*Update RAVENS?* Rolando McClain waived. Thoughts?

So I'm seeing that it appears McClain may be headed to Baltimore.

I'm pretty excited about this. Potential to have 3 Alabama alums (McClain, Upshaw, Cody) on the field at one time for Baltimore! Should've guessed ole Ozzie Newsome (another Bama grad) would be the guy to give him a second go round. Plus, as the article says, Balt runs a similar defense to the one he excelled in at Bama. Perhaps we will see the Lambert/Butkus award winning McClain again after all. Good structured environment in that organization as well.
Any thoughts from Ravens fans?
I had such high hopes for Rolo coming out of Bama. Thought he'd be the next great Alabama linebacker in the pros, following Derrick Thomas, Cornelius Bennett, and Demeco Ryans.
He does have a thug side, which showed a few times at Alabama, and now a few times in the pros.
Did see something where he told the Raiders org before they drafted him that he wasn't comfortable in Oakland, being so far from home. Granted when you're a grown man, you have to get over that and play up to the level you're getting paid to play at.
He's still young, so here's hoping he doesn't waste his talent and finds a spot where he can contribute.
I'll never forget when he did this to new Patriots wr Amendola though.
