If defensive tackle Carl Davis starts the first game of his rookie season Sunday against the Denver Broncos in place of the injured Timmy Jernigan, he'll have a lot more than just a game's worth of responsibility weighing on him.
Jernigan, who is the man tabbed to replace Haloti Ngata after the Pro Bowl defensive lineman was traded to the Detroit Lions in March, and Davis represent the most recent additions to a defensive line group that throughout the Ravens history has been the franchise's premier strength, due to its depth and continuity among the coaches and players.
