Title: Good article on Ro Post by: 2Stater on October 17, 2014, 08:21:46 AM http://regressing.deadspin.com/how-the-cowboys-have-made-the-most-out-of-ex-bust-rolan-1646343674/+kylenw
Language warning! Quote McClain's tackling and hitting are stellar, as you might expect from an Alabama alumnus. He's astute enough to find holes in the line, and the Cowboys have utilized that by giving him 89 snaps on run defense. He's a play-killer: His run stop percentage, at 14.8%, is third-best behind Stephen Tulloch and Luke Kuechly. Even when McClain doesn't get the chance to fully wrap up, he holds on long enough for a teammate to finish the takedown. That's a good attribute to have when you're playing in Monte Kiffin's bend-don't-break defense. (Kiffin and Rod Marinelli are probably better teachers than Oakland's shuffling coaching staffs.)

Glad to see him turning his life around. I hope he stays on the right path. |
