Remind me when there was low expectations for Ray lewis

As a Ravens fan, it hurts every time I am reminded that James Harrison was on our team and we cut him. We could have had Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs and James Harrison in our linebacking corps. Can you imagine that defence?! Despite that, I have nothing but respect for James Harrison. His underdog story is admirable and he was always a headache in Ravens-Steelers games

@@DreChilly Could have been even better than 2000. The 2006 Ravens defence was also historically great and we lost to the Colts when they did not score a TD because our offence did not show up. If we have James Harrison on that team, we probably hold the Colts to 2-3 field goals (if not less) and beat them, beat the Pats, crush the Bears and win a Super Bowl. All of a sudden, that 2006 defence is one of the greatest ever.

That Steelers defense in the 2000s was a nasty unit. Had Harrison and Woodley on the edges, Farrior and Foote/Timmons in the middle, Casey Hampton, Aaron Smith and Keisel on the Dline, and Troy Polamalu, Ryan Clark on the back end. Ike Taylor was a solid CB. The Steelers were going to draft Revis in 07 before the Jets traded up right in front of Pit and stole him. I always imagine Revis in that defense

It is interesting how his stubborn attitude and personality created so many setbacks for him in his early life and career, but made him unstoppable once he became established. The difference was finding a positive focus in his life.
