Rolando McClain getting noticed

[crazyfool]

1. Rolando McClain, Cowboys linebacker:Twiceretired by age 24, McClain has been the most remarkable story of September. The starting middle linebacker is not just the beating heart of the NFL'smost surprising defense; he's also playing better than he ever did as the No. 8 overall draft pick of theOakland Raiders. Formerly a liability in coverage, McClain is hanging with tight ends and running backs in addition to stuffing the run

Long term deal should be coming soon.

 

[Zordon]

please sign him before the price gets ridiculous. we have more than a dozen free agents after this year.

Get back vultures. He just wants to be another guy. Let's hold them off as long as we can. Going to be difficult. A diamond's gonna shine. Marinelli is already in love with him. There's suppose to be a Special Edition on Marinelli talking about this very soon.

I want to see it through at least half the season. Ernie Sims looked very good the first few games he came in until he got very lost thereafter.

I don't think this is the same thing, but I want more evidence.

Patience grasshopper, ... just keep watching.

These guys have agents for a reason. If you were his agent, would you sign a deal "before the price gets ridiculous"? Any agent will laugh that off and hold out foe a bigger pay day.

Its funny how things work out.The ravens couldnt get him to play and they traded him for a 6th rd pick only to pick another alabama LB with their 1st rd pick.

McClain I think had mental issues and got help for them. I am pulling for the guy.

Are you seriously mentioning Ernie Simms in the same post with me .... McLovin? Do you know who I am?

How much evidence do you need? Do you want me to bite a RB's head off and bring it to the Zone

 

[Risen Star]

Long term deal should be coming soon.

I would hope the team is smarter than that.

Any time a player produces, fans fall over their own feet pleading for an extension. Let it play out. He's played 3 games. He's got a history of quitting.

He was good in Oakland and played in the Nickel until he got too fatigued in a game in Denver. They took him out of the Nickel to limit his snaps more than because he could't cover.

Is he seriously 24? I thought with all that retirement stuff he would be like 26-27.

Beat to the punch....just saw this and was going to post it. He has All Pro potential if he can keep his head on straight. Pulling for the guy.

What's wrong with retirement? 24 isn't exactly young.

Ha! What I would give to be 24 again.

I agree with the notion of signing now and saving $. He ain't quittin. You can take that to the bank.

Nothings wrong with retirement... but since he retired 2-3 times I assumed he was around 26.

all i know is whatever issues he had previously in his life...he has put them to rest thus far.

his previous love for the game has been refueled.

his play along with the o-line and murray have made me have more fun watching the cowboys thus far than i have had in a long.........long time.

really sucks that carter got hurt...he was showing up big time the last two weeks.

i think ro has found a perfect home to reignite his love for the game and be done with whatever his issues were...professionally and personally.

i love his playing style,intelligence, personality,voice and the way the team follows his lead..

i hope he stays with us for 8 years or so...he's still a baby in football years.
