McGahee looking like the better back

I've been a big supporter of the work that Le'Ron McClain has done this year, as he's added a physical presence to the Ravens' running game.
But today, Willis McGahee looks like the back that can do more against this Tennessee defense.

McClain has picked up just 13 yards on 9 carries, and it's unclear if an ankle injury that he suffered in the first half is limiting what he can do. He's getting stuffed up the middle, and often times isn't even able to get back to the line of scrimmage before being met by Titans' defenders.

McGahee's shiftiness seems to be adding a new dimension to the Ravens' offense, which has been mediocre at best today. McGahee's stats don't look much better than McClain's (7 carries for 16 yards), but he's making cuts and shaking some tackles.

I say give the 2007 Pro Bowler a chance to make some plays.

Ray Rice did make an appearance on a Baltimore drive early in the third quarter, but he still hasn't seen any touches this postseason.
