Elam calls Megatron 'pretty old'

[joeybee12]

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens safety Matt Elam nearly ran out of breath trying to come up with words to describe wide receiver Calvin Johnson, the main object of focus for the team's defensive backfield Monday night in Detroit.

"Big, fast, athletic, unstoppable, freak,'' Elam said.

Curiously, Elam went in another direction when asked how best to cover the 28-year-old Johnson, who's amassed a club-record 9,184 yards receiving and 67 touchdowns in less than seven years.

"He's pretty old, so I don't know how physical he'll be,'' Elam said. "He's a big guy, but he's older. I guess when they get older they're not going to be as physical, you know what I'm saying? We're going to have to be physical, make him uncomfortable.''

1. Calvin eats safety's like Elam for breakfast.

Washes them down with linebackers.

2. I don't remember ever being young enough to think 28 was old!
