IMO, ST are a function of injury luck and depth. If you don't deplete your depth with the injury bug, you'll likely have a decent year on ST.
Baltimore was the first team in the last 5 years that won with a top tier ST unit.
From ProFootball Outsiders:

Joe M didn't get dumb overnight, he plays the hand he's dealt.
Solomon had a decent point in the Chronic today, do you think Joe M really wanted Poesy covering kicks?
Need outstanding QB play + decent defensive effort to win. ST is probably 4th or 5th on the list.
