Mosley has had an outstanding year for the Ravens. Up for DROY. Thought his size would make it hard for him to transition (for now), but he's blown away my expectations.

@bamaraider, Mosley has adapted as well as or better than actually anyone could have expected.

On the other hand, during the Dallas game last Sunday, I heard Hollingsworth say that the knock on McClain is he can't tackle high. He said if McClain's running down someone he can't bring him down and while he was saying that, that very thing happened. The running back ran by McClain as his hands slipped down the RBs back. Don't remember him having that problem at Bama.

That was one issue of McClain's while we was at Oakland too. That and basically "jogging" to the player with the ball. I'm glad he's shown a lot more effort and leadership at Dallas, but he lost a ton of respect from me as an Oakland fan. Couldn't shed blocks, late to the ball, average in running down the ball carrier, and lack of leadership..
