John Harbaugh Q&A: Ray Lewis will get old, but 'hopefully not before Sunday'

On how LB Ray Lewis has not lost a step and whether he will ever get old: "Yeah, he will eventually. (laughter) Hopefully not before Sunday, though. He's playing that way – he is. I'm sure he's not the same linebacker he was 10 years ago, but he may be better than he was 10 years ago in a lot of ways. Just look at the tape and see how he plays. I think what you're saying is exactly right. He's one of the all-time great football players, without question. And he's still playing at that level."

On the difference that S Ed Reed makes to the defense: "I think that would probably be a better question for offensive coordinators playing against us – what they have to take into account. But obviously, Ed's a playmaker. You never know exactly where he's going to show up. Obviously, the offense has to account for him at all times, and that's good for us. That's something that's going to help us. And we haven't had that up until last week. Obviously, we didn't play very well on defense last week. We were disappointed with the way we played. Ed was back there. That's something that we've got to do better."
