I’m just sayin’:
-There is a “Plays Like a Raven” template. Sounds simple, but it is a player who likes football and all that comes with that: the physicality, the preparation and study, the weightlifting, the importance of team. Football means something to the player. Being part of a group carries weight. Can’t see it any better than with Steve Smith Sr., who became teary eyed talking to the media last week about coming back this season. He talked about being part of the Ravens’ team and the encouragement he received from John Harbaugh, Ozzie Newsome and his teammates.
