MEET THE RAVENS

Dick Butkus. Lawrence Taylor. Ray Lewis. Such is the reputation of Ray Lewis that any discussion of the greatest linebackers in NFL history must include “Ray-Ray.” Number 52 had it all: great instincts, good speed, and vicious hitting power. As Miami Dolphins general manager Randy Mueller said, “He wants to break someone in half each time he hits them.” Lewis’s ability was made evident by the slew of awards won during his career—2 NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards (2000 and 2003), a Super Bowl Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, and 13 Pro Bowl selections. But what truly elevated him into the realm of all-time greats was the passion and vocal leadership he brought onto the field. Fellow Ravens defenders played with an extra bit of energy for fear of letting Lewis down. Lewis’s legacy was tarnished somewhat in February 2000, when he was charged with murder after two men were killed outside an Atlanta nightclub during a Super Bowl party. He was ultimately cleared of the most serious charges and came back to lead his team to victory in the Super Bowl a year later.

Ray LewisLINEBACKER / RAVENS SEASONS: 1996–PRESENT / HEIGHT: 6-FOOT-1 / WEIGHT: 245 POUNDS

as Woodson, Starks, and cornerback Chris McAllister, the Ravens could put a stranglehold on opposing

offenses. But with the exception of Ogden, Baltimore’s offense had just mediocre ability.

Billick loved coordinating offenses that featured high-powered passing attacks. But in Baltimore, he

didn’t have the type of talent needed to run an explosive offense through the air. Instead, he installed a

low-risk, run-oriented offense, choosing to play conservatively with the ball and rely on his fierce defense

to hold opponents down.

The Ravens started the 1999 season 3–6. But then the team took flight, averaging 26 points per game

the rest of the year. Much of the offensive spark came when backup quarterback Tony Banks stepped

in at midseason and tossed 17 touchdown passes—many of them to receiver Qadry Ismail, a speedster

who piled up more than 1,000 receiving yards. Behind these efforts and those of the NFL’s second-best

defense, Baltimore won five of its last seven games to finish 8–8. “We’ve built a little fire here,” said

Coach Billick. “It will be interesting to see how big it gets.”

H oping to add fuel to their fire, the Ravens used the fifth overall pick of the 2000

NFL Draft to select University of Tennessee running back Jamal Lewis, a big,

powerful ballcarrier with the ability to wear down opposing defenses. The Ravens

also added offensive firepower by signing veteran tight end Shannon Sharpe and

former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Trent Dilfer. Sharpe gave the Ravens a

sure-handed target, while Dilfer was signed to serve as Banks’s backup.

The Ravens soared to a 5–1 start in 2000. The fearsome defense led the way, not allowing a single

point in three of those six games. But the Ravens’ offense, which had looked so promising at the end

of the previous season, got worse in 2000. Banks’s performance was marked by interceptions, fumbles,

“He wants to break someone in half.”

“The books in the ‘Amazing Animals’ series … dazzle when it comes to the full-page (and large pages

at that), dynamically colored photographs of animals in their native habitats.”

BooklistReview of Amazing Animals

“Riveting, close-up photos … will draw young audiences to these introductions.”

School Library JournalReview of Creepy Creatures

“The layout is uniformly simple but effective, constructed with a nice balance of main text for the

report writers, smaller chunks of esoterica for browsers, and … killer photos. All in all, upper-echelon

animal books for middle-grade researchers.”

BooklistReview of Living Wild

“‘The NBA: A History of Hoops’ series uses a format similar to the publisher’s excellent ‘NFL Today’

series, which means plenty of technical, hard-driving game recaps paired with giant-size photos that

freeze-frame the sweat and glory of pro basketball.”
