Ray Lewis Top 50 Most Explosive Plays

[@luckyeddy350]

He was such a Beast. Yet almost all his hits were clean. No Roughing the Passer nonsense. That speaks a lot for the man's discipline.

[@Ginga]

The league was much different when he played to what is now too. Protecting the players from themselves for long-term health is important but the violence was much more encouraged back then.

[@luckyeddy350]

@@Ginga Exactly. I didn't actually like the unnecessary violence. Today's game is smarter, faster, more about technique less about bravado. But players like Ray Lewis always have a place in today's game. Clean. Brutal. Effective. Efficient.
