Former NFL Cornerback Duane Starks On The Ravens Defensive Struggles

Duane Starks is a former NFL defensive back who spent some time with the Baltimore Ravens.

Duane joined Ed and Steve to discuss the Ravens 1-4 start to the season and their struggles on the defensive side of the ball.

Steve asked Duane what the Ravens need to do to fix their struggling secondary. Duane noted that the Ravens just need to find a way to win, "first of all they have to find a way to win. I think some teams try to stack there roster and practice squad to help them the next season. This is one of those things where when you're losing you start to look for an immediate fix."

Ed asked Duane what the Ravens need to do to get more production from their receivers. Duane believes the Ravens need to get creative offensively, "you need to get your play makers involved, find ways to get fast receivers open, and get Justin Forsett the ball out of the backfield. It's one of those years where you look everywhere possible to find someone to help fix the problems."

Duane went on to discuss the strategy for defensive backs in today's NFL, and whether Dean Peas is to blame for the Ravens defensive struggles this season.
