IMO, he could easily be a top defensive coordinator in the NFL right now. He's field awareness and ability to read the opposing offense pre-snap, is second to none. And that alone is the reason that he's able to continue playing, despite losing sideline to sideline speed. When you know where the offensive play is going 95% of the time before the ball is snapped, you will always anticipate quicker than the opponent. His intellect and physical work ethic is the reason he's still going strong. He's no dummy.
He also used to be able to shock O-lineman with stiff arms to move them aside and make tackles. But he's lost that strength because I've seen him get pancacked by lineman more frequently over the past few seasons. Still...among the top 3 inside linebackers in the NFL and that's still pretty damn good.
Go Ravens. God, I hope we put a serious ass whipping on the Jets. I can't stand that team. If Mangold doesn't play, Ngata should have a field day in their backfield.
