Ravens Pro Bowl linebacker Ray Lewis weighed in with his opinion of Portis after Baltimore's Monday night loss to Kansas City, during which Chiefs running back Priest Holmes gained 125 yards on the ground. "Portis isn't Priest," Lewis said. "Don't fool yourself now." During a week in which statements have been repeatedly in the news, Bugel hopes Portis, who ran 22 times for 86 yards against the Ravens last season, uses those words to his advantage.

This was from the Washington Post article Matty posted about Buges and Portis. I hope Portis smacks Ray Ray, well maybe just runs by him really really fast.

too bad our O line isn't nearly as good...

also, i've watched a decent number of ravens games, and i've never seen ray ray play as bad as he was that night... missing tackles left and right...

Daseal · 10-08-2004, 07:28 AM

I wanna see Portis do what the statue says. I'd rather see a stiffarm to the head where Ray ray falls to his back. If I want anyone to suffer the madden curse of having a horrible season, it's Ray Lewis!

MTK · 10-08-2004, 08:30 AM

I thought going up against his former college coach last week would have resulted in a monster game for Portis, but until he get some holes I wouldn't count on him having a big game against the Ravens.

Did anyone see the MNF game, where Ray Lewis was miked up?

He started whining about being constantly double-teamed, Mike Nolan sat next to him, and he started shouting about how he was constantly double-teamed like there was something Mike Nolan could do about it.

That being said, I find him to be a frightening football player and person.

Like with a grizzly bear, if I saw him in the woods, I would cover my jugular with my hands, crawl into the fetal position, and play dead.

LMAO!!! Great line. Hopefully, Portis' approach will be to fly by him like a streak of light, leaving Ray's jock strap around his ankles.

SkinsRock · 10-08-2004, 12:51 PM

I'd like to see Portis run right past him, while he is lying on the ground after Rasby or Sellers or another TE/H-back lays him out with a great block. Repeat.

"The great Ray Lewis" was bitching about being double-teamed??? Waaa!!! If he is really that good it shouldn't matter. I usually don't like seeing anyone get injured, but I wouldn't be upset at all if he breaks a leg or something.

jrocx69 · 10-08-2004, 03:09 PM

you have to run right at him, to many teams run away from him with sweeps and pitches and off tackles. run str8 up the gut on him and you will see guards attacking lewis as well. dockery and thomas are gonna have a busy night

I agree with jrocx69 when you run your toss, pitch, sweeps, off tackles away from lewis you give him an oppertunity to react before a body can get on him, and by the time a body does get to him he is agile enough to make them miss the block leaving Lewis to make the tackle. Where like jrocx69 said if you attack on his side stright up then you get a guard or tackle on lewis right from the snap of the ball and he wont have the time to react because by the time he does the play is already at his door step with an O-lineman knocking at the door.

if it wasnt for the other 10 defenders that the ravens had it would make that a lot easier

Redskins8588 · 10-08-2004, 05:49 PM

Make what alot easier?

SKINSnCANES · 10-08-2004, 06:28 PM

rushing against the ravens defense. of course they have been giving up a ton of yards this year

From The Washington Times

Portis spouts off

Running back Clinton Portis, who declined to speak to Washington area media this week, found time to blast the Ravens' defense on Sirius NFL Radio.

"Nothing impresses me about them," Portis said. "It is a defense, and we have to go out and play ball, and that is what we are going to do. There's nothing impressive about them; it's nothing spectacular about them. We just got to go out and establish what we want to do and don't put ourselves in no [bad] situations and run right at them."

Extra points

Coach Joe Gibbs just laughed when asked about the conventional wisdom regarding Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis — that the best way to beat Lewis is to run right at him. "I wouldn't want to spend my game plan running at Ray Lewis," Gibbs said. "I prefer to find out where he is and run every other place. I don't know that I buy into that." ...

Gibbs indicated that he hopes to get running back Ladell Betts more involved. Betts has 10 carries and one reception, including just two touches at Cleveland when he was the third-down back and in the hurry-up offense. "I think our deal is we want to keep Clinton fresh," Gibbs said. "We probably need to get [Betts] more carries."

SKINSnCANES · 10-09-2004, 11:28 PM

hmm, if everyone that has been playing lewis for years says to run at him ive gotta think their opinion is worth more than gibbs on this issue.

johnnyirish · 10-09-2004, 11:49 PM

Portis, It is time to earn your $!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Skins.
