"You know the old saying about rocking the boat? The Ravens do, too. Which is why there is absolutely zero chance they'll address the declining productivity of Ray Lewis and Ed Reed anytime soon.

That's an issue for the off-season, not for a team with its sights set on the Super Bowl. It's too explosive. That wouldn't be just rocking the boat. That would be lobbing a stick of dynamite in the boat, too.

So I disagree with my buddy Mike Preston, who wrote Tuesday that the time has come for John Harbaugh to talk to his two future Hall of Famers about their diminished play and what the team should do about it.

Has Ray Lewis, the greatest inside linebacker to ever play the game, lost a step or two? Absolutely. Is he a liability dropping into coverage? Probably."
