Once you are able to get over that mind-number, please join our discussion on McClain below.
Short of a major injury to at least one of their RBs, the Ravens backfield situation is a fantasy football steamer. We suppose they could run it another 592 times, but that wouldn't sustain three hungry and able RBs. Willis McGahee is still young and is the most explosive RB on the roster; but also has the worst attitude. Ray Rice was drafted in the 2nd round in '08 and will be utilized more this year. And then you have this beast...Le'Ron McClain. He is a big ol' bruiser FB who can do it all; solid hands, great lead blocker (think Tony Richardson but bigger), and a very effective short yardage/goal-line back. So you have three guys - all very capable of toting the pill. If you draft one, you have to draft them all...and then pray for an injury.
McClain sort of stumbled into lead RB duties after McGahee and his sense of entitlement failed to impress the new coaching staff last summer. McGahee worked his way back into the mix after the first few games, but it was all McClain needed to showcase his abilities and earn a spot in the rotation. He is one of those rare birds that get stronger as the game (and season) goes on. Check it...
McClain's 260 pound frame no doubt wears down defenses as the game progresses as can be seen by the above two charts. He doesn't have a very complicated style - basically he makes one quick decision and that's it - arm tacklers and tired lineman beware. He had a fairly even split with McGahee on average thru the 1st-3rd quarters, but registered 80 carries (for 388 yards!) to McGahee's 34 carries in the 4th quarter throughout the year.
