Many people stood amazed, as Americans felt a change come over them. I never thought I would see a nation so ready for change. We want to be able to look at ourselves, and know that the lives we lead, one day will be a better place to raise our families. Over the past ten years, I have felt a change in how I view life and my role in my community. I've always wanted to stop the buses as we entered the visiting stadiums and knock on the doors of the people who can not afford to attend the games. So often we spend more time cheering our "Athletes" than wondering who lives in the run down neighborhoods where our stadiums are built. I was once told by a teammate as a rookie that "You can only Run from the truth so long". Have we been running? Have we really been good neighbors? I know as a football player it is my job to not only be the best in my position, but to be a good citizen. I love the mentality that we have as players on game day. It does not matter who we are playing, how far we have to travel, we are expecting to win. I want my teammates to give their best, not only on game day but also throughout the week. Yes, the win is important, but the process to becoming a winner is also important . Our process as Ravens, has lead to a 6-3 record, we accept every win as well as the defeats. We have learned more in our defeats than our victories, because as players we want to know how can we get better. We are constantly working very hard on "Chasing Perfection", hopefully each week we won't make the same mistakes and get better as a team, so stay tuned, because........ HERE COME THE RAVENS
