That was Tony Siragusa. He played on the Ravens when they won their first Super Bowl...over the NY Giants. The story about the "players" not knowing who Ray Lewis is is crazy. It is impossible to not know who Ray Lewis is. Everyone in Baltimore knows who he is. Everyone who watches football knows who he is. Best middle linebacker of all time!

Ray Lewis's backstory is a memorable one. Found out his absentee father held a lot of his high school wrestling records, so he became a wrestler and broke them. Ray's college roommate was killed while Ray was out, he came home to find the body.In an interview, a teammate was talking about how before each game, you see Ray on the bench talking to himself. His teammate said that he's talking to his roommate and you don't dare interrupt him.

I remember when he announced mid season he would retire. immediately I could see the spark of the whole team getting motivated. They won the Superbowl that season.

[@shab8182]

Loved this! 1) Yes, he was a middle linebacker whereas Lawrence Taylor was an Outside Linebacker 2) that was tony siragusa (#98) 3) Ray Lewis was the defensive captain and was not only a monster athletically but was smarter and more prepared than the rest. He prided himself on film People say the 1986 bears defense is the best of all time (i wasnt alive) so the best defense i ever saw was the 2000 Baltimore Ravens (who destroyed my New York Giants in the superbowl lol)

[@JT-Rebel]

I know this nitpicking, but it's the '85 Bears...But yea, the rest is correct.

[@Nc18554]

I have been going to ravens games since I've been 5. The ravens Franchise is 1 year younger than me (1996). I still think that 2000 defense is the best ever. The bears are right there tho. The fact that we had a full month with zero scores, besides our kicker and still won games, shows how good that defense was.

[@_bryanblaze_]

Being born and raised in Baltimore this video was everything. Ray Lewis was like a father to us who didn’t have fathers.

[@ran_d_d]

He played for the Ravens for the entirety of his 17 year career. I remember when he was a free agent for a short time. Didn’t even visit another team to hear an offer. Just waited on an offer from the Ravens. He got our stadium ready for each game in addition to the teammates. He also has a statue outside the stadium. Since his retirement there isn’t a year where I don’t watch Ray Lewis & Ed Reed highlights and think about how much I miss those guys.

[@anthonyanderson9303]

Actually he did get close to signing with the Cowboys. That was around 2005 when the Ravens were having a down year and he was complaining about them not having good d linemen to keep offensive lineman off him. They then went out and drafted Hiloti Ngata, Ray re-signed, and the rest was history.

[@brandynsurfus6482]

Like you I miss the Ray and Ed Era of the ravens. Never liked football but in 99 I witnessed Ray Lewis play for my first and never looked back. Still a Baltimore fan til this day.

[@xlxl9440]

[@andregourdine8353]

He is mic'd up. They also have sideline directional mics. He's the defensive captain

[@cantecleer]

A huge talker, but he backed it up and then some. One of the all-time great inside linebackers. Because they are in the center of the field and typically the best all around athletes on the defense, they are almost always the leaders of the defensive squad. They read offenses, call out audibles, direct their teammates and are always moving. Linebackers do everything... grinding on the line, rushing the passer, open field tackles, dropping back in pass coverage. Great athletes. Typically the best all around athletes on the football field with the most well-rounded skillset.

[@anthonyzarate9807]

The guy with helmet off (#26) is Rod Woodson, arguably the best Defensive Back in NFL history. He and Ray Lewis were both Captains. I think Shannon Sharpe was a Captain as well. Woodson played for Pittsburgh Steelers (huge rival of Ravens) but went to Ravens in 1999. He was so great and respected he was welcomed with open arms. He made pro bowl 3 of 4 years he played with them and helped them win SB in 2000. That is still one of the best defenses in NFL history to this day! The 1985 Bears, 1976 Steelers, and 2000 Ravens are the 3 best ever! The 1991 Eagles, 2002 Buccaneers, and 1986 and 1990 Giants (Lawrence Taylor played on both of course) were all-time great as well. Honorable mention to 1994 Steelers. Of course there are a bunch of others, but this is one I remember being so dominant!

[@Dr.Midnight]

Baltimore ravens were one of the most successful teams through Ray’s tenure. They were a very new team when ray got there, and he established the culture of the franchise- tough, hard nose, and defence first. As others mentioned he’s widely regarded as one of, if not the best inside linebackers of all time, and the Baltimore ravens had several years of the nfls best defence across different statistics throughout the 2000s. If it weren’t for the patriots dynasty the ravens would have won many more conference championships and Super Bowls. The ravens also had to deal with another one of the NFLs most successful franchises in their own division in the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have a very similar culture to the ravens and the Steelers-ravens rivalry is widely regarded as the best rivalry in the NFL. If you have a chance, you should react to some videos covering that rivalry, it was particularly explosive 2008-2011.

[@masamune2984]

Forget the Steelers/Ravens, the entire AFC North is considered one of the strongest “group” of rivalries in the NFL. It transcends records and rings, and is almost ALWAYS amazingly entertaining to watch 😄

You can find a tiny green dot on the back of a radio receiver helmet - worn by one player on offence, usually the quarterback, and another player on defence. Only the sideline (coaches) can talk to them to call plays, they can't talk back so no microphone there. On-field mics are embedded in shoulder pads.

[@willvr4]

Mike, they've changed the rules recently but the numbers do usually correlate to their positions within a range. 40-59 is always a linebacker but I can't tell anymore.

[@MAGAisacult]

[@brandynsurfus6482]

This video is just one more reason i love this channel. To be honest I never really cared for football when I was younger. It wasn't until I watched Ray Lewis play for my first time somewhere in the 1999 season. He sacked the quarterback with such force he flew back 3 yards. It was that moment I was like... I don't know who this man is but I'm not taking my eyes off him ever again. Ray Lewis is the Greatest middle linebacker to ever play the game. Yes his statue in Baltimore speaks for itself. His name is also etched in the Hall of Fame books forever. He made the NFL's top 100 all time team (you should watch that interview). He was feared by so many quarterbacks Tom Brady included. Ray Lewis would literally spend days watching game film to prep for the upcoming game. He knew what you were going to do before you even knew. He is a legend and is still missed. I relive Ray's career on KZbin probably a little too much.

[@JonahLoeb]

In the NFL, numbers 1-19 are for QBs, kickers, and punters; 20-49 are for running backs, cornerbacks, and safeties; 50-59 are for centers and linebackers; 60-79 are for offensive and defensive linemen; 80-89 are for wide receivers and tight ends (although they can also wear 10-19 if all the 80s are taken); and 90-99 are used for linebackers or defensive linemen if all other available numbers in their assigned range are taken. In soccer, different positions do traditionally tend to use different numbers, but players can wear numbers that don't correspond to their positions, like Wilfried Bony and Clint Dempsey both wearing 2 as strikers. But in the NFL it's actually mandatory so that the referees can know at a glance what position you're playing, since certain positions have rules about how they're allowed to move or whether they're eligible to catch passes (most of the time).

[@VideoNozoki]

Thank you. I was hoping someone would write this out. So, YES, the numbers on their uniforms depend on their job on the field.

[@nicolaspiccirillo7391]

21:20 I highly doubt any of the guys got tired of him. This man was a 2 time super bowl champion, 2 time best defensive player in the year, and a 13 TIME PRO BOWLER. This is a mans game , probably the most savage major sport on the planet

[@evanshields3997]

My only claim to fame is that my mom’s maiden name/my middle name Lewis comes from the same family tree as Ray Lewis because we’re fourth cousins. Never met the guy though or even knew we were related until like 10 years ago. My grandpa just told me one day that he knew Ray Lewis’ grandma when they were kids because they were second cousins and I was in shock.

[@MoeDavinci]

15:40 the Middle Linebacker (MLB or ILB for interior) typically eventually becomes a captain. They are they are normally the play callers on defense that gives the signals to the other players via the coach. Ray was a captain (there are 4 captains on the team) very early in his career and was a great leader throughout.

[@E90RY]

Yes that was Tony Siragusa. Unfortunately the legend died today. 6/22/22 . My dad played against him in high school a bunch of times. Rip to a legend

[@willvr4]

Ray Lewis was a middle linebacker, basically the quarterback of the defense because he coordinates the defense. Lawrence taylor was an outside lineback but in a 3-4 defense so he was essentially a pass rushing defensive end. That probably means nothing to you but if you look up the positions, it will make more sense lol

Ray Lewis is the face the Baltimore Ravens past, present and future.

[@JuandeFucaU]

yes, there is a captain of the defense and Ray Lewis definitely was one..... they call audibles just like a QB does on offense..... making any last second changes before the ball is snapped. most coaches have played the game, some at NFL level, but most just at college level..... takes time coaching high school, then college, before getting a chance to coach at big league level..... an NFL career kinda cuts short much of the prep time needed for most NFL coaches... most of whom have to earn their jobs at the college level first. the Ravens defense dominated for a decade but no team has come close to the Patriots string of Superbowl wins..... Ray Lewis is often in the argument about best linebacker ever with LT.

[@WE23anime]

Ray Lewis is a middle Linebacker which means he is the QB of the Defense...that is why he is directing the defense where to go...

[@aaronshackelford6106]

Ray Lewis was a real leader for the Baltimore Ravens on defense Ray Lewis knew how to read offense of plays and the quarterback's eyes he's going to be in the football Hall of Fame

[@grantwicklem9359]

Some coaches in the NFL have played pro football, but certainly not all (or perhaps even most). Most have at least played in college I'd say. In fact, often times backups go on to make the best coaches because while they aren't playing, they are studying the game, formations, techniques, etc. So often times a backup QB, for example, will go on to be a great QB coach or offensive coordinator because despite not having the physical tools, they've spent so much time studying and watching that they have an incredible understanding of the game.

[@leftinashes]

The Ravens have won two Super Bowls and Ray Lewis was a huge part of both championship teams. In fact, he went out on top by winning his second Super Bowl in his very last game! Talk about story book ending... He has won at every level. Winning State as a student at Lakeland High School in Lakeland, Florida. Then winning a National Championship at the University of Miami and then of course as an All-Pro for the Ravens. In other words... The dude just wins!

[@dennisfreeman4813]

He won 2 championship with his 2nd in his final game as a professional player. His first championship Baltimore Ravens can be considered one of the best if not the best defense in the history of the modern game, they dominated, and he was the captain. Played for almost two decades at a high level, so intelligent he knew the game inside out, and to answer your question most coaches in professional sports in America are not necessarily former players, a lot played in college, and the other thing is that jersey numbers for a large history of the game have been coordinated to specific positions but they have been loosened in recent seasons, a little bit like European football number restrictions have evolved, like I saw George Best wearing 7,11,10, and even 8…I was shocked being that I’m in my 20’s I didn’t see the game live back then but It’s funny how all things evolve

Yes, he was the defensive captain. Football usually has an offensive and a defensive captain. He is such an amazing motivator and he always finds a way to invigorate the defensive, no matter how dire the situation looks, he has never given up, Ever! Even if his team is down by 30 with 50 seconds left, he'll get his men to hurt the other team for the final 50 seconds. If he was in the military, he would be a combat commander of special ops, if he was a cook, he would make Gordon Ramsey look soft, and if he was a teacher... well if he was a teacher, he would get fired in 1 day, lol.

Ray Lewis was the leader and best player of the best College football defense of all time.

In this video BTW (I am not a Baltimore Ravens fan, but I am a University if Miami fan), and both Ray Lewis and Ed Reed (#20) are among the best who ever played at their position and both played for Miami in college.

1) Yes, Ray Lewis played Linebacker like Lawrence Taylor. 2) Also yes, their numbers do indeed correlate to the position they’re playing. For example, Linebackers are only allowed to wear numbers between 40 to 59 and 90 to 99. Quarterbacks are only allowed to wear numbers between 1 and 19. If I’m not mistaken, it’s a league rule.

When he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame a few years ago Ray Lewis brought a sweat rag for when he gave his speech, and boy did he need it, he sweat right through his newly awarded gold jacket. (Football HoF inductees are awarded gold jackets). Typically inductees give speeches where they stand behind a podium and thank family, friends, coaches, teammates, mentors, etc. and reminisce about some of the best moments of their careers, but I remember Ray walking around the stage like a preacher with rag in hand, and a woman in the audience yelling out "Amen!" when Ray was (for some reason) talking about bringing prayer back into schools.

[@grantwicklem9359]

Fun fact about Ray Lewis: He was charged for committing - or participating in - a double homicide stemming from a bar fight he was involved in where two people were stabbed. They found the victim's blood in Lewis' limo and never recovered the white suit he was wearing that night, which he seemingly destroyed. But without enough damning physical evidence he was the actual killer, he accepted a plea deal for Obstruction of Justice and the murder charges were dropped in exchange for his testimony against his pals. However, due to his suspicious behavior in covering his tracks and his stardom, some believe Ray Lewis got away with murder (which, unfortunately, would not be the first time an NFL player got away with murder). The double homicide remains unsolved to this day. Not saying he's guilty but it certainly looks very suspicious. So Ray Lewis may or may not be a murderer. Very fun fact!

[@texanindivual8959]

As a Texan/Football Fanatic/Coaches son. Middle Linebackers like Ray Lewis are typically run stoppers and have numbers in the 50’s. Outside linebackers ala Lawrence Taylor play in a different setup a 3/4 so that they are the premier pass rushers rather than the defensive ends who is a 3/4/4occupy that role a good coach would consider his players when deciding a scheme a cocky coach uses their scheme and expects the personnel to fit. Either way in American football a good coach adjusts to the players they have and a cockney coach trusts the system and forces round blocks in square holes. Either way the best emotional should be your captains who go out for coin toss

[@philaunitebirdgangtakeflig5453]

there are a ton of ex NFL players who are now coaches, however, on an NFL football team there is an offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, the head coach usually assumes one or both of those jobs, as well as a special teams coordinator. Then there are coaches for every position group on the field. Offensive line coach, Defensive line coach, Running backs coach, Qb coach, Wide Receiver coach, Tight end coach, Linebacker coach and so on. Former NFL players rarely make it to head coach, but they often get position coaching jobs. And that's not mentioning the head coaches that played football at some level just not at the highest, they either played in high school or lower level colleges. But there is still a large amount of coaches who never played and have only ever coached the game.

[@Jskew]

Um I'm an American. SO One of the best comments ever heard a kicker shanked a kick. And lost the game in the last seconds. After the game a reporter came and said were you angry with your kicker.

R.I.P. Goose. hell of a person and player.

Ray Lewis is from Lakeland, Florida. So yes, he is Southern.

Many star players, including Ray Lewis, go into broadcasting or commentary on TV for the games. The majority of coaches actually haven't played in the NFL... But there are exceptions.

Quite interesting. There wasn't one clip of a Ravens/Steelers game in this montage. In the Ray Lewis Ed Reed era the most brutal smashmouth games you could ever hope to watch were Steelers/Ravens. I know Ray Lewis would say a lot of things during one of those games, somehow I doubt he ever said to a Steeler get off the field. One year we had to play the Ravens three times.

The player wearing number 20, Ed Reed, is a legendary Safety, meaning he plays in the centerfield, behind the Linebackers, but sometimes, in the “box”. The box is the area “inside” the Left and Right Defensive Ends. Imaginary “box” that extends end to end, maybe 10 yards (meters)back. Another player worth checking out, is Reggie White, RIP!!. Played for the Green Bay Packers, and was one of the greatest Defensive Tackles to ever do it! He was a preacher, who didn’t play like a Christian! Enjoy your “football” journey, gentleman! Great sport, with tons of legends!! Go Cowboys!!!!

They were a really good team! They did win a Superbowl! He was just an absolute beast!

When the players are mic'd up, I'm pretty sure it's attached to their shoulder pads. There's a wire in it, basically.

[@docducttape9270]

They got people with sound dishes standing on the sidelines and end zones. Next time you watch a football game look for the guys wearing headphones and pointing little satellite dish looking things onto the field. 📡🎧 Check out the middle/left of the screen at 11:25 and you'll see the guy with the clear dish and headphones. That's how they catch what they are saying. Wherever that thing is pointed at they can hear from far away.

[@frightenedsoul]

@@docducttape9270 you’re both correct. Yes they have the directional mics but also they physically mic up certain players and they do it through the shoulder pads like he said

[@awkwardblerdgirl6650]

My man Ray. He was the captain of the team,Ravens had the number 1 defense in the league while he was playing. That was T. Saragusa
