Questions raised about Ray Lewis

Lewis is a product of having excellent big men in front of him (Adams, Siragusa, Ngota) that needed to be doubled which freed him up. But, father time catches up to us all, regardless of the help we get.

he will go crazy this Sunday!

OK, it was only the Chiefs, but when you hold any NFL team to 6 points in a game, the defense has done its job.

As for Father Time, don't remind me.

Didn't see the game, but you might want to give Lewis a pass on one bad half before you start writing him off. The whole defense is not playing up to Ravens standards, but it might not be his fault.

Have faith, Otis. Any given Sunday.

Or Thursday, as we have discovered.

I didn't get to see the Chiefs game, but he has looked pretty good in the games that I have seen him play on TV this season.

Losing Suggs made the whole unit weaker.

But, the Ravens have given up only 89 points in 5 games, and the're leading their division. Not too shabby for bunch of beat-up old men.

Not this week. That Cowboy o-line against that Ravens defense...UGLY!!!

Ray Lewis finds that it's not as easy to stop a guy when you don't have a knife...

They have only played one good team/offense, New England and they gave up 30 points in that one. It should have been more, but the Ravens fans masquerading as replacement refs helped them out a bit. Hell they even lost to Philly and the Eagles suck.

Footsteps...............I don't think they hear them as loudly Ray as they once heard them. 17yrs at a frantic pace, somethin gotta give somma the time.

You described Jack Lambert with the first part of your sentence. Benefitted from Mean Joe, Fat Holmes, and others on that Pitt line.

that would be LC Greenwood and Dwight White.

Backers Ham & Lambert,

D Backs, Blount & Shell, justa name a few!

Of course he's slowed down at 37; his value as a leader of the defense still persists, and he's an emotional leader of a team that is not as talented as many opponents but is more emotionally committed to winning then most of them.
