How do you think willis mcgahee will do now that ravens signed lorenzo neal?

Question

how many yards/tds do u think mcgahee will get now that lorenzo neal is his lead block? and how do u think LT would do without neal.

Answer 1

I say he'll get just a tad better (say 1 or 2 more TDs and about few more yards.) nothing too special it just that I don't believe that neal is an elite FB anymore but don't get me wrong he still has some fuel in the tank

Answer 2

McGahee just had another surgery on the same knee that was wiped out a couple of years ago.  Remans to be seen.  Having Lorenzo Neal on it's does nothing

Answer 3

I think the Ravens' running game will do very well, but McGahee is out of shape and he has a horrible attitude.  Also, he's getting a little on the old side, and he's had a lot of major surgery.  I think Ray Rice will be the star of the Ravens' running game this year.  Ray Rice and Lorenzo Neal should make a great pair.  I think McGahee will get injured, finishing his season with about 500 rushing yards, and Ray Rice will pick up another 1000 in his absence.

LT will be fine without Neal.  The Chargers didn't use Neal nearly as much last year as they had done in previous years anyway, because they wanted to run more two TE sets.  You won't see a dropoff from LT's performance last year.

One word of caution about the Ravens though: even though they gained Neal, they lost Ogden, so they really lost more than they gained in terms of blocking ability.

Answer 4

He will start out kind of slow since he just had his knee scoped, but by the end of the season he should have around 1,200 yards just like last year. Hopefully with Neal blocking he gets more than 7 TDs this year.

I have him on a couple fantasy teams, so I hope he gets more TDs.

I'm not worried about him getting yards, he will get plenty of those.

Answer 5

Lorenzo Neal is a beast.  You or I could run for 500-600 yards behind Neal, so I'll say that McGahee (even with his surgically repaired knee) will run for 1150 yards and 15 TDs.

LT will be just fine.  They've got a new offensive system that doesn't really utilize a fullback.  It's more of a zone blocking / misdirection scheme.  1300 + yards and 20 + TDs as long as he's healthy.

Answer 6

mcgahee is going to be noticable better and tomlinson seems to be slowing down and without neal probally he'll be noticble not as great

Answer 7

hes always gana be in the pro bowl. hes just a hall of fame caliber player but i think having a player that has blocked for LT is only gana benifit him i say maybe 1500 yards

Answer 8

If Lorenzo was still that good, I think he would've found a team right after he was released by the Chargers.  

Answer 9

He should help, but not a whole lot. Neal,  while still productive,  is on the downside of his career. Willis will have between 1,000 and 1,200 yards.

Answer 10

1350yrds and 9tds... as someone else said he will start slow then become consistent and have an explosive end of the year... having Lornezo Neal will help WM but not to and LT level... neal will have around 200yrs with 3tds... as for LT he will have 1450yrds but not as many tds becuase his goal line blocker isn't there anymore
