Steve Smith says Ravens build bullies: 'We take your lunch box'

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith has learned a lot in his time in Maryland.

After spending the first 13 seasons of his pro career in Carolina, the veteran has adapted well to his new surroundings, and it seems he's really taken quite well to them.

“When I look in the defensive meeting room and I see ‘Play Like a Raven, Baltimore Ravens, We Build Bullies,' that's what I'm talking about,” Smith told Comcast SportsNet's Brian Mitchell, via The Washington Post. 

“When I think of a Baltimore Raven - and I'm a Baltimore Raven - what I think of is we go in there, we take your lunch box, we take your sandwich, we take your juice box, we take your applesauce, and we take your spork and we break it. And we leave you with an empty lunch. That's the Baltimore Raven way, that's the bully way, and that's football.”

Given the Richie Incognito bullying scandal that the Miami Dolphins endured a year ago, Smith is venturing into a touchy subject, but his mentions of lunch boxes and juice boxes show the harmless nature of his comments.

Smith brings 836 career receptions and 12,197 receiving yards with him to Baltimore.
