It rather irks me that McClain talked so much about wanting to be a running back, wanting touches, not just blocking. So he heads to Kansas City, and what's the first thing he says?

"If I’ve got to block, I’ll do that. If I’ve got to run, I’ll do that. I’ll do anything I can to get a W on the board for the Chiefs. It’s not about me. I’m a fullback, and I’m here to win. Two things. Just two things: Getting Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones 1,000 (yards) apiece, that’s what I’m here to do. Blocking linebackers, picking up linebackers, keeping them off Cassel. Anything I can do to help the team win."

Where were those comments for Flacco and Rice, Le'Ron? As a Raven, you preached "more runs, more touches", but as soon as you fly the coop, you talk about blocking and getting Charles and Jones yards? Get real.

I think that's what took him so long to sign. I think he found out that there wasn't much of a market for him. So he had to settle for the place that would give him the most money to 'block'.

it would have be nice to have Rice, Leach and McClain as our "new" three-headed monster in the Ravens backfield. however, Le'Ron wants to be a "featured" back not a back up. so, i knew he was sign elsewhere. good luck to you McClain!
