I bet Ray Lewis was the first person that called him after he signed his contract. I hope so at least.

[RavensNo1Fan1]

Very happy about this signing. He will have a great year and we will probably sign him to a longer contract next year.

[orangle123]

I love this guy, he has such a fire lit under him when he plays. My only concern is he tackles a bit high, but he looks like the kind of guy we can mold into a freak linebacker. I can't wait to see us open up the season and the all star team that takes the field.

[Michael T.]

how come so many missed tackles?

[PersianRaven]

This is one of many reasons I am excited about this signing!

Good job great under the radar signing

[designermaryland]

any one know what jersey # he will wear? 59?

if everyone got healthy, they could go McClellan, McClain, McClain, McAdoo at LB for a blitz package.

Because the Raiders were/are aweful and it is hard to defend almost alone. So it's clear that you have some missed tackles if everyone around you dont get his job done!

[blitzking33]

I hope he can somehow get #56 from Bynes... He would look beast in it.. If not, #51.

[iluvpurple]

Can't wait for the season to start!

[Ravenskid52752]

This might get Cody to play better and motivate him to dominate for his old buddy Rolando.

I guess that would be the McBlitz ?


With 1 free McBlitz burger on Monday for each sack ?

Um, no. That would be his baby mama and her lawyer.

[ravensykoh]

I can not wait to see Rolando in black and purple!!! Defense is looking nasty and scarier not to mention we still have the draft.

[Hardhitters]

McClain, Cody and Upshaw all should be motivation for each other to dominate Bama style, make Ozzie look good fellas.

People saying Cody may get cut next season, I doubt it unless he really under perform this year. He more than likely would just get a regular contract that doesn't hurt the team's pocket. But progression must be seen in some form. Getting stronger should be his focus.

@ravensykoh

If he was a Raven during that hit he would have been flagged, wrap up and smash like Ray Lewis.

[xXKingBmoreXx]

Ok, now that he's signed sealed & delivered it's now time to move forward & put to rest his bad Oakland experience.

You're now rolling with the "best" Mr. McClain it's now time you get acclimated on doing things the Ravens way.

Let's Go Ravens !!

[/quote] McBlitz is good. How about the Big Mac Attack?

[PackinRavensHeat]

Nice pick up if the staff can professionalize him, this is a gamble picking up a little loose canon, it dont matter what number he gets, he will be on Harbs Daycare Watchlist.

[CQ1]

We will see if he has 'always been a hard worker'- Obviously, to date, he hasn't been.
Welcome to Bmore Rolando. Good luck !

Niceeee, Hope Dean Pees taking notes. " The McBlitz Package " Haha !!

Opposing offenses be afraid, Be very afraid . . .

Go Ravens ! ! !

[RF4L52]

So he had over 100 tackles a season in his first two years in the league playing on the Raiders. That sounds pretty good to me.

[Araminta Ross]

He has a chance to improve & mature. The Ravens will make him or break him. And, we got him for nothing.

[IdahoRaven]

How about the McClain Twain!?

[_Love_Everyone_]

What number is that beast big "Ro" my bredrens?

[mettro79]

This kid's potential is scary. And at 23 with a couple years in the league under his belt, just wow!!!

[RavensInNC]

Those Oakland uniforms are SO ugly.

[CapoRocky]

Great signing, Ozzie!

having a hard time seeing any circumstances (beside death) under which you'd ever replace Terrell Suggs or Elvis Dumervil with Michael McAdoo and Albert McClellan if your plan was to go after the QB.
