2K10: Quoth The Ravens

CBSSportsLine.com's Clark Judge on the Ravens' abilities in 2010:
"I have a lot of faith in [the Ravens], because certain teams know themselves, and this is one of those ball clubs. And, they always seem to find a way to get in the playoffs, and I look at the team this year and go, "Wow, they're not only going to get into the playoffs, they're going to go deep.'"

LB Terrell Suggs on the Ravens gearing up for a playoff run:
"At some point, you're going to have to play smash-mouth football, and there ain't a team in the business better than we are at that. That's who we are. Wherever the road may take us, we're ready for whatever lies ahead."

NFL Network's Solomon Wilcots on Lewis being the NFL's best LB:
"Still at No. 1, after 14 years in the league, he's a poster boy for middle linebackers, the Godfather and still reigning champion, that's right - Ray Lewis. He can run, hit, cover [and is] a wicked tackler. He can wreck your game plan. The way 'Ray Ray' continues to defy his age is superhuman."

LB Ray Lewis on leadership and maintaining the Ravens' high standard on defense:
"The coach's job is to give us the playbook and show us what you want to do. But my job is to evaluate my players and get the best out of them - what I know they can do. I think that's one of my greatest gifts - to be able to [help teammates] pull out of themselves what they thought they could never do. It's what I dedicate to the game, to help players around me. It's been that way from Day One around here - no matter who's the coach, no matter who's the coordinator."

QB Joe Flacco on expectations and pressure situations:
"Bottom line, it's on me. You guys [sports reporters] are going to put it on me. It falls on the quarterback. It's a team game. If I'm great, it doesn't mean we're going to win. It the team's great, I can make us lose. It    goes both ways. I can play great, and we win. I can play a crappy game, and we can win or lose. It's going to fall on me. But I'm ready for that. I want it to fall on me."
