More often than not, team’s who lose key players, both younger and older, suffer a huge drop in production and quality of play. We see it all the time. Teams will have to make tough decisions and end up losing two-or-three valuable players to a unit and it gets completely derailed. For the Baltimore Ravens, that was all throughout the team’s defense.
Gone are veterans Eric Weddle and Terrell Suggs, as well as 2018 breakout performer Za’Darius Smith and perennial Pro Bowler C.J. Mosley. With that, Baltimore has lost its two leading sack-artists from 2018, a future Hall of Fame safety in Weddle (who was also a valuable team leader), and one of the best young linebackers in the league in Mosley.
