Sal Paolantonio of ESPN reports in the current SportsCenter loop that Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis had some choice words after Monday night's 27-20 loss to the Bengals.

Rushing out of the locker room following a game in which the Baltimore offense played poorly, Lewis told Paolantonio: "I can't have that. I can't have six turnovers. Not with this defense. I can't go back to that."

The offensive woes supposedly were fixed in Baltimore after coach Brian Billick jettisoned offensive coordinator Jim Fassel and took over the duties personally. And the offseason acquisition of running back Willis McGahee raised expectations, since McGahee was viewed as a clear upgrade over Jamal Lewis.

But the problem appears to be the lack of a solid offensive line -- and the loss of Tony Pashos and Edwin Mulitalo, two starters from a year ago, hurts the team's chances. With Jonathan Ogden limping off of the field early after aggravating a nagging toe injury, it might be even harder for quarterbacks Steve McNair and/or Kyle Boller to find enough time to get rid of the ball, or to remain in one complete, uninterrupted piece.

As to the Lewis arm injury, he told Paolantonio that he believes he suffered a torn triceps. Ravens doctors told Paolantonio that it's not the main triceps. An MRI will be conducted on Tuesday.
