I wanted to share pretty obscure video I found on youtube - I haven't seen or heard anybody pointing to it but, although I'm not a religious person, it certainly made me a believer!



We spent so much time lately arguing about who should have Ravens kept on roster and what other players should Ravens bring in. In the process we completely lost a perspective and the fact that there is one man we can never replace.

This points the importance of cohesion in a team. Every player contributes to the team's success.

When you get everyone on a team to buy in to one concept it truly is amazing the things that happen.

Non-religious reply: Watching Jacoby in slow motion makes me cringe when he doesn't look the ball into his hands. We all know how special he is once he gains posession and hits the jets, but we also can't forget his performance in Baltimore in the playoffs the previous season. That's when he helped us win the game while playing for the opposing team with a couple bonehead special teams plays, including a fumble.

I think it makes retaining Ed Reed more important. We've been an old team, now we're a young defense.

Good decision. He doesn't offer much as a pass rusher, but he's physical and good against the run.

We definitely need a guy in the draft that can play coverage though and then Pees needs to work in a whole crap load of dime packages with either a safety or oversized corner next to the LB, instead of a nickel look.

The likes of that man in the NFL will never be seen again. I just feel fortunate to have been able to watch the incredible season we just had .. and to have actually been able to come down for a game in Baltimore from Canada. Raven till I die!

Lol i'm pretty sure that in half of these threads (after the superbowl) even if they weren't directly related to Lewis, he was in some way mentioned. No TRUE Raven fan has forgotten nor will they ever forget #52.

We spent so much time lately arguing about who should have Ravens kept on roster and what other players should Ravens bring in. In the process we completely lost a perspective and the fact that there is one man we can never replace.

Doesn't mean Ravens won't win another Super Bowl. Think about this, since he's been in the league, 15 other teams have won the Super Bowl. So that means it is possible to win one without him. Now that he's gone, we have to be better on Offense, we have to be better at pass rush, we have to be better in the secondary.

Agreed that he can never be replaced and perhaps that's why people aren't really talking about the lost perspective. We need to accept it and move on. If we are lucky another great draft prospect will come and bless us like he did. But until then, everyone has to just play better, coach better

Side Note: @ :31 seconds you can see Leach playing special teams. Does he normally do that?

Yes. He threw key blocks on at least a few of Jacoby's TDs during the season.
