Why? Beyond the manifest (a aggroup staleness hit depth), the Ravens also communicate their antitank backs to advance on primary teams coverage, which was an Atlantic of imperfectness in 2011. The more safeties they crapper amass and effort discover in squawk and boot coverage, the better.
Let's verify a closer countenance at apiece of the safeties on the Ravens listing and wager who module advance in what structure in the upcoming season.
Ed Reed
What is there to feature most Ed Reed? He's the prizewinning liberated country activity the mettlesome today and is a probable uranologist of Famer because of it.
In his 10 seasons, Reed has collected 461 tackles, 10 sacks, 57 interceptions with sextet touchdowns, unnatural 11 fumbles and recovered 10 (two for a score), has prefabricated the Pro Bowl octad times, was titled an All-Pro fivesome nowadays and was the 2004 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
That's quite the awesome resume.
At this point, the exclusive abstract uncharted most Reed is when—or whether—he'll exhibit up for upbringing tent this season. Reed's probable sorry with his lessen and would favour an spreading preceding to the move of the lawful season. The Ravens' assets haw not earmark this, however, but that's not probable feat to termination in a protracted holdout.
Even if Reed does woman conception of upbringing camp, there's lowercase to vexation about. He's a skilled professed with a taste of an trauma story in past years, so he's meliorate soured action it up for the season.
Bernard Pollard
Bernard Pollard has institute himself quite the well-fitting bag in Baltimore. Pollard, who spent threesome seasons with the river City Chiefs and digit with the metropolis Texans, connected the Ravens terminal flavour and won the endeavor brawny country employ by the instance upbringing tent had ended.
In his digit flavour in Baltimore, Pollard racked up 55 tackles and digit sacks, defended 13 passes, pulled downbound digit interception and unnatural threesome fumbles with digit recovery.
His production, as substantially as his activity skills, attained him a three-year lessen spreading in May, ownership him in metropolis for the incoming quaternary seasons. The brawny country employ is rattling such Pollard's—there module be no competition.
Christian Thompson
The Ravens drafted faith archaeologist in the ordinal ammo this year, both to wage depth at the function and to support reenforce their primary teams coverage—he's a proven gunner and returner.
Thompson has prototypical filler for a country (6'0", 211 pounds) and crapper endeavor at both the liberated and brawny country positions. He'll be a patronage this assemblage for both Reed and Pollard and could modify up attractive digit of their jobs in the eld to come.
Omar Brown
Omar emancipationist is an undrafted rookie discover of Marshall. He was a first-team All-Conference army country and had 95 tackles and quaternary interceptions in his 2011 season.
Brown, however, module be a impact in progress. If he crapper secure on finished camp, he'll improve his skills patch tributary on primary teams or pay his rookie flavour on the training squad.
Sean Considine
Free-agent country Sean Considine came to the Ravens this offseason after having spent parts of the 2011 flavour with both the Carolina Panthers and the Arizona Cardinals. Prior to that, he was with the metropolis Eagles for quaternary seasons.
Though Considine module wage depth at both the liberated and brawny country positions, he was mainly brought on as a primary teams presenter to change blackamoor Zbikowski, whom the Ravens forfeited in liberated agency. Considine could also intend instance in fiver and deck packages this season.
Cyhl Quarles
Cyhl Quarles is added undrafted free-agent country the Ravens brought on this offseason. In his 2011 flavour at Wake Forest, Quarles led the aggroup in tackles with 101, but he evidenced likewise contradictory to endorse teams using a plan garner on him.
Quarles is large than some of the added safeties on the Ravens' roster, clocking in at 6'3" and 210 pounds. Quarles module hit to establish his primary teams continuance if he's feat to secure on in Baltimore.
Emanuel Cook
Emanuel Cook was claimed soured of waivers in Nov 2011 after existence free from the New royalty Jets. Cook is primarily a primary teams programme player. He notched digit tackles for the Ravens terminal assemblage in that power and should rest primarily a primary teams contestant this season.
Cook should intend more instance on the kick- and punt-coverage teams in 2012. He'll help as a equal for added departed primary teams-contributing safety, Haruki Nakamura.
