| 25th September, 2008 - 5:54 pm |  Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Baltimore linebacker Ray Lewis believes that the Steelers are a better team with Willie Parker in the backfield, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"I haven't seen that much of [rookie running back Rashard] Mendenhall, but I just think that Willie is one of those warriors who is going to come and play the game right. ... When you lose a guy like that, I don't think that you try to replace him," Lewis said. "I think that they did a great job drafting Mendenhall. At the same time, I don't know the difference between him and Parker just yet. I think that losing what you lose with Willie is a lot of speed from the running back position."
Mendenhall, who will start against the Ravens this weekend, is familiar with Lewis.
"Oh, man I used to play with him on video games, so I know a lot about Ray Lewis. I mean, he's a great player, there's no doubt about it," Mendenhall said. "In this league, in this business, you're going to face great players every week. He's a great player, I look forward to playing against him." [READ] |
