Re: Player Intros
It'll definately be Suggs. He's turned into the vocal leader of the defense. I wouldn't mind seeing some danc(ing with the stars) moves from Jacoby either.

I disagree that the dance was "made-for-TV." To me, the theatrics were design to create a circuit of energy that flowed from Ray to the crowd and then from the crowd back to the rest of the team.
Most tv broadcasts didn't even show the dance...I think he did it specifically for the crowd and I think the crowd (as a whole) couldn't get enough.
I agree with most if the sentiments here that it's not a huge deal, that they likely won't have anyone draw attention to themselves the way Ray did. But, my point is that for nearly his entire career, his entrance capped the theater of the teams taking the field. Since that ending is no longer going to be there, there's a void.
I guess the safe bet is that they'll just do it as a team, that the music will be the same throughout, and then they'll get ready to play football without the theatrics.

Re: Player Intros
Ray Lewis is a special player and individual. What he brought to the game of football was unique.
And we had him his entire career. In this day and age, that is crazy.
He will always be ours.
I saw grown men crying in the stands and on the field as he came out before that Wild Card game against the Colts.
It never crossed my mind that my money would have bought me that.
Were you not entertained?!
There is a very great chance that the likes of him, along with the intro, will never be seen again anywhere in the NFL.

Re: Player Intros
Suggs will be last when they introduce the D, Flacco will be last when they introduce the O. There will the fireworks but it will be a toned down production. It won't be an issue.

Re: Player Intros
Not even close, huh? You mean the crowd went louder over Ray's dancing than Flacco bombs for TDs? I don't think so.
Not taking anything away from our love for Ray the football player because I think his dance did not elicit the loudest crowd reaction. I agree with the comment above that the crowd would get excited over Ray's appearance, not that he was dancing.
In any event, Ray + Reed + Defense entry onto the field created an electric atmosphere and a crowd noise which was unsurpassed at any outdoor stadium in the NFL.In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
