For the Ravens, it was the year that Ray Lewis departed and Joe Flacco arrived, with the fifthyear quarterback finally emerging as the team leader and most valuable component in the franchise's hierarchy, just as Lewis' 17year career was coming to an inspiring close. Baltimore undoubtedly used Lewis' retirement saga for motivational fuel in the playoffs, but in reality the Ravens played most of the season without their celebrated and injured middle linebacker. And yet they still thrived and persevered without Lewis, and even more critical cogs on defense like rush linebacker Terrell Suggs, cornerback Lardarius Webb and inside linebacker Jameel McClain..Dude , your an idiot for one, so Im not going to listen to you at all. 353 that guy mentioned about not that popular recongnized due to the fact teams normally useing this runs the 34 defense is what I was applying . And yes dumbass West Virginia defcor Jeff Casteel is considered to be in the Top 5 def cords in college football.
