Sitting in doctors office chatting with a Ravens fan who was on one of their message boards. Don't know how to copy and paste link on my phone.

So they are talkin about a hit from 2001 from Ray on Bettis. Saying he knocked him the **** out and that should be Ray Ray's HOF clip and from that point on ducked the Ravens??? Even one sayin atleast eddie George didn't hide

I don't discount Ray got a good stick on a guy twice his size, but have no recollection of Bus hiding from Ray and remember Kreider and Bus also laying out Ray.

I also remember George dodging both steelers and ravens, but to paint Bettis as a ***** who was afraid of Ray is total bullshit.
 
They seriously celebrating that hit as a KO? Bus got right up after a big play. Its tackle football jagoffs, guys get hit.
 
To tackle a guy as he goes forward, after gaining yards, is no huge thing. Nice hit though.
 
Ray was a good tackler but never a hard hitter. He weighs as much as Bettis' thigh so if he hit him off balance, yes it probably looked fierce but I doubt the Bus batted an eye at squaring up on Ray the next play. Hell, I remember Amos Zereoue knocking Ray Ray back 5 yards for a TD when Ray Ray squared up to put a lick on him one-on-one and all of Amos Zereoue's 5-7 200lbs took on the killer and knocked him into the end zone.
 
well, we know RayRay was ducking Peezy.

I dunno, Bussy got right up and was jawing at Ray Ray. I don't see anything spectacular there. A lot of people tackled the Bus every game, it's not like he ran for a TD every time he touched the ball.
 
That's Ratbird fans for ya, celebrating after giving up 15 yards.
 
celebrating a hit that is 13 years old? Don't we see those kind of hits practically every game? It was a nice hit, but hardly something I'd be pumping chests over. If that's Lewis' defining hit, then they either are not looking hard enough or he didn't register enough to be considered "punishing".

I was expecting the Bus' helmet to go flying, mouthpiece being picked off the turf and atleast a 10-count from the hit. Disappointing.
 
I wonder if they have a thread on that one. He got punked.
Joey was going onto the Rats' team bus to get at ol' Slice and Dice
 
My God...Peezy would knock the taste of of Old Slice's mouth.

As for the hit...looks like a regular tackle to me. Nothing earth shaking going on there.

I prefer the Kreider smashing Murder Ray into dust clip. Then Old Slice gets up and asks JB "who does that guy think he is?". LOLZ.
 
Ironic to see Rats fans celebrating a big hit...the ones I know still whine and cry about a WR's hit on Ed Reed.

Ooops, I didn't read down far enough but I see they are still whining in that thread about it.

neither one of those hits are ****. not ray on bus, not eddie george on ray
mfs just searching for ****
 
****, rayray is the greatest tackler ever!!!! Ask him some time. He gets tackles while standing on the side lines with crutches. His JB tackle wasn't "all that" , god tackle but JBs been hit a lot harder. As for the eddie George tackle, looked like rayray grabed George's face mask on the way down. These gayven fans, need something to hang onto, Maybe the Dan Kreider pancake would fill their bellies?


Salute the nation
 
Does Dick Enberg know what an 'open field tackle' is?

RayRay got 3 tackles before you finished typing that.
 
If we're talking about big hits...
 
That hit would necessarily cost Jones big money nowadays, ah the good ole days when boys were boys and football was football.

Bingo.

Bebe was the real deal, and kudos to him for hanging on to that ball. I miss the block numbers, too.
