Willis on the chopping block soon?

by Steve

With the recent news that Willis McGahee could possibly be on the chopping block or at the best splitting time with Ray Rice, I remembered people actually loved this dude. Hahahaha c'mon coast.. you defended this dude til the day we traded him and then still defended him until we drafted Lynch. That hurts your credibility BIG TIME.

As per Rotoworld.com:

Willis McGahee-RB- Ravens Aug. 20 - 10:22 pm et


Beat reporter Mike Preston writes that it wouldn't surprise him if the Ravens cut Willis McGahee before the season is through.

It would be stunning, but Preston has the inside track in Baltimore. He says McGahee has "angered" Ravens officials with his consistently poor work ethic and "doesn't know his plays" in the new offense. We doubt McGahee will be cut before next offseason, but a diminished role is quite possible.


From Coast's slobber fest right before he was peaced for Baltimore, "Last season, McGahee couldn't reach the 1,000 yard mark, with 990 yards and 6 touchdowns. People look at these numbers and think, wow this guy isn't producing. Well, he was in a new system with another really bad offensive line. 3 of the 5 starting linemen at the beginning of the season are no longer on the Bills roster. Villiarial and Reyes were released and Gandy will not be resigned. Also, for the 2nd half of the season, McGahee was playing behind a line that consisted of a 7th round draft pick rookie Terrance Pennington and a 2nd year man, Duke Preston. They were O.K. but the run blocking was terrible. Further, McGahee missed 3 games verse the Packers, Colts and Texans. These 3 defenses were bad to say the least during the regular season so it is a distinct possibility that Willis could have ran for 310 more yards and got to 1,300. People would have a much different opinion of him if he had these numbers."

He goes from being one of the best running backs in the world to being cut soon and on his third team in 5 years as a pro, yikes. Everyone and their mother was still slobbering this POS' nutsack when we cut him loose for a 3rd and a 5th. People could not believe we traded him, well except for knowledgable people... like my self. Call me a genius if you want, well, because I am too.
