Food for Thought
Many people stood amazed, as Americans felt a change come over them. I never thought I would see a nation so ready for change. We want to be able to look at ourselves, and know that the lives we lead, one day will be a better place to raise our families. Over the past ten years, I have felt a change in how I view life and my role in my community. I've always wanted to stop the buses as we entered the visiting stadiums and knock on the doors of the people who can not afford to attend the games. So often we spend more time cheering our "Athletes" than wondering who lives in the run down neighborhoods where our stadiums are built. I was once told by a teammate as a rookie that "You can only Run from the truth so long". Have we been running? Have we really been good neighbors? I know as a football player it is my job to not only be the best in my position, but to be a good citizen. I love the mentality that we have as players on game day. It does not matter who we are playing, how far we have to travel, we are expecting to win. I want my teammates to give their best, not only on game day but also throughout the week. Yes, the win is important, but the process to becoming a winner is also important . Our process as Ravens, has lead to a 6-3 record, we accept every win as well as the defeats. We have learned more in our defeats than our victories, because as players we want to know how can we get better. We are constantly working very hard on "Chasing Perfection", hopefully each week we won't make the same mistakes and get better as a team, so stay tuned, because........ HERE COME THE RAVENS

Another great move by Ozzie to bring you back. You've been a key part of our d-line rotation and let's show the Giants running the ball ain't easy.
Take care man.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on how great Haloti Ngata is. To me, it looks like he is a big key in you guys controlling the line of scrimmage. Fans are starting to recognize him for his interceptions and the Ngata package on offense, but I don't think I've seen a DT as exciting to watch since Sapp - and Ngata does more dirty work than Sapp.
That leaves me to ask this question that I think is an interesting one...who is the most valuable player on defense? Ngata (and yourself, Pryce, Bannan) do a great job of keeping blockers of Ray, but Ray still leads the team and makes great plays every week. I guess you could include Reed for holding the seconday together, but I wouldn't put him over Ray and Ngata (and possibly Suggs).

I also hope that we'll be hearing more from you in the future.
Good luck against the Giants!

You have one of the best blogs in all of sports..reading what you have to say about football and the battles/fights going on is what makes me love the game. Hopefully you'll update some more.
Good luck vs. Pittsburg
