Hesitation.
It’s “lethal,” says former Ravens head coach Brian Billick. It’s lethal across the board – in running backs, quarterbacks or play callers.
But hesitation is exactly what Jamal Lewis sees when he watches the Ravens run game.
The former Ravens’ back, who rumbled for more than 2,000 yards in 2003 and helped establish the smash-mouth running style in Baltimore, admitted that he had a few different years when he played with hesitation.
So he knows it when he sees it. But he also knows what it takes to correct it, and believes the Ravens are capable of doing so.
“I’ve watched [Ray] Rice and I’ve watched [bernard] Pierce and you can [see] their hesitation,” Lewis told WNST. “It’s more of one of those things, do you have confidence in the system? Do you have confidence in your offensive line? Do you have confidence in yourself that you know where everyone is supposed to be?”
