This.

In all of these posts about Marvin Lewis’ defense in Baltimore this one hits home. There was no passive play, ever, and giving wide receivers “cushion” wasn’t part of the scheme. The 2000 Ravens had in my opinion a better defense than the 1985 Bears. I’m sure Marvin saw a bit of himself in Mike Zimmer because the Z-Fense had aggressive, destructive qualities too. If I were the Ravens I would be on edge this week. There’s a new defensive sheriff in town.
