Imagine how disappointing it is for Raider fans to have watched him, and to have seen his greatness, ... only to have to watch him in a Cowboys uniform now.

i dont see how that isnt unneccessary roughness, but isnt it crazy to see a LB tackle someone like that ? Ive seen some dlinemen do it before

Ok. i see in post above that the play was flagged

He had one very similar for us earlier in the season that I was sure would be flagged, but it wasn't. It's insane to see him do it, though. I'm always stoked-the -cringing when he does something like that.

Yes. I remember the one before. A rb came through a hole right in the middle and rolando stopped him and grabbed him then slammed him down. While watching it live I was thinking wait did I just see that correctly and I had to rewind and see again. I remember it was discussed in a thread that week too.

Man he looks bigger to me in that Raiders uniform. The guy has some freakish strength though

I gotta say, my original title of: "Hello Darren..." Followed by, Remember me? was a much better title than

"Hello Darren Sproles from Rolando McClain as a Raider" followed by, Remember me?

I understand we want titles to be descriptive (although I didn't think about it at the time), but that just killed it.

That

That was a great play
I kind of like how all the Giants players just sit and watch McClain push their guy way back into the backfield and then they just turn and walk back to the huddle, lol.

I love the aggressiveness, but I have to say: slamming somebody into the ground like that really shouldn't be something you're able to do in the NFL.

I thought that was a penalty. No?

I thought it was. I'm primarily thinking of a game earlier in the year where he made a big stop, but tossed the guy into the ground but it wasn't called. I wish I could remember better. It might have been the Saints or the Seahawks. It was a game where we really needed the big plays. I just remember looking over my shoulder on my couch for a yellow flag that we couldn't afford, but it didn't come.

I remember that to.Don't remember which team either but seems like an unsporstsman like would be called or personal foul.

It was against the Titans, I believe. It was a short pass across the middle and Ro grabbed him and slung him down.

It wasn't as blatant as the one against Amandola, but it was pretty violent.

The lesson here would be don't catch a pass across the middle on McClain. :)

This. ODB was like "Uhh, let me get out of the way."

Thread title changes are generally weird and generally not needed.
