Ravens Think RB Ray Rice Can Be An Every-Down Back

As a rookie, he placed third on the team with 107 carries for 454 yards, and he is obviously aiming to increase those numbers. Rice added a noticeable amount of bulk to his upper body to be more of an every-down runner. Head coach John Harbaugh believes Rice can fill that role. Not that he wasnt a tackle-breaker last year - he was a tackle-to-tackle runner at Rutgers, that was what he did - but hes come a long way, Harbaugh said. Now, people see him as a third-down back because of the success he had last year, but I dont think we have any question that he can be an every-down back.

Good for Ray - I'm interested to see what this guy can do now that hes got a year under his belt.

 

If Coach says so, then so be it. I am intrigued. Lets see what he can do.

 

Mix in Cedric Peerman instead of McGahee and you got somthing

 

Probably the starting tailback next season, maybe as early as this season with the things im hearing on mcgahee lately

 

McGahee is young, but he has had a lot of carries in his career. Rice should be the Ravens starter soon

 

And McClain... Ravens running game will be huge again.
