Mcclain Train

[catty112]

Im glad to see McClain pound the rock like he did last year. It seemed to me whenever he got the ball he hit the hole hard for good chunks of yards. He showed great footwork when he got the FB screen. And as always, he was great at blocking

It was painful to see him have to come off with the injury, I read the postgame report and they said it was a abdominal strain which doesn't seem to serious but we defiantly need him these last couple of weeks.

offtopic question: Was our backup Fb not on the active roster? because after Mcclain went out we went with single back formations only.

ali was on the inactive list

Yeah, it was awesome to see, but its kind of risky when he's the only real FB that knows the gameplan.

I'm pretty sure if we had went back to a 2 back I-formation, Heap or LJ Smith would have been lead blocker.

I was glad to see him pound the rock today. Too bad he got injured.

Really? Because I'm pretty sure NEITHER of them would have been the lead blocker. Maybe Edgar Jones...(is he even active!?) but I can't see our coaches putting in either of our older injury prone TEs to block for McClain.

Pretty dirty play in my estimation when Mcclain was injured..he was basically already down and the steelers Db I believe dives right into his lower back

it was nice to see him get some carries...I mean we only went to an AFC championship game with him getting a majority of carries...

Must have missed that. It would have been a penalty, again, if it was us.
