Yardbarker: Willis McGahee

Ravens' Thursday Injury Report

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:54:34 -0500

Once again, there are no players listed on the Baltimore Ravens Injury Report as "out" after today's practice. However, long snapper Matt Katula (elbow) and DT Haloti Ngata (ankle) still are on the "Did Not Participate" list, which is not good. You almost never hear about the long snapper unless it is not good. It is also my recollection that our backup long snapper is none other than,....wait.....Willis McGahee! Is that silence and staring you are doing right now?...

Notebook leftovers

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:30:10 -0500

Here are a few additional items that didn't make the notebook in Tuesday's edition of The Sun due to space constraints: *After averaging 12.7 touches and 77 combined yards and rushing for five touchdowns in the first three games, running back Willis McGahee is averaging 4.3 touches and 4.3 yards in the last four, and he has only scored once -- via a pass from quarterback Joe Flacco. But Harbaugh insisted that McGahee is still a vital part of the offense. "I’m sure Willis – lik...

Fantasy Fallout, Week 8: RBs

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:30:05 -0500

- Remember when Willis McGahee (3 touches, 3 yards) was eating into Ray Rice’s (28 touches, 108 yards, TD) workload? That’s not happening anymore. - Knowshon Moreno (12 touches, 35 yards, TD) scored, but Correll Buckhalter (14 touches, 46 yards) got more work in the passing game (6-30). - LeSean McCoy (13 touches, 92 yards) was quiet [...]

BENCH Willis McGahee RB Ravens – After more or less falling off the fantasy radar, McGahee got off [...]

McGahee Confused by Role in Ravens Offense

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 17:57:27 -0500

RB Willis McGahee seemed a bit peeved about not doing much of anything yesterday vs the Bengals, and is starting to wonder about his role on the team in terms of offense: Willis McGahee hardly broke a sweat primarily because he wasn’t asked to do so. The running back who leads the NFL in touchdowns with [...]

Ravens-Browns: Predictions

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 09:51:45 -0500

Three Predictions: 1. Two Ravens runners will top 100 yards. That’s pretty bold, right? I’m leaning towards Willis McGahee and Ray Rice, obviously. Not sure that there are even enough carries in one game to get them both other 100 yards, but it only really takes one big run (and the Browns specialize in making this [...]

Rice vs. McGahee

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:29:16 -0500

Today on Twitter, a fellow Ravens fan asked whether I think Ray Rice or Willis McGahee will get more carries this season. This will be a short post on this topic, more on it later. I responded to him saying that “McGahee will get more carries, but Rice will get more opportunities to shine” or [...]

Who's faster: McGahee or Figurs

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 13:29:31 -0500

While a group of reporters surrounded wide receiver/return specialist Yamon Figurs yesterday to talk to him after being activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list, running back Willis McGahee walked by and asserted his claim to Figurs' title as the fastest player on the team. "Right now, I am faster than him," McGahee blurted out as he walked past the small crowd to the gymnasium. "Hey, don’t believe that," insisted Figurs, who underwent surgery on his r...

Does The NFL Have A Religious Double Standard?

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 18:41:15 -0500

There?s no arguing that religion plays a significant role in the NFL. (Of course, some people might argue that the NFL is a religion itself, but that?s another topic.) Players hit their knees to pray whenever a serious injury occurs (like with Willis McGahee this past weekend), at the end of ...

Willis McGahee: Unprofessional and unprepared

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:21:18 -0500

Today it was announced that Willis McGahee would have arthroscopic knee surgery on his left knee. The knee has bothered him since the start of training camp, to which he reported overweight and out of shape. McGahee: "It could get better. That's what training camp is for. I know I'm rusty. I know I'm not going to come to training camp and be on point. That's hard, and I've got to work to that level." Granted, McGahee was only four pounds overweight, but the...
