From what I’ve heard, McClain has great hands and good movement, making him an asset on pass plays, but he’s not a true Sam Gash style blocking fullback. This is weird to me however, as I thought he was considered to be a tough blocker when he was drafted. In any case, Lorenzo Neal is a vicious blocker, and they should complement each other nicely. Justin Green wasn’t even given a RFA tender last March, he was just allowed to sign for the NFL minimum. He’s OK, and probably qualified to be in the NFL, but he’s just not that good at anything, especially blocking. No surprise to me that they would cut him if they could pick up someone like Lorenzo.

I really like McClain. I think he will get better in his career because he has a gut like neal to teach and guide him gor a whlie. When Neal leaves, McClain will step in and may be a bigger, faster, strong, and hopfully better neal!

I’m not a fan of McClain since his rookie season. He never did anything all season, although he did fumble a couple of times and miss pass blocking assignments regularly. However, the thing that turned me off the most was in a game where we were losing (I just can’t remember against whom) by two TD’’s and McClain scored a TD (most likely his first ever) and celebrated like he was Ray Lewis or Chad Johnson, which to me was really bush-league. Your team is down by two touchdowns and you’re celebrating like only you matter, not your team. Just tuck the ball in and take it to the bench to put it away for your shelf when you get home. Nothing more, rookie!

…open minded for his opportunity to improve and show a little humility. And no, that’s not all he did, he danced a jig. As LT once said, you should act like you’ve been there before. He hadn’t and for that I’ll give him a pass because you said so!
