Ravens have largest defensive front in football
http://extramustard.si.com/2013/05/1...hy-of-one-ton/
People worrying about Arthur Browns size (even though he weighs 241 lbs) should stop worrying, because he's surrounded by a bunch of elephants. According to that article we are close to weighing a ton up front. Hopefully this will help us improve our run defense, which was embarrassingly bad by Ravens standards last year, teams were running up and down on us all over the park. It seems that this year we are getting back to winning in the trenches on both sides of the ball, the Oline and the Dline look strong this year, both were areas of major weakness last year in the regular season.

Re: Ravens have largest defensive front in football
We had that weight last year. Didn't help when our nose tackle was manhandled by small centers. So let's hope Williams can start.

Re: Ravens have largest defensive front in football
My ex-girlfriend told me that "size doesn't matter." Hmmm, perhaps that's why she's my ex.
Anyway football-wise, I think adding veterans (Canty and Spears), drafting Williams, and a healthy Ngata, will elevate our Dline back to it's normal brick wall vs. the run... Bc

Re: Ravens have largest defensive front in football
Its not about the size for me. Its about production.
Canty and Spears are vets who still appear to be productive. Kemo is a guy I like but he pretty bad last year IMO. Williams is a guy with upside and is a viable alternative to Cody. I look at our defensive front and see a more athletic group and frankly with the exception of the rookie (Williams) a group that is proven in the past to be more productive“A linebacker's job is to knock out running backs, to knock out receivers, to chase the football,”
