I had to use that picture of Ray Lewis for the preview of the Arizona Cardinals vs Baltimore Ravens game. Lewis is a scary guy, I mean come on he was a convicted murder! If Ray whispers in your ear during the game “I’m gonna kill you”, There is a small chance he might just do it! At the small risk that Ray Lewis or one of his buddies might read this and decide they want to find me and hurt me, I have to say I’m just kidding. Ray plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge and thats it.

To be honest I really like Ray Lewis, he’s one of my favorite players and I actually find myself cheering for him and the Ravens quite often. If you’re a football fan you gotta appreciate the defense Baltimore has. Year in and year out they’re one of the best. Luckily for the Cardinals they might have caught the Ravens at a good time. Futrue Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden will be sitting out Sunday, Steve Mcnair has an injuried groin, Samari Rolle hasn’t practiced this week due to sickness, starting DE Trevor Price is out with an injury, Linebackers Gary Stills and Ray Lewis also have injuries nagging them. So Hopefully an unhealthy Ravens team means they won’t be up to their usual speed on Sunday.

Keys to the game

**

First and formost Matt Leinart has to be step up. The 49ers and Seahawks had solid defenses and caused Matt to struggle quite a bit in the passing game. Things will get a lot harder against the Ravens so Leinart’s going to need to be at his best. Baltimore throws lots of confusing sceams at quarterbacks so hopefully Matt did the necessary studying to prepare for this weeks game. Will be able to tell a lot about Matt by looking at this game and how he handles the tough Ravens defnese.
