[News] Late For Work 9/15: Does Ray Lewis Think Ravens Can Win AFC North?

[leroy31]

First game of the season and honestly losing Suggs for the years hurts more than the loss. Suggs is the leader of this team, in my opinion, a lot of people say Joe but in reality its 55. He is unquestionably the most respected player in that locker room. He carries himself as the leader of this team and he does it effortlessly, Flacco is more of a let my play do the talking for me kinda guy, which is admirable but not when u make the decisions that he made on Sunday against the Broncos. Our offensive line really had the biggest issues with dealing with the Denver pass rush but thats just not an excuse anymore, I'll be the first to say it and i don't care who disagrees, Eugene Monroe is overrated and overpaid. He has yet to complete a full season for the Ravens, coming from a trade with the Jags that was one of the reasons he stood out to the front office, his durability. He didn't miss a single start in 6 years in Jacksonville. Now its rare that he doesn't get hurt, I could almost bet any kind of money that the Ravens aren't really questioning this already and looking for a replacement. Next years draft I'm positive that they will be looking at the best left tackle prospects. Money being wasted on Eugene Monroe could easily pay Yanda more for an extension or even extend KO and keep the middle of this OL intact. #EugeneIceUpSon

I like the depth at which u made mention that our LT was solid and never missed a game as a Jaguar, now i dont agree with you when we made the trade we had Bryan McKinney, and we desperately needed a LT as Oher wasnt LT material.

You commenting on this after he missed last year and got a concussion this year is panic.

I love Ray Lewis he's been a heart player, I think he let us down with these comments tho. He of all people should know...Ravens fight against difficult odds, as in 2012 to win the Superbowl that next month in 2013...so why all the pessimism now Ray? Just because you are not there to lead the way for us? I think this team does need a strong emotional leader...but we may very well transition more into a pack of equals who co-lead that way...that can work too. We'll have to see, but I think it's way to early RL to declare the sky is falling...shame on you, you know better.
