08:04 AM ET 03.09 | Le'Ron McClain 2.0? McClain has embraced the power of the Internet. The Baltimore Ravens fullback, former Alabama star and Tuscaloosa native has launched a campaign on his website to lobby for more carries. McClain is a free agent, but has expressed his desire to remain with the Ravens. He has made the Pro Bowl two of the past three seasons. McClain led the Ravens in rushing in 2008 with 232 carries, 902 yards and 10 touchdowns starting all 16 games for the first time in his career. His numbers dipped last year with just 28 carries for 58 yards and no touchdowns. Ravens coach Jim Harbaugh said last month at the NFL scouting combine he would "love" to have McClain signed.

If Willis leaves you'll get more power running carries

McClain better be careful with Tiki on the market...

The Ravens snatched up all those WRs and dilluted their run-first offense. The reward? The ball hitting the ground on crucial plays in the postseason. McClain is right. Get back to what works.

Breaking news: Donte Stallworth just dropped another pass.

I doubt Tiki will even play. You should question his timing.

That he is. And my guess is that he will end up playing for Tampa with his brother

Tampa has a pretty nice cadre of running backs right now. Why would they need this pompous ass?

Then they could swap jerseys and Tiki could play defense. Fumbling an interception return would make his career complete.

Perhaps it is part of the terms of the upcoming lookout?

'Cause that other pic of him at the podium makes him look like a politician running for State Senate from a small rural county in Georgia?

"The Baltimore Ravens fullback, former Alabama star and Tuscaloosa native has launched a campaign on his website to lobby for more carries."

Maybe if he increases his skills he'll get more carries. So maybe he should spend some extra time working out and practicing instead of posting such idiotic garbage on his Web site.

They have a lot of backs in Baltimore wanting the football.

The other backs usually get some carries when Ray Rice is hurt. Wasn't Ray injured the year McClain led the team in rushing?

Not sure... I thought McGahee was getting all of the carries when Rice went down.

So Jim is now the Ravens coach?

If you've seen one Harbaugh, you've seen 'em all.

Dunno. Guess that issue is past the statute of limitations on my ADHD.
