I’ve been watching old pre-sb era ravens games and I think we really under appreciated just how good ray rice was.
our OLs were solid, none were spectacular, the coordinating was super average, nothing like what we have now, ray rice just made so many plays.
I used to give him flack for having too many 0-1 yard carries and making his yardage off of big runs here and there, but that was a pretty wrong assessment. So many times you’d see him make one guy miss to turn a 2 yarder into a 10+ yarder, so many dump offs caught where defenders had him dead the rights and he got away for first downs with just unbelievable moves in the open field.
I’m surprised he didn’t lead our team in receiving yards every year
