Re: Ellerbe listed as starter next to McClain inside
I'm actually excited to see how this LB corps will do without Ray. They did pretty well last year without him.
Upshaw, McClellan, Ellerbe, McClain - a youthful LB corps.

That's the PR depth chart, not Harbaugh's....
That said, it was pretty obvious that Ellerbe would get first crack at being "The Other Starter" at ILB. Ray's spot is occupied by McClain, and Ellerbe plays McClain's spot..

Ray's position filled by a UDFA who played DE in college. Unsettling.
Oz is either a genius or something else entirely. Hoping we get a game-changer stud LB in the draft.

When Ray was out for the Thanksgiving game last year they had to start McClellan (his first start) in Ray's MLB position. Though the 9ers weren't exactly offensive juggernauts, they could run the ball effectively and Frank Gore is one of the better backs in the league. With a make-shift LB corps, the Ravens held Gore to 39 yards on 14 carries.
I think we see the Ravens D get better, especially at stopping the run starting this Sunday.

Re: Ellerbe listed as starter next to McClain inside
Mclain (5th year) and Ellerbe (4th year) have both been in this system playing right alongside Ray Lewis for years. You make it sound like Ozzie just grabbed these guys off the waiver wire. Nobody had ever heard of Bart Scott (undrafted) before 2005, when he filled in for the injured Ray Lewis. Scott even went to the probowl that year.
Continuity goes a long way, and we have that with both of those guys. Good job Ozzie. Next man up. They will bring athleticism to the field that 37 year old Ray didn't have anymore.
Now if Joe Flacco goes down and we have to roll out the Tyrod Taylor show, then i might get a little mad at Oz.

Why has nobody contacted EJ Henderson?
Hes a FA MLB who had 100+ tackles, 2 Sacks, 3 FF last year.
