Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Ravens Sign Lorenzo Neal!

From the Baltimore Sun

I was secretly hoping this would happen.  It's a great move by the Ravens and their offense.  Neal can still play and it was a wonder he didn't sign sooner.  He's still one of the best FB in the league.  For those naysayers who say that FB isn't an important position, let me remind you that a FB who sees play on the field is vastly more important than a WR who doesn't.  This is also a great relief for pass protection, as Lorenzo Neal will definitely be an asset on pass plays, which will help our struggling line.  It's kind of cool that they are thinking of using LeRon McClain as a running back, he can put a hurt on opposing linebackers.

As soon as Neal was cut, I was hoping he would sign with us because of Cam Cameron.  The Ravens just got a little bit better today.

this was a nyce move by the ravens. Lorenzo will come in and help open up holes for both willis and ray. He will also teach McClain how to play the postion better and help his development.

This is great!

Neal is a huge guy and a great pickup. I was never impressed with McClain and was surprised he beat out Justing Green, leading to Green’s release the other day. Surprised as to why SD released him though. Wonder why…?

great pick up

hey rexx on the contrary word from camp is that McClain is really really impressive. They said he was fast, could catch the ball, and could also run the ball. He laid some big hits on running backs in camp. and dont forget McClain was the one who blocked for Willis last year, and he went over 1000 yards. And they got Lorenzo Neal because willis wasn’t certain about starting the season. and McClain could get more time at RB. can you imagine. Neal Blocking for McClain? can you say smashmouth?
