cravnravn Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Ravens running back Ray Rice had a successful rookie season because he won both the physical and mental battles. The second year shouldn't be as much of a grind. Rice, though, still has a lot to prove, and he wants to become the all-around running back that coordinator Cam Cameron wants in his offense. "This offseason, I'm going to do more catching and blocking," Rice said. "I'm going to prepare harder because I now know what it takes to play in this league. I'm going to prepare to get the ball in my hands somehow, some way - every way possible." By the middle of the season, Rice, drafted in the second round out of Rutgers, had become a role player for the Ravens as a third-down weapon out of the backfield. He finished the season with 454 yards on 107 carries and had 273 yards on 33 receptions. more
papasmurfbell Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I love it. I think he will be so useful in the future.
vmax Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 It's definetely a more explosive offense when Ray is on the field...4.2 avg rushing, 8.3 receiving. Now...he has yet to find the endzone while McClain and Willis get there.
