Felix over McFadden remark

[dfense]

I think it was on NFL live or maybe NFL channel maybe, but the conversation about McFadden signing with the Raiders turned to Felix being the go to guy at Oklahoma on short yardage and goal line because he wasn't afraid to "stick his nose" into the pile. McFadden was much more of a perimeter runner.

I liked hearing that!

well its not a bad thing but in our two back system its the other guy who is already the specialist in that regard so this isnt exactly something that excites me

Well, Felix did go to High School in Oklahoma...Tulsa, I believe.

He also verbally committed to Ok State before backing out at the last minute.

These idiots should watch some of the actual games before they go on tv and position themselves as some kind of expert.

McFadden was a perimeter runner!?!? Really?? They assume that because he's fast?

And McFadden was pulled in short yardage and goal line situations??? Ridiculous.

I posted this in another thread on McFadden...

I read an interesting draft analysis by Greg Cosell. He is an executive producer for NFL Films (Howard's nephew), who watches a lot of tape and analyzes pro and college players. I've always respected and enjoyed his analysis. Cosell was not high on DMac at all. Very critical of his game as it projects to the NFL. He said the NFL is about lateral quickness, not straight line speed and DMac does not have the lateral quickness needed to excel in the NFL.

As for Felix, Cosell was very complimentary, saying he had tremendous lateral quickness and an explosive burst and that there were a lot of times on film that Felix looked like LT. Interesting analysis, I thought.
