Dmac

[STSINAZ]

dmac could end up being a bust...no one knows at this point, he is not a homerun player...if he was you wouldnt be able to even think about trading for him...so i pass on trading up for him...if he slips to 15,,thats another story...

I've watched him the past 3 years. I watch a lot of SEC ball.

I still remember asking my friend "Who was that?!" while watching the Bama/Arkansas game in 2005 when he ripped off a 70 tard TD run against Bama his freshman year. A little hole opened on the left side of the line and he burst through the hole like a rocket!! The Bama LBer and safety tried to get over, but it was too late, McFadden left them in his dust. It looked like a Bo Jackson run. That's how explosive it was.

After the Bama game this past season, several Bama defenders were quoted as saying "McFadden is all man!" They were very impressed with him. The thing that impressed me about him in the Bama game this past season was he kept toting the rock all game long and he didn't have any huge, 70 yard type runs, but he kept hitting it for 10, 15 yard runs at a time on his way to a 195 yards on 33 carries and 2 TDs!

The guy is a bona fide stud!!

i have payed a lot of attention to him the last 2 seasons. he can and does run between the tackles. he hits the hole hard and fast. obviously he can and does run to the edges but i think that's because he knows how to use the whole field. he fumbled a lot this past season but that can be fixed(tiki barber anyone). he doesn't look as muscular as other rbs but don't let that fool you. he can run with power also.plus he's only 20 years old and is still developing as a man and a player. the sky is the limit for this kid.

This must be an impostor.

Really?

Miles Austin wide-open for a sure 40 yard plus TD?

TO wide open on a slant that Romo over-threw, which would have been a sure TD.. instead, they settled for a field-goal...

Crayton dropping a wide-open pass that would have gone like 70 yards...

Crayton slowing down on a pass...

While Reebes definitely sucked, our offense was more to blame...

further, we already shored up our pass defense in a major way by signing Zack Thomas...

Yes those were part of the problem but if you believe signing Thomas fixes our coverage problem then I'll leave it at we will have to agree to disagree.

IMO a cb is our biggest need not a luxury rb when we already have a pro bowl rb.

Oh good another McFadden thread.

 

[Yeagermeister]

Oh good another McFadden thread.

Just wait for all the we should have drafted him threads when the season starts :laugh2:

 

[theogt]

yeah i understand why everybody wants corners and a wr or 2 but i don't wanna pass on this kid cause i think he's gonna be special.

o yeah and about mayock saying he doesn't keep his legs moving when he's about to get tackled, maybe he didn't watch this game either

Haha. Mayock pwn3d at 0:27.

Yes he is!

And what CB in the draft is a home run player? There are so many good CB's and WR's in the later rounds that it is pointless to pay one first round money when. a. they won't even contribute to the team that year. B. you can the same talent in the 2nd 3rd and even 4th rounds. Mcfadden is different there is no one like him other then AP and to those who say Dmac is like bush they must not know anything about football because mendenhall is more like bush. The only thing bush and dmc have is the number.

nice power running against alabama

His legs didn't look like they went dead against them. The run at approx. 1:33, it looked like he kept churning away.

I have seen almost every game of McFadden's career. Most people in AR regard him as the greatest Hog ever. His combination of speed, power, and competitive fire are out of this world. What people need to keep in mind is that McFadden ran for a team that had no passing game. Every SEC defense knew that McFadden was coming, and they still couldn't stop him. Don't believe me though - just ask the SEC coaches. Here's a few:

"Not many guys since I've been in the league can flat out dominate like he has. Not too many can take it to the house because there are so many fast guys. He makes people miss and does it so cleanly that when he does, he's gone." — Georgia coach Mark Richt

"I don't think you can stop that offense. I really believe, all equal, if you got a guy like that back there and you control the ball at all, it's an offense that's impossible to stop. If he's not the best running back in the country, I don't know who is. He's the best one I've seen." — Florida coach Urban Meyer

------------------------------------------------------

Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville says his past two great ones, Carnell "Cadillac" Williams and Ronnie Brown, were special.

But not McFadden special.

"He's as good as we've seen in this league in a while," Tuberville said. "Ronnie and Carnell, neither one of them had the burst that he has after 5 yards. It's going to be fun to watch him when we're not playing him. The last few weeks, he's one of those guys who rarely come around."

Can he be Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker great?

"Yep," Tuberville said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Former Auburn coach Pat Dye coached against Georgia's Herschel Walker and coached Bo Jackson. Dye doesn't hesitate to mention those two SEC legends in the same breath as McFadden.

"There's been some great backs in this conference since they were here," Dye said. "But I believe McFadden is the best running back we've had in this conference since Bo."

Dmac running style reminds me of Eric Dickerson.

Eric ran upright and had skinny legs.

 

[David276]

its hard for him to be impressive when the entire defense keys on him and they have absolutely no one else to take the treat away from him. he is a beast and will be a beast. small legs? haha alright.. light for his size? does anyone actually think that he wont put on weight and get stronger in the nfl? .

 

[McCordsville Cowboy]

23 fumbles, all the red flag issues

Mighty risky to give him $20-$20 Million dollars and trade away 2-3 #1's
In a deep RB class

Sounds like somebody has been sippin on Mike Mayock's Haterade.

Oakland at #4 with Al Davis is going to take this kid as the next Bo Jackson. He's looked for Bo's replacement since he left.

Now that he has a shot at his clone, he's going to end our agony early in the draft and claim him.

That's my feeling about it. Had we been able to turn the Cleveland pick into a top 5 pick, we might have been able to work a deal with one of the teams ahead of Oakland to get him before Davis pulls the trigger.

But not now, it's too far to come back from the other side of the draft with picks #22 and #28 to get it done.

I'd love to see it, but when I look at where we are, it would take either a brain fart by some team to let us trade up or we'd have to sell the farm to get him.

Either way, give me the odds out of Las Vegas on it and I'll let you know the probability of it happening.

DMac is not a Bo Jackson clone. He doesn't have any where near the same strength as Bo. Bo was a once in a lifetime athlete.

 

[burmafrd]

BO was also faster as well

 

[Yeagermeister]

BO was also faster as well

True both in and out of pads...plus let's see DMac hit a fastball or run over a catcher.

nice power running against alabama

Mike Mayock should turn his attention to the myriad of plays that end up like the one at the 1:30 mark of that vid in McFadden's career, where the play is ending, he lowers the boom, and drives his legs for an extra 5 yards.

Dead, skinny legs my ***. Watch football, people.
