[News] Anthony Levine: I'm Just A Ball Player

[BR News]

The special-teams ace has shined on defense the last two games, coming up with a pair of interceptions.

He played really well and deserves a spot if not the starting job. It is nice to see someone out there on the defense make some plays. That is what the Ravens are missing without Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. No playmakers.

Anthony Levine might be the next Corey Graham. First start off as a special teamer and then transferred into a playmaker for the defense.

My first reaction when we signed Levine was "that's a hefty sum for a special teamer" but booy was I wrong!

you my friend, are not just a ball player. You are one hell of a ball player! Keep grinding and earn that playing time.

i really would love to see Levine play LB on obvious passing downs from now on.

[purpledown]

Levine is hungry and wants to play ball, thats good to see.

Levine is turning into a player I want to watch whenever he's on the field. Things good for the Ravens seem to happen when he's running around on defense. He'll make mistakes, of course, but at least he's exciting. He's helping bring back the excitement we all used to feel when the Ravens D took the field. Keep him out there, Harbs, for the fans' sakes.

He has the potential to be like one of our previous swiss army knife Adalius Thomas. They aren't the same size or do the same thing, but Levine is just as versatile except he can play LB, safety or even corner. That makes him absolutely necessary on the defensive 11 every snap.

I wonder if they will let him play safety next to Weddle or corner next to Smith? It's gonna be hard to keep him on the bench while either Webb or Davis plays. It would be nice if some of the other guys like Elam, Webb, Wright or Powers stepped up their games the way Levine has. We need some quality depth in the secondary and all I see are liabilities after the starting 4. Maybe Brooks or Young will be the answer.

I'll start by saying Levine has looked really good this PREseason and I'm stoked to watch him lead st as well as play on defense this year. But pump the brakes people! I don't understand how everyone is freaking out at annointing him as one of our best players on D essentially and saying he needs to be out there with the defensive 11 every play. PREseason people

its a couple games of preseason MAN

Levine we [RavensNation] see you. 

Ozzie wish list: Another starting corner opposite Smith, Wright is to Frank Walkerish.  Young and Davis I believe can be better than Wright. Cut Powers he has shown nothing.

                        Need another Punt/KR beside Camp#15, don't trust him to stay healthy and he can't take the 16 game beat up on his body. Also they want to use him in the slot.

correct grammar.

Anthony Levine is benefiting from spreading out the Defense instead of blitzing and if it was a blitz please correct me thank you! These guys move better in space and will breakdown any offense brady, big ben etc just don't blitz and Levine and co. will reap the INTs! Five man front blitz a LB that's it no one from the secondary and they will hold teams under 20pts or less! WE THE BEST!
