		Like a tai chi master, Billick is not resisting a potentially negative force so much as he's trying to channel it so it isn't harmful.

		He came to the conclusion that in order for the Ravens to remain a great team, he has to bring his players back to their childhood playgrounds, where games were played because they were games.
