Yeah, I think the preaching and such may have helped the young guys for a bit when they first came on board, but after a while thinking it just became a nod of the head and jumping around, but not really listening. I remember Joe saying once that he didn't even know what Ray was talking about half the time.
Ray Lewis was a great football player, but his motivational effects on the team were greatly exaggerated, not just by him but by others as well.
