Baltimore Ravens

By Mike Zoran I do not view Willis McGahee (22 carries for 64 yards) as a north and south runner. That isn’t what he does best. Jamal Lewis was that type of runner. McClain (11 carries for 51 yards) is more that type of runner. Mike Brown said it, why run Willis between the tackles so often when it obviously isn’t...

By Mike Zoran Willis McGahee has a rib injury, but the good news is that appears to be the only injury for the Ravens last night. The same can not be said for the Steelers who lost their backup running back for the season as well as another piece of the offensive line.

By Mike Brown Hats off to Derrick Mason. I don’t know how much longer he plans to play the game, after all he’s been at it for 12 years, but he looked like a 20 year old kid last night. I think he could easily go another 3-4 years without falling off in production. Job well done Mr. Mason.

By Mike Zoran Some have the Ravens trading up to get Matt Ryan, assuming he won’t be available at #8. I have made my opinion of this well known if anyone reads this page often.
