A few things to note...
Dawan Landry wont have much impact on the Ravens D this year, being that he signed with Jacksonville this offseason.
Baltimore is looking at a 6 returning starters from last year, Pitt has all 11 back.
The Ravens base a 3-4 defense, like the Steelers, and not the 4-3 you lined up.
I'm assuming the Ravens are your team and might have been a homer pick for best defense.
Based on your depth chart,
6 returning starters. That doesnt seem to make a strong case for "on paper". I'd rather have the 11 guys who've played together for years and have experience, as well as talent.
With 3 new starters in the Ravens secondary, they look worse than the veteran DBs of the Steelers. Which is pretty sour spot to be in behind a team that got SHREDDED by the Packers in Feb.
Fact is, the steelers have a better rush defense, better pass rush, more game changers, and a better pass defense.

i think that's pretty much a wrap.
Looking foward to seeing the Steelers win another divisional title and putting it down on your Ravens this year.

Pat Hanlon is lucky to still have a job. He made a complete **** out of himself on Twitter.

True. The Giants front office doesn't move too fast. That's half the reason they got called out by the fans in the first place.

Yeah, that's why I switched to the over on Schad's line. I do find it humorously ironic that he's using twitter, as the VP of communications, to bash the fans. Way to communicate!
