The Baltimore Ravens haven’t seemed to be too concerned in recent years about losing pass rushers, whether it was Za’Darius Smith, or more recently Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue. One of the reasons that they rarely panic is because they, more than perhaps any other team, recognize that they have the entire calendar to rework their roster as necessary.
Such as bringing in veteran pass rusher Justin Houston in the middle of training camp, as they’ve done this year. The former Pro Bowler, who admits that he very nearly signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers before they were forced to ‘settle’ for Melvin Ingram, has seemed to fit right into their system, and has already become a mentor to their young first-round edge rusher, Odafe Oweh.
