Ray Rice Needs a Nickname
Written by Dan McGrain October 19th, 2009Through 6 games this season, Ray Rice has proven to be a beast for the Ravens. Take a look at the numbers.
1st in the league in total yards with 766 – more than 127 per game.
9th in the league in rush yards with 441 – and one of only three in the top 10 with more than 6.0 ypc, one of only 2 in the top 10 with no fumbles.
1st in the league in receiving yards by a RB with 325.
And all this despite averaging fewer than 18 touches per game. 18! In fact, in three games this season he hasn’t even touched the ball 16 times total.
So what’s it going to be… Ray Rice’s nickname?

How about “Uncle Ben”, because opposing defenses are cooked in 15 minutes?

The guys over at Ravens365 took to calling him “Mighty Mouse” last year, and I tend to like that one. Or at least, it’s the best one I’ve heard so far.

Going along with the plays on rice… I almost would like to see Dirty Ray Rice. Inappropriate?
Otherwise… I like something about size too…still haven’t quite found the right one though.

Let’s try to keep this as Un-Berman-esque as possible.

Minute Rice. Because he could score any minute now.
