Reaper 21 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 mcclain moving on? Baltimore Ravens running back Le'Ron McClain is designated as a fullback but has shown capabilities as a bruising tailback as well, specifically during the 2008 season, when he racked up 902 yards and 10 touchdowns. Though McClain seems ridiculously happy in his profile picture in the ESPN.com database, he's a little disappointed with his carries -- or lack thereof -- during the 2010 campaign. "It's a great fit blocking in this offense, if that's all you want to do every week," McClain said, via Aaron Wilson of National Football Post. "When you feel like you can give a lot more and have proven you can do a lot more and all you're doing is blocking, it's a little frustrating at times. ... I gave it my all. With all my heart and might and will, I blocked for Ray Rice. My frustration comes from wanting to do more. When we lost that game against Pittsburgh in the playoffs to not even get one attempt, it was pretty frustrating." Though McClain indicates that he'd like to return to the Ravens, he does admit that "I've got to look out for what's best for Le'Ron McClain." McClain may be able to handle the ball a bit more in another situation, possibly for a team looking for a complementary back to an incumbent speedster. Should McClain hit the bricks this offseason, the Ravens have some replacement options available to them. bring this dude. i have a man crush on him.

authentic Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 McClain is good, but i would prefer Daryl Young. He's shown flashes (in blocking and rushing), and he's cheap. Make him our FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyUtah Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 If we snagged McClain and paired him with Torain we would have a nasty bruising backfield. Keep Young/Sellers as FB and bring in some speedy change-of-pace young back and we would be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Fried Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I do like that he talks about himself in the third person. He'd be nice to have but not sure if he'd fit in our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukes and Skins Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I do like that he talks about himself in the third person. He'd be nice to have but not sure if he'd fit in our offense. Agreed we need a guy who is a shifty back to pair with Torain not the person who is the exact same as him although Torain has more wiggle and speed than McClain IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 we need a speed back to complement torain. I wish we can find a young brian westbrook type for this offense or a Larry centers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
