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.
This is exactly what I remembered as I read this post. Good memory. Guess Ravens fans forget things in between the end of the Atlanta Super Bowl and The Hail May against the Broncos.
