RAVENS CAMP, WESTMINSTER, MD. It's hard to tell who's happier: the Ravens to have Willis McGahee, or McGahee to be anywhere other than Buffalo. The '03 first-rounder rushed for 2,375 yards in his first two active seasons with the Bills, but western New York wore on the Miami native, and he in turn wore out his welcome; last year his production dipped to 990�yards. His reaction to being traded to Baltimore in March for future draft picks? Screams of joy. "I thank God for the 990, to tell you the truth," says McGahee, 25. "I was facing nine guys in the box." So far it's been all honeymoon in Baltimore. McGahee's outside speed and pass-catching ability have offensive coordinator Rick Neuheisel drawing up more three- and four-wide sets. And the new back's swagger fits in well. "That same attitude we have on defense," says linebacker Ray Lewis, "he has on offense."
