Ray Lewis may be the best football player to play the game,  pound for pound , in the modern era:

I'm surprised he's lasted this long with all those fierce hits he's been putting on people.  Enjoy watching him while you still can.

that's called a "pulling guard" - the guard and the fullback were clearing a hole for Sproles.  I think the problem was that they didn't anticipate the blitz and therefore the center didn't pick him up to block, leaving the hole for Lewis to blow that play up.  Besides, the pulling guard didn't seal off the outside of the hole on that play either like he was supposed to.  I can't seem to figure out who missed their assignment on that play...

I know he was pulling, but i was saying, while he was pulling he sidestepped to avoid lewis.

The play calling was terrible.  they should have run on 3rd and 2 instead of trying for the endzone.  Then running after passing on 3rd down was lol.

God I love GREAT defense. Ray Lewis has my upmost respect.  He knew what that play was going to be before they balled was snapped. THAT makes all the difference. Watch the Tape. Football is as much a mental game as it is Physical. His mental toughness along with his physical gifts just makes him an incredible player.
