This wasn't even an incredibly exciting, acrobatic, brutal or thrilling play. It's just that Ray Lewis took the game and absolutely shut it down with this one.
you can tell he was screaming during the blitz, before hand yelling...lets go...then when they snap the ball you can see him screaming woooooooooooooooh while he is blitzing. Man I love Ray Lewis
@veryslyfox because he's the best defensive player on their team? that's like saying "why didn't they just block lawrence taylor?" guys have a way of getting past blocks, around blocks, evade blocks or whatever.
@violenceteacher6669 because it was 4th down and they wanted to make sure they get the first. Running place are much less riskier than passing plays. If they get the first down, then they only lose 10 seconds or so off of the clock because of the spike, then they have time to run 3 pass plays.
@violenceteacher6669 4th down and 2 from the 15. Hope you dont need 30+seconds to get a spike off. Plenty of time to spike and run two more plays at the end zone if ray lewis wouldnt have mauled Sproles 5 yards in the back field.
@violenceteacher6669 it was 4th down and 2 to go, get the first and spike the ball to stop the clock and still have 20+ seconds left from inside the 10 with a pro bowl quarterback and 3 downs left.
@violenceteacher6669 Sproles had been their best offensive player, the most dynamic. Because the field was short, they would have been able to spike the ball efficiently.
There is such a thing as a dumb question, and this proves that. If, and with Lewis in the backfield this is a big if, they get the two yards the needed they could kneel on the ball with at least 20 seconds left on the clock and have a first down. Then would then have 4 downs to take passing shots at the end-zone (e.g. win the game). Smart call, but bad blocking, or, rather, damn good penetration on Ray Lewis' part.
@violenceteacher6669 That's a lot of time. After this play, they could spike the ball and have more than 25 seconds on the clock. Also, look at where they are on the field. With a first down, they would only have at most 14 yards to go. Decent call but fuck Norv regardless for not letting Rivers throw it.
i would love to see the ravens win a super bowl with their sick D and Boldin and Mason , Ray Rice i think alot of people would be happy i really dont think anybody besides PIT fans hate the ravens
Why the hell were they running the ball on 4th and 2 that close to the goalline, with 1 TO left and 30 seconds left in the game? I thought Rivers was supposed to be good. The coaching staff thought running up the middle with Sproles was a better idea that letting Rivers pass.
Sproles didn't have a chance on that play....perfect timing by him + bad timing by the pulling guard....plus, the guard and fullback took a bad hole...even if somehow Ray Ray missed that, Ed reed and another dude got around the outside past the Guard and Fullback and were standing right there....no one outside of one of my childhood idol running backs (Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson) could've done anything with that, let alone get a first down!
he already knew what play was gunna happen,lewis said that he was studyng the chargers,and he noticed that the chargers ran that same play 3 times in a row,and he kept seeing a gap in the line every time,so when he saw the tight end go in motion he knew it was that play
im a ravens fan, but seriously chargers, in that situation i would never have put sproles in that situation. hes too small for that. but hey, everyone is small going against ray ray
Wow lamest fucking call by the announcers ever. Game saving fourth down stop where he comes flying in n hits him soon as he touches the ball and this boring ass announcer just mumbles some shit in a boring voice. Wheres gus johnson whenbyou need him or anyone who has emotions
The best thing about this play, even if Lewis misses the tackle, 3 other defenders lead by Landry #26 were all untouched and is his lane. This play was dead before the snap.
@joeshab123 he did what most middle linebackers are suppose to do on a trap play like this he went off of the pulling guards back. 75 percent of the time if the whole team tries to take on the guard especially with a RB that runs like darren sproles he is going to get at least 4-5 yards a play. so just saying think next time before you downgrade a great play like this
God damn being a chargers fan this play was painful to see, I don't know why we sent Sproles in to run the ball on a 4th and 2, should have been LT or at least a dump off quick pass. Either way great hit by Ray but bad memories
@200903433 they had the ball on ravvens 14 yard line... down 5 pts.. fiend goal is out of the question, if spoils just gets 3 yards, maybe they would of won the game
@Gateway420gr If I was in the shoes of the Chargers, I would have passed it on 4th down. Now, if it was 4th and 1, then mabye I would have ran it.....My plan would have been to pass it and get the 1st down and THEN run the ball to chew out the clock and score.
@2121westmax This year...yeah...we just need to upgrade Corey Redding (our DT) and when our LOLB Sergio Kindle comes back next season...we should be solid...
