At any rate, does this do a ton for the Ravens? I don't see McNair getting a superbowl ring with this team.
Comes down to a couple of things. 1. Is that Defense still capable of shutting people down, or is it getting too old. 2. What can Jamal Lewis bring to the table?
The Ravens don't have the strongest O-Line in the league, or at least they didn't last year, and I don't know if it'll get much better. Their Defense was #10 in points per game, down from a few years ago during their dominatnt years. But their offense was 24th in the league in yards, and tied with Houston for 25th in Points.
If their Defense can hold together, or get better with Ngata in the middle, and Jamal Lewis can return to form, this could literally be enough to push them over the top. But as you can tell, that's a lot of If's, especially as Ray Lewis gets older.
