Ray Lewis on Tony Romo: "He's up and down"

Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis is a certain Hall of Famer. He will make his lone appearance in Texas Stadium on Saturday.

Lewis was asked about his impressions of Tony Romo.

"Tony Romo, he's an up-and-down quarterback," Lewis told reporters in Baltimore. "You can see him... Sometimes he can get blazing hot. He can make the same throws off back foots and the same throws throwing sideways. And then sometimes he doesn't. Sometimes he makes those same throws and they're huge mistakes."

Pressure is the key to stopping Romo. The Ravens have one of the better defenses in the NFL and expect them to attack Romo in the passing game.

"I think the thing you can't do is just sit back there and let him be comfortable, because Dallas, of course, has a lot of weapons on the offensive side of the ball, as well as defensive side of the ball," Lewis said. "But, you read about T.O. [Terrell Owens], or [Marion] Barber, or [Jason] Witten, all these guys.

He has a lot of playmakers on his side of the ball, so to let him sit back there and pick and choose, I think that's where he's most successful. People that have had success against him have really made him not sit back there comfortable."

The Ravens sure do love to talk alot.

I don't follow the Ravens-but when they're in the playoffs, they make Patrick Crayton look intellgent.

See...this is what I'm concerned about!

The game plan and the protection better be on point, because if not, it's going to be a long night!

Now is the time for Garrett to dial up some new stuff...

 

[KingintheNorth]

Tony Romo will be marching "up and down" the field on them all game long.

I think you're overreacting. Every defense thinks this in their mind. Of course every opponents goal is to get after Romo and make him uncomfortable.

So you laugh at me....?

Hey, this is one game that I'm really worried about! I don't know why? But that defense can get after people...and Romo is a little sore.

Anyway...I see what you are saying. I guess it's just trash talk or whatever you call it.

If the Boyz win this game, I will get back to my normal stupid self.

Exactly. Yall need to quit acting like he's not telling the truth.

Just like the Giants, Steelers, Eagles, and other teams get after people also. Lewis just came out and said it. The others just keep it quiet, but they all think the way Lewis does.

Hey, I'm worried, too. I hope we don't relax a little after a big division win, because these guys' defense is just as good.

I dunno, it just almost has the feel of one of those games where we let up a little. Hopefully not, and our D keeps playing like it has. I do think the defense will be motivated to outplay the vaunted Ravens D, just like they were against Pittsburgh. And the crowd should be rockin'.

 

[dcfanatic]

I love Romo, but if I am looking from Ray's point of view I am saying that Romo is up and down this season too.

We just need Romo to be 'up' on Saturday.

 

[superpunk]

This just in - Ray Lewis' generic comments can be applied to any QB in the history of the game, ever.

The great ones, have more ups than downs. And none of them like pressure.

 

[Boysboy]

Exactly. Yall need to quit acting like he's not telling the truth.

What if Patrick Crayton said that about an opposing team's QB? Would you be saying the same, "Oh, it's just regular trash talking" thing about him?

Crayton is a #3 receiver who runs his mouth. Ray Lewis is a Hall of Famer who tells the truth.

Over the course of a season, every QB has up and down days. The good ones are up more than down.

I've never seen a QB be up for an entire season. Even Brady has had stinkers in his Super Bowl years.

imo, your anti-Dallas bias is showing.

Regardless of what the prisoners of the moment say, Brady didnt become an elite QB til the Pats won their 3rd SB. His numbers before that were very average.

OK-what if Demarcus Ware had said the same thing Lewis said about opposing QBs? Come on...don't tell me you would defend him just like you're doing so with RL.

The Ravens are known for trash talking, they do it all the time. And you think they're not the only ones that do so? Then tell me why teams like the Giants, Eagles, and Steelers, all whom make a living getting after the QB, stay quiet? Why don't we hear Dwight Freeney, another premiere pass rusher, do the same thing?

 

[masomenos]

Baltimore's defense gets sack 8.4% of the time.
Dallas's offense allows Romo to get sacked 4.1% of the time.

Advantage - Dallas.
