Ravens Defense: How do they keep doing this?

I can't think of too many additions to this defense since the Super Bowl title year, yet these guys consistently are among the best or are the best defense in football. They currently rank 1 and 1 against the pass and run.

How do they keep doing it? Scheme or Fountain of Youth?

Ray-Ray is the key. When he racks up double digit tackles and most for modest gains to losses this team is incredible. Ozzie Newsome is also a fantastic judge of talent most years.

Ozzie is the key, they just keep retooling, not having to blow the whole thing up and completely rebuild.

As far as how they keep doing it?? Talent evaluation! Ram and Phic are right on, Ozzie has done a fantastic job. Lewis has also been the heart and soul, and continues to be so.

However, you can't think of too many additions?? Really?? I can't think of too many stay overs from the 2000 defense....so I checked, and there are not many. The only starters that remain from the 2000 squad are Lewis & McAlister. The additions that enable this defense to maintain the level they have include Ed Reed, Terell Suggs, Bart Scott, Samarie Rolle, Kelly Gregg, and Haloti Ngata.

This defense doesn't rebuild, they simply reload due to the depth they build in FA and the draft.
