I think having good safeties is a big key too.

I buy into the "strong up the middle" philosophy of defense.  By having exceptional players at DT, LB, and Safety, a defense can effectively shut down the middle of the field, as well as maintain better control of the line of scrimmage.  With the salary cap dance being what it is, that forces a team to pay a little less for CBs and Edge rushers, but if you draft well at those positions it is a manageable strategy.
