I’m still thinking to myself, “How in the hell did the Ravens lose to the Colts at home in last year’s playoffs?”  That one bothered me for a while because I was waiting for Big Bad Ray to put a hurtin’ on Peyton and the boys.  It didn’t happen that day for Steve McNair as he looked awful and old.  McNair and Lewis aren’t spring chickens anymore and I sense some urgency to this year’s team.

So the Ravens went out and got themselves a 26-year old RB in Willis McGahee from the Bills to replace the worn down Jamal Lewis.  I think this was a great move as McGahee’s style fits in better with the Ravens offense.  I expect a 1,000+ season from the former Hurricane. 

Now that he’s had a full year in the system and with father time beating down on him, I expect McNair to have a very solid year.  He’s not able to do the things he once was but who would be able after having trailer trucks run you over for eight years?  He’s smart, a great leader and the other Ravens feel confident with him behind center.

On the D-side of the ball, The Ravens still have Ray Lewis or “Alley Thug” as I like to call him.  Now seriously guys, would you or would you not want Mr. Lewis to come on a trip with you if it involved a “meeting” some place dark and secluded with money involved? 

I know my answer!
