There was a time when the Ravens took the field with swagger. They were physical and even if the Ravens weren’t victorious opponents felt the Baltimore Bullies long after the final whistle. They might not always beat you but you WERE beaten (up).
The Ravens hit hard on both sides of the football. Their offense was characterized by a smash mouth approach featuring grinders like Jamal Lewis, Le’Ron McClain, Lorenzo Neal, Sam Gash, Anquan Boldin, Willis McGahee and Vonta Leach on offense and of course the likes of Ray Lewis, Jamie Sharper, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata, Dawan Landry, Chris McAlister, Bernard Pollard, Bart Scott – the list of tough defenders goes on.
