I do think Willis is important to us still...

While I love the versatility he brings to us, and the dangerous in both forms of the game....he is going to end up taking a LOT of reps. I think he'll tire as the season goes on. We need to get McGahee playing as well as he did the first 4 weeks, because spelling Rice occassionally will keep him fresh for the end of the season.

Rice is a baller! So exciting to watch.

And he seems to get better every week.

Manita said WillieMac was better than Ray Rice.....because he has more TD's.

**RavenScallywag** · 10-18-2009, 10:42 PM

She says lots of things...I tend to just drown most of them out by playing my own dialog...

"The Ravens need a #1 receiver...I will personally pleasure any receiver who will come here for us...Willis McGahee is SOOO good...This team is never going to be any good until they make me a GM...blah blah blah"

Most of the time, it makes me less frustrated because it's the same old thing and not new spins on the same old thing.

Willis had 3 less rushes yesterday than Ray. Ray is clearly the better back, I do agree you still need to rush Willis but there is no doubt now who the number 1 is!

Willis is an excellent back but Rice was the man yesterday. Willis made some uncharacteristically bad decisions on his running lanes yesterday, I thought. One time he tried to break it outside when Allen had the outside contained-mistake.

He was also tip toeing around the line of scrimmage trying to find a hole instead of hitting it hard.

Right now Ray Rice is the better player and I like Willis a lot.

Ray Rice was an absolute workhorse at Rutgers; carrying a much larger load than he will have to with the Ravens. One can say, "but that was college, and this is the NFL." Well, he was a college player then, and now he's an NFL player-- stronger, better conditioned, smarter. I about jumped through the ceiling when we drafted him, and happily, Ray Rice is who we thought he was.

But, it is true that we will need Willis and Leron this year. And I believe they'll come through.

What a find late in the 2nd round! Can you tell me the RB's drafted in front of him? I know Darren McFadden, Jonathon Stewart, and Chris Johnson.

And yes, I am being very very lazy...

and Mendenhall. All those guys are good. But, skills aside, Ray has proven so far to be the best team guy.
