Why is he not playing? Pass blocking for a rookie QB?

I was wondering this as well... McGahee has been dinged up tonight, McClain is more FB than RB and needs to skip a few meals, and Rice sits on the bench. Is it all pass blocking? Rice loooked solid in preseason, but struggled early in the regular season. Seems like he should be getting a few carries here though.

Why mess with success? McClain is doing well running the ball and they need points.

 

[HoTnickZ]

McClain's a force behind that line

McClain is like a slower Brandon Jacobs

Did you see McClain wipe out that defender to get his TD? Rice isn't able to do that, is too busy trying to get outside to get the between the tackle yards and yeah, probably doesn't pass block well. I dunno about the last one as he has barely been on the field since week 1 where he didn't look good at all.

Just dropped Deuce for McClain, because with Willis looking like he is a creampuff and Rice not stepping up I think McClain is looking like a solid flyer, plus I like him as the GL back anyways!!!

Sorry for the Hijack , but somewhat on topic!

Depressing. I apparently was completely wrong about Rice, I thought this kid was special. Now I am trying to figure out what the heck to do with him on my dynasty squad.

Sit tight.

That play was amazing ... it also was the catalyst for me releasing Rice to the waiver wire

Rice owners need to sit tight. With McClain's build, he can only take so many games of this many carries. He will either wear down or get dinged in my opinion.

I agree that he crashes in with reckless abandon but don't you think his body type (compared to someone with average build) would support this kind of wear and tear?

Nope. A slower Natrone Means.

OUCH! That's a slap! As for Rice... yeah, I am holding him until I see more. McLain looked good in what I saw last night against a tough Pitt Def. Slugfest of a game in the trenches. Brutal.He earned his yards. Rice might become more of a change of pace RB in Balt. Who knows.... he still has potential.

I was thinking more in line with how big he is, and that he is used to being a FB with minimal ball carrying that he may wear down more in the lead role. Just a thought though...................

He's already found his way to the sideline for extended periods of time in at least 2 of the 3 Ravens games.He's come back strong both times though which bodes well for his toughness.
