    Default Insert the "Ray Lewis" factor

    The Ravens D has looked quite impressive recently.
    CBs and LBs have stepped up.
    Insert Ray Lewis.
    I would imagine inspired football and an emotional edge.

    The Ravens have 3 tough games ahead to get into the SB.

    Let's face it, they are a little short in talent compared to Denver and NE.

    Can Ray Ray get them over the hump?

    It would be a great story to have Lewis come back rejuvinated with youthful like aggression and explosion, wrecking havoc all over the field and recreating the terror he would put into opposing offenses. Unfortunately, this isn't 2000 and Ray isn't 25 years old anymore. The factor of him returning will be virtually inconspicuous, other than seeing his uniform number out there. Let's just hope he's not so rusty that he hurts the team. They have enough to worry about on Sunday.

    How can Ray Lewis cheer leading from the sideline factor in?

    Ray is longer the player he used to be, however, in short bursts like the playoffs he may have enough gas in the tank to look like the HOF Ray.

    No disrespect to Joe because I think he's top 10 QB, but the only area the Ravens are short on talent is QB. He's going up against arguably the 2 greatest QBs to ever play the game. The Ravens have talent to matchup.

    You can really magnify the Ray Lewis factor 100 fold with his "last chance" announcement. Rest assured every Raven will be giving their all.

    Maybe the team will rise to the occasion like the Steelers did for The Bus.

    Thanks for the awesome memories, Ray.

    Hopefully now the Ravens can sign Deelle Ellerbe. His contract is up and needs to come back
