Mcgahee Who!

[robbcs3]

I love Willis and all, But Ray Rice had an awesome game! The 3 headed monster is alive and well. He's small but he gets it done!

[Bigbell]

agreed. I had rice of my fantasy team but he was on the bench

someone dropped willis, but i am not sure if i should pick him up!

[K-Dog]

154 yards if I am not mistaken.

Well done Ray and great play calling Cam.

[wolfzie06]

I wouldn't jump ship on McGahee just yet. Rice has looked very good, but don't forget that McGahee is a veteran, he does run hard when healthy, and he could be a big asset when we play tougher NFC East teams down the road. Ray Rice impressed me though, i know he looked good against the Dolphins and the Raiders, but I thought he showed how good he can be today against a tough opponent on the road. Props to Rice!

I won't pickup Willis. I think he is injury prone. I would proceed with Rice IMO

[JUICE tm]

ray rice is the leading rusher so far this week. way to go rook

[Bigbell]

yeah i was leaning to rays side.
hopefully he can keep up his play

yeah, and D Mason is tied for lead receiver as well,
but they put Greg J. from the packers on nfl.com

I said I LOVE McGaHee, but with him out, Ray stepped up, I couldnt ask for more

[Ravensfan23]

Having a healthy Willis is great, having healthy Rice is great but having a healthy McGahee and Rice is dynamic. I think this Ravens rushing attack will prove to be too much for lesser teams to handle down the strecht and just good enough to keep good defenses honest. Today was the second time this season that Flacco and Rice couldn't hookup on a 3rd play with Rice matched up on a LB, that probably would have produce a TD

I think one of the reasons rice does so well IS because he's so small. you cant see him thru these big offensive linemen!..I cant believe this guy was 55th overall pick!!!

[Ravnet]

They do so well because they complement each other perfectly. It's hard for a defense to adjust when you have one guy who slashes (McGahee), another who has burst through the hole (Rice), and a complete bruiser (Le'Ron). As you saw early on in this game, without McGahee, Rice/Le'Ron were struggling big time.

Flacco's been putting some good deep passes down the feild.. I agree the "3 headed monster" is a plus in our offense.. but give flacco some credit too.

Oh yeah, Flacco has definitely helped, but they were productive when he was struggling as well.

Yea, Im glad just the whole team is stepping up in general, the offense is gettin it done & keepin the d off the feild, the d is making big plays..(although! im gettin let down alot on the pass rush) ..I do think the special teams needs to step up a little bit, there was NO excuse for cribbs 92yd punt return.

I think one week we will be all excited about Rice, next week we will all be excited about McGahee, then the week after it's McClain. So on and so on. Let's not give up on any of our RBs, they are all great in their own ways, and will pay dividends one way or aonther. We just have a great running game like usually. This was Rice's week, great job!

[WACKO4FLACC0]

Ray Rice played great. If we start him during the Giants game (probably not) it will be a good test for him with such a physical defense. I was a little surprised by him today but I don't think I will be any more

after today. I love his quickness and the way he cuts back after seeing the hole close on him not get a couple yards instead of nothing. o

FIGHT FOR THOSE YARDS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK RICE!

I wouldnt pick up any of the Ravens running backs because with Harbaugh and Cameron, you never know who is actually going to play. I know alot of people that picked up McClain thinking he was going to be a staple in the offense and they've just stopped getting him the ball recently.

I think that he was sort of overshadowed by some of the other backs in the draft this year, (Mcfadden, Mendenhall, etc.) Either way I think we came away with a great steal on him. Who knows, maybe we will get lucky and get a good reciever or corner in the draft this year later than the first round.

Were becoming the denver broncos as far as fantasy goes, you start McGahee, he doesnt play. You start McClain, he may get 3-5 carries, same with Rice. Then all the sudden, one will have big game, then the other, you never know. It's great for real football, horrible for fantasy, but hey, who cares.

I'm glad that Rice could step up in McGahees absence and it looks good for us in the future I'd say. A steal at #55 in the draft

[wolfzie06]

I am really a big fan of our rushing game right now. McGahee, when healthy, is a punishing back with good speed. He can run up the middle or bounce off-tackle and pound the ball at the defense. Rice is a much more elusive runner who is better with counters, draws, and off-tackle runs. He can also do a little more in the open field when catching the ball. And McClain is a bruising, punishing back who is a great blocker and can run for the short yardage.

& thats just exciting in general! & shows we have SO MUCH to be excited about in baltimore.. besides just our D!!

[Ravensfan23]

The only question about Rice is when will he get his first NFL touchdown. The kid has been close all season

[CP`C-Pain`CP]

Its coming soon Ravensfan...I can feel it.
My Ray senses are tingling.

As Ravens fans I think we all have these for Ray Lewis and Ray Rice

[Ravensfan23]

well when that first TD does come, my Ray senses tell me that it will be on an explosive play. As Willis and McClain usually get the Redzone carries, so Ray will have to score from 20+

[bossman419]

I didnt think the ravens needed to draft a RB... turns out to be a great move

[Marc2k6]

The more backs we have the better!

[mpplaya07]

ray rice is a elusive back with great skills... when i see him run, i think of like barry sanders, brian westbrook type of guy.. im not saying hes anything like them but the way he cuts and moves is just like him.. i think we have a back for the future down the road as well...im still hoping mcgahee can get it done, but he better be looking over his back soon enough if he doesnt step his game up

[ravens27]

Like I have said all along, Ray has the potential to be one of the best running backs in the NFL. Possibly better then McGahee.

GO #27
