Wilson: Ray Lewis thinks Jamal Lewis should keep playing

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis is serious about his plans to retire after this season.

However, Baltimore Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis, who will face off with his friend Monday night, doesn't agree with that decision.

“Hopefully, he gets a spark that changes his mind,” Ray Lewis said. “Do I want him to leave? No. He has plenty of football left. I think he should ride it out.”

Even though Jamal Lewis isn't having a banner season with the 1-7 Browns, the Ravens are concerned about defending the former NFL Offensive Player of the Year.

“If you don’t swarm-tackle him, he’s going to embarrass you,” defensive end Terrell Suggs said. “Jamal, he’s like Juggernaut. You’ve seen the movie X-Men? When he gets that thing rolling, he’s going to be hard to stop.

“We’re definitely going to have to be all around him, taking shots at his legs in order to get him down. Have got to gang-tackle this guy. I think somebody asked me last week about backs that are hard to take down. He’s definitely one of them.”
