[News] Linebacker Rolando McClain Passes Physical, Signs Contract

[axisofeeble]

McPhee,McClellan,McClain,McClain,McAdoo with McKinnie,McClain on offense might eliminate the use of Mac in training camp. Welcome Rolando,it won't be easy but you have the opportunity to play here for 10 years,it's up to you and your talent and motivation.The McAttack era might be upon us. We don't need a Te'o.

Hey, don't forget McBynes !

[Stephenjr]

Cody and Mcclain,just what I thought they will be buddy buddy and they are both under achievieng players from Alabama!! Mcclain needs to get with Suggs and Dumervil not MT.Softy!! Neither of these two will get any better hanging around each other!! Now MT.Softy will have problems with the Law and on the field.

I have this bad feeling that Mcclain is going to ruin our famliy like locker room and ruin the chemistry that the team has had since Harbs took over as HC!!

I Love Lardarius Webb.... I think lots of folks aren't even thinking about him. You don't see much mention of him at all.

You can't help but love the way he fought back from the previous injury to become one of our best secondary players. Let him heal slowly and he will return to form.

Now if we can just get Arthur Brown in the first and Matt Elam or Jesse Williams in the second we will be in great shape.

Elam will most probably be gone by the time we draft in the first round. Williams will be gone at the top of the second. Both of these players will be drafted before Brown.

I dont know my guess is he hasn't received one yet but we all know it isn't going to be 55

[Magnusmd]

I predict good things from our defense this year!!

[raveninct]

perhaps he'll do what doom did and take his college number, whatever that was. it may have been 55 as well, i guess. don't know. too lazy to find out.

[jravens13]

it wouldn't surprise me if this turns out to be the best offseason move we make this year.

[Valid1]

Arthur Brown is awesome and if you think he'll be there at the end of the 2nd then... well you're wrong about that.

[TorryGundy]

This might be good. I can see him and McClellan in the middle. Both have speed and can play the run. Jameel will be there to tudor and Bynes would come in on Nickle packages. Hopefully McClain will learn from Upshaw ans train hard. I think Cody learned his lesson and from what I hear, he has been a fixture in the training room. I am so excited about the D. I still think we need some more depth at saftey and CB and over all a LT, WR and C. But with 12 picks and a good draft for depth, we should be great. I dont want to say Repeat becuase I am still enjoying this win. But as soon as Pre season starts its on.

He was 25 in college, but linebackers can't wear 25 in the NFL.

[ellicottraven]

Should you pass?

Sizzle and Doom lay down the boom!

Should you run?

The twins McClain bring on the pain!

[Boondock1957]

I for one, believe in second chances so I will be pulling hard for McLain to succeed in football and life. They don't call Oakland the Black Hole for nothing.

I agree, if you read up on this guy he hasn't exactly had it easy... from what I read his mother was nuts and he has been basically on his own since he was 15. It's easy to judge him from my middle class background and criticize his personal life, but in reality I haven't been through half of what this guy has. Then to make matters worse Al Davis saw his potential...

[awais.ashai]

Might not be able to expect McClain to replace Ray Lewis, but we can certainly expect him to replace Ayanbadejo. A decent backup ILB and solid special teams player is a realistic goal. He may very well exceed that and become a starter but if not he can still be a valuable player.

[flaccosberger]

Ugh, I trying to forget Mount bust, ah sorry Cody. Hope McClain reps bama more like JJ and less like Cody

[Mystigo_Dragon]

Yesterday, during the Masters telecast, a buddy mentioned that McClain passed his physical but "the jury's out" on his psychological,..... beer spit across the bar!

I'd really like to see the guy find a home in the Middle, here!

[jmags]

We are gonna roll next season! This dude played for the Raiders so in reality he has not played for an organization that takes this game serious. Ravens picked up a 23 year old linebacker who's potential is sky high! Harbaugh is going to bring the best put of him.
