Ray Lewis fondly remembers Marvin Lewis
Some nice thoughts this week from Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis on Marvin Lewis, the man who coached him in Baltimore before he became the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Ray Lewis said this week that the Sunday Ravens-Bengals matchup against Marvin Lewis is a special one for him:
“Yeah, the teacher and the pupil from day one,” said Ray Lewis of Marvin Lewis . “It’s always about what he’s thinking over there and what he’s telling the guys. So the bottom line is that you always have to prepare for that. You always have to prepare for the little things that he’s going to tell them about you or tell them that they can do this or they can do that. You’re always trying to counter it one way or another.”
Marvin Lewis has stated a similar appreciation for Ray Lewis in the past. Here’s a nice read from 2007 which suggested Marvin Lewis was desperately looking for a defensive leader like Ray Lewis.
“There’s some stability there,” (Marvin Lewis) said. “And Ray’s been not only that as a player, but also as the leader in setting the standard of how things are done.”
One wonders what Marvin Lewis could’ve done if he really could have build a defense like he coaches in Baltimore, centered around Ray Lewis.
Regardless, the two men seem to have kept a fondness for one another.
