About the only team Rice and Leach will not be able to run against is that stout steeler defense…….

Like I said, the guy runs through a hole and hits someone and catches like 3 passes a year. I want to see what Casey can do anyway.

Every comment you make is unwanted pathetic drunk idiot trash. Look at your comment ratings on every single post. Get a clue and stfu. Nobody cares about your stupid rings. You even embarrass other Steeler fans. It’s even worse considering the most recent NFL game played was a loss by the Steelers. JUST. SHUT. UP.

Vonta is a beast and he fits in so well with the Ravens ground and pound philosophy.

Ravens are a very underrated football team.

The question is, Does Baltimore run the same blocking scheme and will Leach struggle there ?

Imagine him running behind Leach inside the 5 yard line or on third and short! Let the “McCLAIN 4 BACK-UP RB” campaign begin;-)

Not sure Leach and Rice offers the same one two punch, because Rice behind McLain really didn’t. But this represents a needed upgrade in the Ravens ground game in a division that already is known for tough grind it out football.

Only upside is a chance to see more of James Casey. If he can handle the blocking well, then it’s a step up because he is an excellent receiver and should be much better in the open field than Leach. (Yes, Leach got the rock thrown at him occasionally and he was a decent receiver out of the backfield.)

I still think the Texans did a great job this off season and a FB is easier to replace then the others mentioned above. But good luck to Leach, the Ravens match his kind of play and Ray Rice will love him.

John and Ozziw said they were going to run the ball this year, guess this a move in that direvtion. Now if we can just figure out the tackles…

Picking up a legit FB and releasing McGahee should be a good overall team move , of course provided Rice does not get hurt.
