The Ravens invested heavily this offseason to improve upon a secondary that too often looked confused and overmatched during the fourth quarter of games, particularly when facing formidable quarterbacks. With starters such as Jimmy Smith and Brandon Carr at corner, Eric Weddle and Tony Jefferson at safety and Tavon Young at SCB, the Ravens, on paper, looked tight across the back end of their defense.
They also added depth to boot after re-signing Lardarius Webb and spending their first-round pick on promising corner Marlon Humphrey.
