My initial thought when the notion of Antonio Pierce bringing aboard veteran coach Marvin Lewis in for a full-time role?
“Now here’s a coach that captained a domineering defense that won a Super Bowl in spite of a middling quarterback.”
The Context
Lewis helmed the Baltimore Ravens defense as the defensive boss from 1996 to 2001 and his tenure there was capped by the 34-7 obliteration of the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV on Jan. 28, 2001. The Ravens showcased Trent Dilfer as signal caller in that Super Bowl win over the G-Men and for half the regular season.
