3. Eric Weddle Can Fix The Secondary

The biggest problem in the Ravens secondary was that they didn’t have a good pair of safeties. Enter Eric Weddle, who is reliable and intelligent. Weddle will fix this problem single-handedly and will prevent big plays from happening against the Ravens.

Weddle will be the quarterback of the defense. He will bark out valuable communication and will make sure the Ravens line up the right way. Weddle is a leader and the Ravens desperately needed another defensive leader.

The Ravens cornerback situation still needs to be addressed but the biggest problem has been seen to. The Ravens defense got one of the most reliable safeties in football.
