(has he even finished 8-games in one year?)
———–
His personal best is 13. With those skinny legs, it seems to me he’s better suited to play outside, maybe coming into the backfield on 3rd down because of his versatility and blocking skills. I’m just a fat guy with no useful football knowledge, but I hate seeing such an explosive athlete spend so much time in the training room.

Coinicidentally he might not have been in this position again.

Same scenario- often injured, marginal production. Complete BUST! AL haunts him.

The fact is this. An elite back can run in any scheme. Also, the Raiders have incorporated more gap/power blocking as the season has gone on. It still hasn’t worked, and, I hate to say it, a big part of it is McFadden.

He simply is not running the way he did the last two years. When DB’s are coming up one on one and taking him down easily you know something is wrong. He would run over a DB one on one the prior two seasons.

I don’t know if the coaching staff has told him to alter his running style, DMAC is still gun shy about his foot, or it’s a combination of both. He is not the same player as the last two seasons.

I never thought I would say it, but it might be time for DMAC to move on after this season if he can’t recapture the running style he once had. Yeah, it would help if he wasn’t injured all the time either. It’s frustrating to think we could have drafted Adrian Petersen in 2007. Instead, we took some guy that played QB for LSU. His name was………….Yeah, him.

Hasn’t this been the business model of the Raiders the last decade or so? Draft track stars and “strong guys” in the top 5, keep sucking, and repeat.
—————–
Davis had been drafting speed guys a lot further back than the last decade or so, but with a different guy making the picks, that model will change.

I do give him credit though. He made it four weeks longer than anyone(outside Oakland) expected.

Just admit you had this one wrong Florio.

I wonder if Carson is missing Cincinnati yet?

He decided he would retire before he would play for them again, so I’m guessing no.

McFadden and Murray. Figure both of them combined would add up to a full season. Murray, who has a reputation as injury prone, I think, kind of gets a bad rap back to his Sooner days. He didn’t miss too many games there, but overall it would be great to have a tandem like those two.

BUST. But the youtube of him from 2010 and Arkansas is some amazing stuff.
———–
Was he there on vacation? The Raiders drafted him in 2008, you clown.
How is Goodson coming along? McFadden was in a boot on Monday, so there was little doubt about seeing him on the field this month, but I was hoping Goodson might be a fast healer. The coaching staff doesn’t trust Jones, and while Reece is a nice athlete, he is not a halfback.

Perhaps you missed the past half-decade of the game, but running backs are becoming quite innexpensive on the open market. There are no more “big” contracts of any kind, for even elite players (which McMuffin is not). Add to that the fact that the guy literally can’t stay healthy enough to finish out a whole season (has he even finished 8-games in one year?) and he’s going to be lucky to get a league minimum salary as a 3rd-down guy.

In retrospect, they really should have figured out a way to keep Michael Bush.

I’ve seen a lot of Raiders fans say the only person that can stop McFadden is Greg Knapp and I’m rather inclined to agree. He’s a total beast when he’s healthy.
