[News] The Caw: Former Raven Jameel McClain Opens Gym In Catonsville

6 posts in this topic

I always liked McClain. The knock on him was that he was "weak in coverage", yet they always yanked him in favor of another player during coverage situations, so they never really gave him the time to grow in that area. But he was a hard-nosed, humble guy, who always played hard, and as a sure-tackler. Very good against the run. I wish he had stayed a Raven longer, to be honest. And I never really understood why he only lasted one season in NY, and wasn't picked up by any other team, when to my mind, he was one of the best free agent linebackers at the time. I guess perhaps he chose to retire, because otherwise it just doesn't make sense.

It's awesome that he has a ring with us. But it's unfortunate, same with Webb, that they were on IR during the actual playoff run, and didn't get to play in the actual SB game. He was still a great Raven though. Not outstanding like a Bart Scott, but very dependable.
