It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Running right at Lewis has always been the way to attack the Ravens on the ground. His strength was always chasing and beating the blocking scheme to make plays in areas of the field a MLB usually doesnt get to.
Taking on blockers and plays run right at him was never his strength.
To answer the OP, of course he is a liability.
Why? That makes no sense. He is not as stout at the point of attack as anyone else on the Raven front 7.At this stage in his career, running away from him is a higher percentage play than running right at him.

Number of tackles doesnt really say much unless you have context.Lewis had a team high 17 tackles against the Broncos
Thats pretty sad since the other players around him are mostly 3 or more years younger than him.
The guy can still play,albeit a bit slower and little threat for a sack anymore
Why not? I'd like to see a lot of 2 back sets, with either Ridley/Vereen or Woodhead/Vereen. Vereen can be moved all over the place, and he can be used like a receiver as well as as a RB.
Anyone that starts a thesis with the words "Ray Lewis a liability on D.." needs their head examined..
I think the best bet is going to be motioning Vereen out wide, with Hernandez close in playing the traditional TE spot. Lewis isn't going to split outside to cover Vereen, so one of the other LBs will be forced to do it, leaving a much better chance that Lewis will be covering Hernandez, which would be a disaster for the Ravens.

He does seem to be a liability in certain areas, but they are 7-1 with him on the field and 5-5 with him on the sideline. Take it for what it's worth.

What about those who consider a message board post a "thesis?"
He's less stout due to injury, but running right at him is also running right at Ngata. Counters to make him chase and passing plays designed to match him up against a RB would be the best way to go.
