McAlister's knee
Since Ravens nose guard Kelly Gregg recently had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and coach John Harbaugh said today that running back Willis McGahee is undergoing the procedure on his left knee, I asked cornerback Chris McAlister if he'd soon be on the list. It makes sense because McAlister could get the surgery, and if there wasn't a problem, he could be ready for the season opener. McAlister has missed the last two days of practice and is wearing a brace on his left knee.
"What, are you crazy?' asked McAlister. "Nope, I've never been under the knife, and I'm not going under the knife."
A simple no would have sufficed. But with C-Mac, nothing is ever simple. But I admit, I do like asking him questions because you never know what answer you're going to get.

I'm confused, didn't CMac have offseason surgery on his knee? I guess the anesthesia really did something to CMac's head

Its mid-August, the season is on and I do not get the sense he is really going to play.
Hopefully he becomes healthy enough for the nickle package in big games, but as a starter and force-no way. Time to move on.
Good offseason moves-a lot of these guys have exhausted bodies and were never challenged to be in the shape that is being asked now.

He may not have been under the knife but he sure was under the ball as it went over his head and into the hands of receivers who ran past him like he was 90 years old last season.
