The Oakland Oline selectively sucked the most when blocking for McFadden as opposed to the other runners on the team where, in obviously what was a bit of a conspiracy again McFadden, their OL line good enough for those runners to average 1 - 2 more yards per carry.

HE implied their oline sucked.. Not me. You and Risen Star need to learn how to read. Lmao

Just imagine if all of our RBs can't match Murrays' production in Philthy.

McFadden has softer hands. Catching is one of his better traits. Wonder if he can still break a 4.4.

Watch the interview with Nick Eatman on Dallascowboys.com, he says he can still run in the 4.3's. I think he's anxious and hungry.

Name one player, at any position, that has played well in Oakland the past decade.

Randy Moss looked old and done there, then went to New England and dominated.

Charles Woodson before he signed with Green Bay.

In the last decade? 10 years ago Woodson played his final season with the Raiders. He played in 6 games. He had 17 INTs in his first 8 seasons with Oakland. He had 38 in his next 7 with GB, including 19 in his first 3.

Or it could be much like sending in Harris, using a heavy formation, or running repeatedly on first down. I haven't had a chance to check him out myself yet -I will- but Broaddus was saying he commonly ran into 8-9 man boxes.

Oakland gets very few national games so I suspect most of the people complaining haven't even seen him play lately.

people are assuming this is the same Mcfadden who came out of Arkansas,i watched him one game last year and it was painful.i am not even sure why i was watching a raider game,all he did was run to to the olinemans butt and fall down.

You can't rationalize 3.4 yards a carry. Not when other backs are getting a full yard more.

I don't know what the hope is. He wasn't trying?

I think he replaces Dunbar as the third back. He is a better blocker and can catch as well as run. A more complete back than Dunbar. When he comes in the defense is off guard not knowing if he will run or go out for a pass.

As a whole I think they are looking to improve the group. So I see draft pick,Williams, McFadden as the group. I think Randle will be gone due to his off the field antics and the confidence they have in Williams.

Bingo... Great post! draft Coleman or Duke Johnson with Williams and McFadden and that's a good trip. I said Randle and Dunbar should be cut long ago and hopefully it will happen asap.

I just watched McFadden do things in that clip that Murray just can't do, he's strong fast and alusuvive and big. He can be unstoppable behind our oline. I don't care what his ypc while in Oakland, Dallas isn't Oakland. He'll be playing in a real offense with a top notch QB a beast at receiver and the best oline in football. THAT'S NOT OAKLAND.

People forget what this guy did in college... he didn't just forget how to play. Oakland is a piece dog turd. Ask Rolando.
