Eisenberg: Rough Week For Ravens Defensive Thirtysomethings
This week sent a clear message that the team wants to get younger and faster and also find new leadership.
It wasn’t the best of weeks for Ravens defensive thirtysomethings.
First, inside linebacker Daryl Smith was released Thursday morning. Then, a few hours later, the Ravens parted ways with defensive end Chris Canty. Then outside linebacker Terrell Suggs was arrested and briefly jailed in Arizona early Friday morning for driving with a suspended license.
All three players are 33 years old.
The crisis in the Ravens’ department of veterans affairs sends a loud-and-clear message that the team wants and needs to get younger and faster and also find new leadership on that side of the ball.
