McGahee primed for big season

I have a feeling that the much-maligned Willis McGahee is primed for his best season yet in a Baltimore uniform.

McGahee knows his big salary will be on the chopping block in the offseason with the Ravens looking to create much-needed cap space and with a lot of depth at the running back position on the roster.

I know that McGahee's laziness and carelessness has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, but I really think changes are in store for the 2009 season.

He is healthy for possibly the first time in his career as a Raven and might be in the best shape of his life. He seems dedicated and focused on reclaiming the starting job, helping the team win and proving that he is one of the NFL's premiere running backs.

I'm not sure that McGahee will end up with a huge statistical season because of the presence of Ray Rice and Le'Ron McClain, but I think he will make the most of his opportunities.

McGahee, along with the stable of running backs and a promising offensive line, should give the Ravens one of the top running attacks in the NFL.

Such a strong effort from McGahee this year would make things very interesting for the Ravens in the offseason when it comes to what they should do with their veteran running back.
