Here's what Lewis had to say on ESPN before Monday Night Football (transcription via Baltimore Sun):

We talk about the transition of losing so many guys, a guy like myself and Ed Reed and other guys that are based off leadership, I've said it earlier: "Where would the leadership come from?"


As much as I enjoy a good old-fashioned Ray Lewis word salad, I don't think a lack of "leadership" was the cause of the fracas. If the Ravens really want to prevent things like this from happening in the future, they should probably just stop hanging out with Bryant McKinnie.
