Ravens should take a page from Denver and concentrate on building defensive talent

If Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome needs to be convinced where the team should spend money this season, then hopefully he watched Super Bowl 50 on Sunday.

Denver's defense isn't as great as the Ravens of 2000, but the Broncos brought back a lot of memories. They forced the Carolina Panthers into submission with two fumbles, one interception and seven sacks.

Final score: Denver 24, Carolina 10.

There isn't much else left to say. The Ravens need to go back to being old school. They have done well in finding defensive talent in the past as opposed to having less success on offense, and have drafted and developed such outstanding players as linebackers Ray Lewis, Peter Boulware and Jamie Sharper, cornerback Chris McAlister and safety Ed Reed.
