The Reality of Ray Lewis

[Manster54]

true. Ray Ray was at his best and won the Superbowl when TOny Siragusa played infront of him. Lewis was somewhat forgotten until Ravens drafted Halati Ngata and became dominant again. We need a behemoth DT.

Agree about bohemoth bit, but actually Ravens played a 4-3 during the superbowl run, Front line of Michael McCrary, Sam Adams, Tony Siragusa & Rob Burnett- SICK front line!

I too live in Baltimore. Ray is perfect here and can do no wrong.
For Dallas, I think he is too old and the cap hit would be too high.
BUT, If he could convince the Ravens to trade Haloti Ngata to go to Big D w/him...We don't have a large in charge NT to do what is needed to make Ray dominant.

Does Ray know hypnosis?

Uh, no. You are just propogating the myth. It's not true. In between Tony Siragusa and Haloti Ngata, Ray Lewis only won his SECOND defensive player of the year award. What is your criteria for "dominant"?


Ray achieved this in 2003, playing SILB in a Nolan 3-4.

Alas, I fear Ray Ray needs to go back to Palm Reading School...

IMO Zach tried and no one listened just like they will do with Lewis. I don't care how many times he gets in their face it won't make a difference.

IMO ZT is not near the leader nor the player RL is.

My point was the moving words about Ray Lewis saving the world from doom as if he is a moral super hero is over the top. I would take the money and so will Ray Lewis. My point is he is no longer a great player. Every team has leaders and it is usually the best players on the team. The question is how do the best players lead? Are they vocal? Do they lead by example? Ray Lewis would not be the best player on the Dallas defense and he wasnt on the Ravens, for this reason and others, I am unimpressed with all the cliche words used around Ray Lewis.

He is declining and he cannot not cover sideline to sideline as he was did. A slower Ray Lewis abused in coverage with Bradie blitzing is not what this defense needs. It NEEDS Burnnett to cover underneathe when the pressure is applied.

Nice counterpoint. If Ray can cover well enough ok. If not then I agree. It's just very hard to find a cover MILB who can also defeat the run. It's why a big NT is needed to plug that hole and cover the interior lineman at the point of attack.
