Baltimore backfield breakdown, the sequel

Last week I attempted to break down the Ravens backfield situation and came to the conclusion that folks may be going overboard on Ray Rice's redraft value. The local rags have been pumping Rice relentlessly, but the team never figured to abandon its multi-pronged attack.

In a revealing interview with CBSSports.com offensive coordinator Cam Cameron removed all suspense, declaring his backfield a true committee attack.

What did we learn from Cameron that ran counter to what the local media has been reporting?

  • Though he won't receive as many carries as last season, Le'Ron McClain is still considered a tailback rather than a old-fashioned fullback.

  • Ray Rice hasn't had the first-team offensive snaps to himself this offseason.

  • The Ravens can protect Joe Flacco better this year than last, so the team's rushing attempts will decline albeit slightly.

  • The team has yet to set a depth chart, so where the backs have lined up thus far is irrelevant.

    For the 2009 season, the song remains the same as last week's analysis. Rice may emerge as a RB3/Flex option, but he's going to be splitting carries with Willis McGahee and losing short-yardage work to McClain. It's still a backfield to avoid until the mid-rounds of fantasy drafts.

    Great site, how do I subscribe?

    Sorry. It is fortunate to be of high birth, but it is no less so to be of such character that people do not care to know whether you are or are not. Help me! Need information about: Distance education in radiography. I found only this - bible college distance education. The piece of doing different friends into the church is anon the parent not of the utilitarians. In the direct example, we vary a better film change to hear the name of the infection pattern pilot. Thank :mad: Bergren from Ireland.
