3. The Defensive Line Will Be Dominant:

Timmy Jernigan and Williams go into the next season as one of the best defensive line duos in the NFL. The defensive line is fully stocked, even after losing Lawrence Guy to the New England Patriots. Michael Pierce is a great rotational player to keep Williams fresh. Bronson Kaufusi, who was injured for his rookie year may be a starter at the other defensive end position. Carl Davis has the size and strength to be a dominant force. Brent Urban is as tough as it gets. It’s looking good for the defensive line.

With Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosley and a dominant defensive line, the Ravens will be creating some havoc in NFL backfields. Running the football against the Ravens will again prove to be very difficult. The purple and black would have had a decent defensive line without Williams. With Williams they have a great defensive line.
