It's similar to Ray Lewis and his use of yoga to keep his body feeling younger than it is.

Most players are opposed to these holistic-based treatments and different training techniques because of their need to [b]maintain their masculine image, but yoga[/b], immersion tanks, and various healing methods are actually proven to work wonders. When used as a supplement to traditional conditioning and strength training, you can basically reach your peak physical shape in the same amount of time but with less pain.

I also practice yoga, next to going to the gym, and I can tell you this. You can keep the sweaty men in the gym. Gimme women bending over, right in front of you, all day.

Almost all the people in the classes are women, say 95% and up. Those girls love it when a man come to the classes. First time I went to a class, they welcomed me with open arms. And after the first 3 times they kept asking me, after the session, to come back.

I'm telling you women that practice yoga are very uhmm... who can I say this, open ;)

I've always loved Ricky Williams, even through the whole Jamaica weed thing lol, but idk how I feel about it. If he can stay healthy and run hard, I'm all for it.

Ya know, I always hated doing the Yoga part of P90X. My man, I do believe you just gave me some motivation.

Won't this move make our pass game all the better?

I mean if teams have to make sure and put a hat on Vonta, than they have one less player to spy. Having to keep a body on Rice or Ricky for the whole game keeps more Defensive players tied up. This seems to me to open up the play action and option plays.

I think we can run at teams and keep them confused more of the time. This will hopefully get Cam to run more effective plays than traps off the tackle when we are third and long. Who knows maybe with Vonta hitting the hole, Rice will get to the second level more often.

never satisfied around here....cried about a back up and you got one. Who were you really expecting considering you didn't want the rookies carrying nor the undrafted free agents.

I really like the move. Ray and Ricky should do some work. Short game with Leach leading Ricky should be pretty potent. :18_1_301:

Well, welcome to Baltimore, Ricky. Here's to hoping you've got some gas left in the tank.

this move definitely caught me off guard! i'm kinda on the fence on this one.

i think Ricky is a nice compliment to Ray Rice however, at age 34? i thought that our "young pup" Allen would get his opportunity. but, Rice, Williams and Leach? our running game just got umm....what does coach Harbs love to say? oh yeah...."better!" :229031_rofl:

Ricky is not a football 34 years old though, with him retiring and the suspensions, I would say to take 3-4 years off his age. This was a great signing, I can see Ricky doing some damage with Leach to lead ( Rice FF numbers will dip ). I was going to be nervous going into the season with rookies backing Rice up and as far as Parmalee, smh. Fumbles is one thing we can't afford to do and the verdict is still out on our rookie RB's. They will still get in from time to time but ease them in.

I'll miss Willis. He was one of my fave Ravens during his time here. Hopefully Ricky can deliver some Willis-esque stiff-arms too!

This is a tremendous signing. Ive always been a big fan of Ricky and his style. Hes a great blend of speed and strength, reads his blocks very well and catches out of the backfield nicely. He probably has 2 good high level years left in him (pray that he stays healthy.) I think he`ll bring some good veteran leadership to a now young offense, a guy that has been through it all in the nfl. Im excited to see him on the field RUN RICKY RUN! IN OZ WE TRUST.
