I'm real happy he's back, I'm sure most of you saw the Dunbar t.d. ( nullified due to penalty) but that's the reason why they cling to him ,he adjusted his vector/ angle to easily cross the goal line ahead of lateral pursuit,,,, man alive! freaking Elliott continues to amaze me,he's damn near a human bulldozer out there powering out yards with never less than three defenders either getting bowled over or attached to him like ticks on a coon hound ,I saw him moving 4-5 red jerseys backwards repeatedly,,,he did get stopped behind the line by a single defender where he got wrapped up around both shins(he was moving to fast to employ the Emmett Smith 'jump cut',,,:starspin:)

I'm hoping he'll turn out to be a valuable addition throughout the playoff run and well into the playoffs. His versatility should allow us to exploit the opposition to a greater extent than what Morris did. Alfred was fairly inept as a pass catcher, although a decent runner. DMC should also afford us with a more physical presence than what Dunbar has to offer, as well as being a better blocker. I'm quite pleased with our options on offense.
I am really liking our matchup with the Lions this next weekend. Very average defense and one trick pony offense. Slay their top db is probably out for the game.

Yupsir, they pretty much took themselves out of the game vs. the Giants -- let's hope they're similarly as charitable for us! :)

He is a fumbler historically. No likey.

McFadden has fumbled 20 times in 9 seasons. His fumble rate is 1 per 77 touches. That's not a bad rate. In fact, it's better than Elliott's for this season (1 per 68 touches).

I thought he looked and played well last night. I liked that they used him as the FB near the goal line, and got that 1st down when everyone was probably thinking Zeke up the middle.
They lined him up as a wide out. Spelled Zeke much better than Morris has done lately. They were able to use Dunbar more effectively as a receiver.

And this was all in his first action back.
Props to the team for making this move.

Think him being split and stuff will only be setting up bigger plays coming, he looks good lined up at receiver since he's tall, if the linebacker goes with him, you know that streak is coming.
