offenses. The front-seven was good, but the secondary was where the team really set the tone.

Baltimore finished sixth in the league in passing YPG at 207.2. Unsurprisingly, the secondary that shut down opposing passing games had three players make the Pro Bowl (Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters, Earl Thomas). Others like Chuck Clark and Jimmy Smith played well but were overshadowed by the aforementioned Pro Bowlers.
