I thought it was Common Knowledge Ray Lewis was a MLB in the 4-3 who was quite Vocal about the Ravens switching to the 3-4...

Yes he did play in a 4-3 and it was very briefly. Not sure what this actually has to do with the point trying to be made. They have not run a 4-3 in umpteen years if I am not mistaken he only played in the 4-3 with Baltimore in his rookie season.

Um no? They were a 4-3 team before Marvin took over,They were a 4-3 team when marvin was a DC and switched to the 3-4 after he left.

Maualuga also cost the Bengals one more on the strong side, but cannot remember the team, Same ending though, TD and because Rey blew his assignment. Figure the one youtube clip is enough proof to the pudding for now.

the other team was Houston.
On the play:
Schaub was scrambling well kind of toward the sideline; Rey was on the mid level reciever (cant remember exactly who it was); Rey broke off the receiver to come up and help on Schaub; Schaub threw it to the guy Rey was supposed to be on; and TD.

The announcer on television (Rich Gannon I think) called out Rey on this, stating that he should never leave his assigned man in those instances, allowing for an easy TD.


-
Rey will learn these things as time goes by.
And just because some people may be "haters" (which could very well be the case here) does not mean that they aren't correct sometimes.

I hope what you're saying is correct.
However,
Rich Gannon (I think it was: or whomever the analyst on television was) stated that what Rey did in this instance was not the correct thing to do.

You mean that guy who questioned the bengals for kicking it on 3rd down with time left on the clock in overtime? who played quarterback yet didn't realize that the reason you give yourself extra time is 1.) Cribbs doesn't get to return it & 2.)You want time so encase a bad snap happens They fall on the ball and try to kick it again...That Rich Gannon?

I think in this situation what they were referring to was that HAD Rey stayed with his coverage it would have forced Ben to run with the ball instead of dumping it off to the RB. Had Ben then ran with the ball it would have put us in a situation to make a play on HIM and possibly limit the play to possibly 5 yards and bring him past the line of scrimmage. Also, it would have been nice if 1. We got a good hit on him. and 2. Our defenders who Rey may have thought were there on his backside to assist MADE THE TACKLE. So alot of things are in play but its basically that Rey should have stayed with the Rb. Either way, ive been in a situation like that and can understand both sides but ones natural reaction would be to close on the QB to prevent the scramble or go for the sack. Ben is just able to make those plays outside the pocket, like he always has.

Also; Rich Gannon is a commentator. Many of them are wrong and he's no coach. But i do remember the comment and had nothing happened on the play and it forced an interception...im sure Gannon's statement would have changed. Its easy to critique a mistake when the outcome is like that.

Gotta be a translation thing. I get it in the way you can make out words just based on the fact that they start and end with the correct letter but all the letters in the middle are jumbled. Happens... the english language here in America has so many variations. I would probably make the same errors myself. I feel what he is saying though, in the sig. Says they are from the South Pacific too. Man, i wish i could be from there!!! I havent seen an ocean in years! Closes i get to exotic here in Omaha is the abundant amount of corn. The local sports bar has like multiple acres of corn behind it. Everytime i see it i dont think Children of the Corn... i think SIGNS and how i can kill any alien hiding in the corn with a gallon of water. Or a super soaker.

Dude, you can't use your massive man-crush to will Rey into the starting MLB/leader of the D. If message board man-crushing was that powerful then Jerome Simpson, Corey Lynch, and Ndukwe would already be HOF bound.

Rey is not ready to play MLB (yet) and if he was you can bet that that's where he'd be playing. He's on the field now because he's got the talent to play LB in the NFL but that's it. He'll have to earn and prove to the coaches that he's ready to step up to a leadership role on a team of grown men. Respect is earned, it's not assumed when a draft pick signs his rookie contract.

He'll get his shot at MLB when he earns it in the coaches’ eyes (or Dhani gets a sweet deal from TLC to star in "Dhani and Kate Plus 8" and leave the team mid-season) and shows the rest of the team that he deserves the respect that comes along with it.

Rey is a rookie..and playing a position he has never played before.

Have patience, even with the errors, the guy is disruptive and a force.
