Re: Sorry to do this guys, but a Depressing Picture
It would be a lot more depressing if he hadn't gone out as a SUPER BOWL CHAMP!

Absolutely 52 gets retired. He's been the heart, soul, and face of the franchise since it's been here. If Baltimore had a Mount Rushmore for sports, he would be on it. Giving someone #52 would be like dem O's giving someone #8.

Ok seeing that picture brought tears! Wow with all the celebrating I never sat and thought man Ray is done.

Ray had a good run. It's not like the empty locker of a player who died. I remember a few of those including the Kansas City's Jovan Belcher this year.
Let Joe Cool lead the way 😎

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That’s the Baltimore Raven way.” - Steve Smith Sr.
Call me a Special Teams coach again. I dare you! I double dare you, MFer!

Re: Sorry to do this guys, but a Depressing Picture
It will be a weird moment on 9/5 when the Ravens walk out of the tunnel without Lewis and likely without Reed. This organization is in great hands with Harbaugh, Haloti, Ngata, Webb, Pollard, Flacco, Rice, Torrey, Pitta, Yanda, and (hopefully) Boldin.
Lewis will be the gold standard of team leadership for as long as the NFL has games. Let's not forget that as a player though, he was losing it rapidly. He was probably our worst starter on the field for us on Sunday. Not trying to kill the moment by saying it, but he was a liability for sure. I think when we see our next Lewis (hopefully Teo or Minter) lining up in Ray's old spot (hopefully next to Ellerbe) in 7 months, we will find a new source of energy for our Ravens. The first time we see Ray's replacement run sideline-to-sideline to make a tackle, reminiscent of the player Ray was years ago, we can finally feel better about not having him here anymore.
That's the beauty of our franchise. The peaks are high and the valleys rarely low. I'll have tears in my eyes when someone other than Ray runs out of the tunnel on Sundays, but whoever that is will give us new great memories.
