Lorenzo Neal agreed to a deal with the Oakland Raiders last Friday. This will be Neal's 17th season playing ball. With the Ravens the Fullback played all 16 games making holes for our RBs to get yards & sometimes getting the ball to get 1st downs himself. He was only with the Ravens for a year but the veteran proved he still got value. Neal was previously with SD so hes going back to Cali & we'll see if he helps out Northern Cali as much as he did with us. With Neal leaving, Ravens are saying McClain will be reverting back to his original FB position (which he was drafted to the Pro Bowl for) . McClain ran the ball last year for the most part, along side of Rice & McGahee, but he said “With the success I had last year at halfback, I'm leaning more towards tailback, but you know me, I’m going to play my role and do whatever I can to help the team. I know they've got a plan for us and it involves the whole 11.” We'll see how this move effects out offense, since performance wise I think McClain was better than McGahee & Rice, but if McGahee can ever get to the 100% he was at 2 years ago he should be able to step it up again. I think this will definitely be affecting our run game next year, hopefully our airborne attack gets better with Flacco.

More Ravens Defense Casualties
Well, more bad news. He had been talking to the media for a while about this, but cornerback Samari Rolle will be put on the waiver list on Monday. Is there no loyatly to this city, the team. Are all you guys businessmen, that just want money & whichever team pays you'll go to! That's fine! We'll rebuild, we'll bring in the people who care about football & want to play. Who care more about the fans than money. So good, you want to go? Go back to Tennessee or wherever, Rolle, we'll be fine! There's still time to think/strategize about what players we need to recruit & before the draft. I trust Newsome's judgment, although we'll have to see how (Ryan's replacement) Mattison picks. Keep the Defensive tradition going in Baltimore!
