Our Rushing Attack

[Sub-Zero]

Ray Rice definitely needs more PT, let him and McGahee take the majority of the running plays for the first 3 quarters and then close it out with the McClain train?

imagine 5 guys in the backfield Flacco, Smith, McClain, McGahee, Rice, who ya going to snap it too?? jk, but these guys can take lots of pressure off of the recievers and TE's.

Though if you have 5 guys in the backfield you could only have 1 WR/TE with the O-line to make 11 players, too much of a good thing will just get confusing. I'd say either have two RBs and a QB or two QBs and a RB otherwise things could get messed up too easily.

This rushing attack will really start to become asset when the calender pages turn to November and December(hopefully January). McGahee is consistent, McClain is just a Bull, and Rice is starting to prove himself to be a weapon. With the quick tempo of the offense and the pyshical style of running the ball, this Ravens team could be very difficult to compete against if the passing game can continue to progress.

I think he was kidding, but I'm seriously in love with Cam Cameron after watching him dig deeeeep into his bag of tricks! that was amazing!!!!!

I am glad we have Rice and McClain because McGahee has struggled this season. He had like 20 carries for only 50 some yards. Thats not going to cut it. I wish we'd use McClain more. His lack of touches is killing me on one of my fantasy teams.

[RavensNYfan]

id like to see Rice and Mclain each get more touches, Mcgahee is consistent, Rice can break some pretty explosive runs, and Mclain is a beast for short yardage/Goaline and just wears a defense down

Also seeing Haloti Ngata blocking down on the goal line was pretty awesome

[itscbm5042]

So in the Ngata formation is he lined up as a tight end? He makes an incredible lead blocker.

basically, hes like another lineman though, unless he has good hands lol

[RavensNYfan]

how would you like to be a linebacker with Haloti Ngata coming at you lookin for a pancake block

ouch

[Sub-Zero]

oh yeah forgot about Ngata. our offfense is slowly becoming as wacky as our defense, I love it!

Too bad rice's TD was called back, I guess he will get one soon enough

Rice is deserving of one he needs more touches
the score woulda been even more lopsided if it werent for some offensive penalties but hey a W is a W

[CTravenfan]

ray needs more touches. he is a playmaker plus it will keep willis fresh for the entire year. mcclain at the goal being lead by lo neal and haloti. thats explosive

definitely...Rice, imo, needs more touches...but for right now, id just say use rice spottingly for RB and use him for special screens...Ray Rice is just a BEAST when he's on the open field, (converting all those damn long 3rd downs, incredible) with that quickness and elusiveness, he's gonna be a good one for the future....but i think Harbs may even be saving him for future games, by resting him...McGahee is playing now, and when the fatigue kicks in later in the season, BOOM! ya got another lethal back in rice... or at least thats what i think harbs is thinking

[ravens27]

We have a great three headed monster McGahee, McClain, Rice how much better can this get.

[MorbidSorcerer]

We have some serious power backs on our squad, I'd like to see Rice get some more touches, he was a machine at Rutgers and get get the tough yards but he can also break one if gets some space.
