How our opinions on Ellerbe have changed. Another UDFA . . .

Hopefully this is just part of Harbaugh's classic exaggeration and nothing to be taken seriously.

Lol, true. Everyone was singing McClain praises last year.

I think Chuck Pagano knew how to use McClain better than Pees does.

I never thought McLame was any good, he didn't make many plays last year and he seems to never be around the ball this year as a starting ILB. This guy is never around the ball making plays. Once in a great while he"ll make a good tackle. He is a ILB, fumbles and the occasional INT or PD normal just find them, but not this guy.

Like Oher, McClain's career would appear to run in no small part on "character issues." He had a similarly harrowing childhood. They gave Jameel the radio helmet @ ILB (Ray's chair) when Ray went down last season, but McClain did out perform Ellerbe in 2011. I know nothing about the relative Wonderlich scores and film study habits between Ellerbe & McClain, In, fairness to Dannell, you had to actually be on the field to perform. The one clear difference between them is that Ellerbe has been doghoused (for things like on-field PFs or missing team meetings, IIRC). So under the Mighty Men doctrine, any tie goes to McClain.

Ask Bryant McKinnie how it works...

As for the injury list. good to see McPhee moving steadily to more playing time (at least he'll be fresh in pass rush or run support). There will be secrets kept this week for sure (Suggsy alone will lead to that). I think there is a good chance of hyperbole and/or misrepresentation on the injury reports this week.

I've never been that high no mclain either. Frankly, thought he was a better fit at OLB. Ellerbe has always played well when he's gotten playing time.

**Ravenswintitle** · 12-06-2012, 01:48 PM

seems to me that McClain was solid in tackles last year but has fallen off this year. I may go back and look at his numbers but from the eye test that's my initial take.

any word on whether Fletcher or Hall will play?

**NOLARavenFAN** · 12-06-2012, 01:59 PM

C'mon Ellerbee was always the man......they didn't like his work habits or something about the dreds. Offense has to step up Sunday or we are toast...
