Losing quality players on one side of the ball oftentimes cripples the unit. So far, Baltimore’s defense is down from first overall last year to seventh this year, meaning there’s more to the defense than the losses.

ILB Bart Scott took his business elsewhere to get out of ILB Ray Lewis’ shadow. S Jim Leonhard pairs with another Pro Bowl-caliber safety, exchanging Ed Reed for Kerry Rhodes.

kes all the difference.
Players – Gang Green has a pair of safetys (Kerry Rhodes and Jim Leonhard) that are very good blitzers. ILB Bart Scott is excellent coming from any direction. Behind them are cornerbacks they trust in one-on-one situations (Darrell Revis and Lito Sheppard). Not every team has all those elements on their defense.
