News: Darren McFadden’s Injury Woes Continue to Plague Him

[BoysFan4ever]

Well, the Raiders loved him. Until they dumped him.

I hope not either.

Question: I know you’ve been breaking down some tape on McFadden. The knock on him has always been that he’s a good straight line runner with some explosiveness but that he’s very stiff and can’t make people miss. Does that concur with what you’ve seen from him in the games you’ve studied?

Sturm: My biggest concern with McFadden these days is that it looks like he has lost his decisiveness. He seems to not go anywhere particularly fast at the moment he gets the ball. This offense needs a RB shot out of a cannon and I fear that he has been ruined by his difficulties in Oakland. That piece will be out soon.

By the way this discussion is over anymore attempts by you to keep it going will get you removed from my viewing list.

lmao....KJJ....dude, if you keep this up you are going to just be talking to yourself! lol Well, strike that, you already do.

I heard he has a vaginal tear this time. Could be serious.

Sounds Painful !!!

Woe, now (to the bold). I seem to remember our dominant 90s line didn't do much when Emmitt sat out the first two games of the season. And I remember oh, Curvin Richards and Sherman Williams and Derrick Lassic and Blair Thomas and other no names who didn't do much behind those lines.


We definitely couldn't plug and play any running back behind that line. Whether we can plug and play any running back behind this line remains to be seen.

We have those same guys, but now they are our current RBBC.

Let's hope it works out. But, the games have not started yet.

But you did use the right word "current".

Of what caliber? So we lose the NFL's leading rusher and backfill with a street free agent during August?

That would qualify as an 'issue' for me.

Relax bro, the resident experts here at the zone have informed me that anybody with a heartbeat can put up 1200 yards behind this line.

That's nice, we have a timid RB

When is Ray Rice trying out ?

When is Ray Rice trying out ?

If he ever ends up on an NFL roster again he'll make news for beating the odds. His reputation is so bad Kathy Lee Gifford refused to share an elevator with him when he stopped by for an interview on the Today show.
