Ray the weakest link?

John Czarnecki(Foxsports.com) wrote a piece about the teams most likely to make a run at the Super Bowl and their individual weaknesses.  For example the Arizona Cardinals it's quarterback because of Kurt Warner's departure. The Chargers were weak at cornerback because of Antonio Cromartie going to the Jets.

The good news is that our Baltimore Ravens were included in that discussion, the part I take issue with is our weakness was listed as Middle Linebacker...really?

Granted Ray Lewis has lost a step over his 15 years in the league but c'mon even if he is no longer considered the best MLB in football with that title perhaps belonging to Patrick Willis of San Francisco. However he is still better than almost everyone else and what he now may lack in foot speed he makes up for in experience and his trademark intensity.   Does anyone remember his hit he put on Darren Sprouls last season sealing the victory against San Diego?

Saying that Ray Lewis is our soft spot is simply ridiculous.
