Eric Weddle Is A Leader In The Secondary

The Ravens secondary has been 50 shades of awful in the last couple of seasons. It used to be that when opposing quarterbacks saw the Ravens on their schedule, they would shake with fear. Lately they just carve the Ravens up like a Thanksgiving turkey. The Ravens knew that they needed to change this trend. It is no coincidence that the Ravens used to have a great defense; they had a great free safety in Ed Reed. Now Weddle has come to Baltimore to be the leader the Ravens secondary has been missing.

Consider the newest Raven, the quarterback of the secondary. He will diagnose the look of the opposing offense and fire out helpful communication to his teammates. He will make sure that things happen the way they are supposed to happen in the back-end of the Ravens defense. In every facet, Weddle sets a great example. He hits like a hammer and he does his job.

The Ravens secondary is now much better. It seems doubtful that big plays will continue to be the death of the Ravens defense. Weddle is on top of it. Weddle has been to multiple Pro Bowls. He is a highly rated player by Pro Football Focus. You’re going to hear a ton of hype about this new Ravens defensive back. It’s all true.
