It is absolutly unbelieveable how great Ray still plays. Every year I keep expecting to see him slow down but nope to my satisfaction I am proven wrong.

I am not sure if you saw the behind the bench video on the Ravens website, but I love the coaching he is doing on the sidelines. I love the coaching the vets are doing in general, it showed Ray, Ngata and Redding talking to the younger people and just giving them advice.

very fortunate to not have a selfish team in baltimore.

Article says something I've long forgotten.
Ray won it also in his first game ever, 16+ years ago.

I could have swore that was #51 that got the sack FF, but Ray has been balling.

That was definitely #52 who wrapped him up and smacked the ball loose.

51 got the hit, but Ray punched the ball loose first.

IIRC, Ray didn't get his hands on the QB, he had a blocker in front of him, between him and the QB. But he was close enough that he got his arm out behind the blocker and Ray's hand clawed the ball loose.
I didn't see it until the replay. When I saw the play, Ray was in the picture but negated. Then with the replay it was... ohh no, that savvy old fox found a way with his fingers alone.

Love seeing the old warrior still battling and winning. What force of nature he is.

Still waiting for someone else to step up and lead the team in tackles.

Awesome to see Ray still bringing it

Yup, he got a FF on a play on which he was pancaked!
