Must be such an awesome situation as a young linebacker sitting there with Ray Lewis. He probably watched him as a kid and now he gets to have a 1 on 1 session with him.
@@andrewfung9340he’s only 26 that’s still pretty young. And being in your prime doesn’t really have to do with your age it’s just your best years of ball
When Ray pointed out the communication factor or more so, lack of, definitely the most insightful point. If Roquan can evolve his game to that level, where he has the defense all on the same page through communication...man, good stuff will happen.
It’s good to see Ray after the loss of his son. Good to see him picking back up. I know he must have had a challenging year or so. Great video. Love this!
I am pretty sure this was actually shot before that tragic travesty of a Summer incident though. Notice this combined entity - which I will aptly, appropriately & fittingly deem the moniker of 'Ray-quan' - happens to be sitting in the 'War Room' (says "Draft Room" on screen behind them, if one is observant enough) likely at 'The Castle' in Owings Mills. Plus, they are also only looking at last year's 2022-2023 regular season/postseason film. It just so happened to be released now, thus probably allowing for the makers to still slip in some more recent Week 1 clips as standard, supplemental, 'B-roll' footage for augmentation purposes. Hence, I imagine this production was probably in the can since approximately Spring 2023, sometime around the draft. Not that it takes away from the coolness factor of this video whatsoever, mind you, I am just pointing out some minor, minute, minuscule details. Or, in other words, I'm "just saying"...
4:39 I got goosebumps seeing Ray teach Roquan about the importance of communication and teamwork. He’s still young and can hopefully lead that defense with the same leadership as Ray
Lost in all the physicality is the fact that these guys have extremely high playmaking instincts. Not because they hit hard, not because they're athletic. But because they study the hell outta the game.
Met roquan right before he got drafted. He signed a couple of things for us and we talked about his new BMW that he just got. Very humble person and great personality. Was glad he was dawg so I could see him play the game at Georgia! Go Dawgs
So glad EDC made the at trade. He is the definition of Play like a Raven. Love His Heart and motor. He just flashes on every play. Has made Queen a better player. I hope we can afford both of them at there age for another 5-6 yrs can be dominate
still pissed my bears traded him away. he was the heart of our defense and we havent won a football game since the trade. Ryan poles absolutely wiffed on replacing him
We have one of the Greatest if not the Greatest LB in the History of the Game in Ray Lewis. BUT WE ALSO HAVE the closest comparison to Ray Ray in today's NFL. When we traded for Roquan last year, it was like OH! MY! GOD! We hadn't had a player that mentally sound at that position and of that quality since Ray. With Agent Zero we have that. I wondered what it would be like if we had Lamar and Ray on the same team. Now we're seeing that except in this case Roquan is playing the role of Ray. All we can hope for is that Kyle Hamilton plays the role of Ed Reed. With how he's been playing since he was drafted last year, he's on the right track. Love my Ravens!
Honestly this is absolute gold. Rays been talking about how defenses don't watch enough tape and they don't communicate ever since he left the game. I hope this helps roquan because this defense has a lot of talent.
Those old school STEELERS VS RAVENS games were some of the BEST football games all time!!! Absolutely BRUTAL at times!!! Polamalu and that D vs Lewis and their D...Was fun to watch...RESPECT TO LEWIS AND THE RAVENS D from this Steeler fan...💯✌️
@@christopherharris3229 Brother as a Bears fan and I don't know if you are but that is not the case my man, Roquan is definitely better than our current linebackers and we should not have traded him we are a joke even more now than what we were the last few years. We at least had a defense some years but now we got jack all my man so overall Roquan would be worth every damn penny in my opinion of course.
@@christopherharris3229bruh you tripping Roquan headed to a half of fame career, we got him for second rounder that’s the definition of a steal for a top 5 linebacker
This got me pumped up watching this. This was exactly like watching Bruce Lee learn from his Master William Cheung. This is gonna be an EPIC Ravens season! I TRULY BELIEVE!
not even kidding, this conversation right here is why the ravens defense is #1 in the league right now..roquan is leading the younger players and communicating at a high level
Roquan brought the life back into The Ravens defense! I'm so glad to see him studying with Ray and taking notes. He could be the next Ray Lewis once he gets his voice and can make a grown man cry from a speech.
What Ray describes at 4:20 is exactly what Patrick Queen used to do before Roquan came on the squad. It’s why Queen is now a pro bowler now instead of an average LB
The General!!!!! He communicated he led, he was inspiring man I just enjoyed watching ray and I enjoy watching roquan too even though I’m a browns fan.
Actually the best thing he can possibly do is sit down with Ray and pick his brain and bring it to the defense in his own way. The communication is key and that's something we need more of on defense
It’s like Ray talking to his younger self. I didn’t think I’d appreciate a LB like Ray Lewis, but Ro is on his way. You can see him communicating on the field now; and that man is dangerous. From Mike Singletary to Ray Lewis to Roquan Smith…that’s a scary lineage.
As a Bears fan I’ll never forgive the front office for letting this dude walk. Our entire franchise is nothing but HOF linebackers and Roquon is worthy of that mantle. Happy to see him on an actual contending team during his prime years though. Hoping the Ravens do it all this year, shout-out Edgar Allen Poe
I mean Zach Orr is the Ravens current ILB coach. Undrafted FA who became a 2016 All Pro LB for the Ravens before he had to retire early due to a spinal injury. Not a bad guy to learn from.
@@to4316no disrespect on him he’s a dog too but ray is ray you get him coaching your players never need to do a speech ever the linebackers know that his reputation is them so they are going to play their hearts out
Roquan is one of the best blitzing linebackers ever take it from a Bears fan. If he did it often he would have 14 to 15 sacks a year off of his speed and how he explodes.
The game is so much faster and spreaded out nowadays, just to be able to cover, stop the run, side line to side line is amazing to see. And the have Ray give you nuggets is totally awesome.
Something is still off about getting him for a 2nd round pick. I get he was a little pricey for Chicago, but he’s a special player that you don’t get rid of. He’s like a mix of 50cent and Denzel Washington. As a Maryland guy, I’m so excited to watch this guy grow. His charisma makes him even easier to follow into battle. Love this dude.
Cut from the same cloth. You see what having a leader like Roquan has done for this defense...his intensity, the way he gets other guys up and keeps them up, the way he lets his play talk for itself. Roquan is a Raven for life.
I played in high school, and the important thing our coach said, was to watch film, over and over again, learn your opponents footwork, some wideouts, and tight-ends are superstitious, they do certain things while on the line right before plays that give themselves away.
“Have the #1 defense in the league”
My man spoke it into existence.

Yep
‼️
And did the work
Must be such an awesome situation as a young linebacker sitting there with Ray Lewis. He probably watched him as a kid and now he gets to have a 1 on 1 session with him.
I wouldn’t say Roqun is young he’s just in his prime. He’s like the same age as ray when ray got rod Woodson to mentor him
@@andrewfung9340he’s only 26 that’s still pretty young. And being in your prime doesn’t really have to do with your age it’s just your best years of ball

You know you've done something right in your career to find yourself watching film with Ray as a linebacker.

I need this to be at least 2 hours long
😂😂🤣🤣FACTS
Yes
Hell yeah 😅😅😅
Right, i wish these were so much longer! Lol especially with Ray and Roquan.
No thanks
Watching Ray Lewis talk about Football is like watching Gordon Ramsay cook, so much valuable information so effortlessly.
One of the best analogies I've ever heard. Your cooking with grease my guy.💯🎯🫕
Real talk
You can see the passion in their eyes -- it's hard not to get glued in.
this almost shed a tear in my eye because ray teaching him how to communicate with his defense and help them make more plays
beautifully said
When Ray pointed out the communication factor or more so, lack of, definitely the most insightful point. If Roquan can evolve his game to that level, where he has the defense all on the same page through communication...man, good stuff will happen.
Facts
Look at how the 2 games been played so far , he been doing what Ray said.
@RavenCee Facts allowed 17 Points to the Bengals (Special Teams allowed 7). No Touchdowns to HOU.
That’s why Ray was great for 17 years
That was sad nfl drop off guys not studying todays game
It’s good to see Ray after the loss of his son. Good to see him picking back up. I know he must have had a challenging year or so. Great video. Love this!
Definitely man…

@@S4UBSTR4LIEN_M4RRSUPI4Lwhat a ton of wasted big words you compiled
“He’s a young boy, you got to raise him” there’s a reason he is the greatest to ever do it
I played that part several times. That line is greatness in a nutshell.
And now that young boy Kyle Hamilton just made the Pro Bowl is probably the best Safety in the NFL at 22 years old
I have never played football. But I’m ready to play after listening to Ray.
Ahahaha I love it
Same, and im 44! 😂
😂😂😂😂
“I’m a Machine, Jerk!” GOATED! 😂👏🏽👏🏽
Put that on a t-shirt
"You carry my jock!!!" 😂
One of one. Ray "The Machine " Lewis
Look at roquan smith, so inspirational allowing this Ray Lewis guy to break down film with him
Ikr, usually younger fans are the ones who get to interact with the players. So happy that roquan chose to instead show love to an older fan
Don't know who this "ray lewis" guy is.. but damn he's bulky. I bet if we gave him some pads he might be able to put a good hit on a few people 🤔
@@Beezle66 for sure

I swear it was dope 👏🏾👏🏾
Ray and Ro. A legend and a legend in the making 💜
Lost in all the physicality is the fact that these guys have extremely high playmaking instincts. Not because they hit hard, not because they're athletic. But because they study the hell outta the game.

Love this and the fact the ray is willing to help him and team grow !! We are destined for greatness Baltimore is family 💯💯
This man Ray was getting into breaking that film down prob coulda went for hours talking
I would have watched as many hours as it would have been, too.. wish this were a bit longer.
He had his own QB film room. That’s how much film Eay studied. He studied as much as any QB ever
This aged like fine wine #1 defense coming into 2024
So glad EDC made the at trade. He is the definition of Play like a Raven. Love His Heart and motor. He just flashes on every play. Has made Queen a better player. I hope we can afford both of them at there age for another 5-6 yrs can be dominate
Yep, Queen is awesome, but he’s a “Robin”….Smith is Batman all day…they make one another better
glad people are realizing he made queen better, he can actually kinda tackle now
Easily could become another Lewis and Suggs
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 the best way to compare it is like Patrick Willis had Navorro bowman
still pissed my bears traded him away. he was the heart of our defense and we havent won a football game since the trade. Ryan poles absolutely wiffed on replacing him

Growing up with ray, even today when he speaks, I listen
Such a legend

Good to see Ray laughing and smiling given the cards life dealt him recently 👍🏻🏴
I wish the Ravens would bring Ray back as a coach. It would be awesome to have his energy and insight in the building every day.
Price is too high
They will when Ray wants to
@@calebsmith254too high?!? He should just be a consultant

I still can't believe the Bears traded him to us.. _especially_ what they wanted for him. Ravens got a steal.
Bears replaced Roquan with a rookie UDFA and got exactly the same play. Good riddance to overpaid and overrated ILBs 😂

That crazy thing is... all of those hits are clean today.... they led with their shoulder and everything... holy hell
This lesson is literally priceless!

Ro "no doubt"
Ray "so you got to raise him"
That's why Ray is the goat. He provoked greatness.
Absolutely
Imagine them 2 as a prime mike duo lmao
He called it!! #1 defense!!
you gotta love how humble, attentive and respectful roquan is to ray man, and ray truly is a legend on and off the field. one of a kind.
My HS fb coach called him a “lil Ray Lewis 2.0” glad to see Roquan in Purple 💜

I could watch both of them all day, they're blessings at that position
Saved to my Favorites list immediately! 😤💪🏾💪🏾 Let’s Go Ravens!!!

Man.. looks like Ray could still play. What an animal. Both of them really are some of the best in the business
i just gotta say it's crazy how no matter what era of ravens you bring up they have always had great defensive players
It’s crazy how Ray Lewis is still built like a monster and is bigger than Roquan Smith.
Seeing how the Ravens defense is playing. Smith took Ray’s advice & preached it to the team
Its great after the video RO said #1 Defense in the league, guess where the 2023 ravens defense is... Well done sir. #number1inleague
MAAAAAAN what a manifestation no.1 DEFENSE BABY
Ray needs to be the ravens linebackers coach. You think roquan and queen are good now… if that ever happened these guys would be unstoppable
Been saying it for ages that he would be so good at it

Watching Ray Lewis teaching anybody how to become a better linebacker is terrifying for an NFL offense
damn not even 20 seconds in ray going crazy pause!!!! 0:14 lmfaoo
Kellen Winslow got lit up
2:50 play vs saints was wild footwork💪🏾
It's always fascinating to listen to great players talk the game. They see the game in a way that everyone else doesn't.
Both of em dawgs😤😤😤
Yeah baby. My two favorite players on Ravens D. Papa Ray showing love to Ro. I love it. Go Ravens! 💜🖤💜
Yooo the angle from behind the Saints, I wasn't paying attention, and I was confused why Kamara was mirroring Roquon lul
I could watch this all day! I love when they talk X and Os! This should've def been longer!
I could watch them together for -hours.- No, DAYS.
I could listen to Ray & Roquan talk football all day.
It’s like the ravens didn’t even need a d coordinator when he played he called all the plays and made checks by himself greatest LB of all time
bears and ravens have some of the best linebackers in history and this guy adds to the list for both teams
Roquan is one of the best blitzing linebackers ever take it from a Bears fan. If he did it often he would have 14 to 15 sacks a year off of his speed and how he explodes.
