News: McFadden broke elbow in home accident *Update post 169*

Morris and Zeke. Last year was an oulier for DMC as far as injuries.

McFadden has proven he can carry the load and has been a good player for us. He was one of the few shining things from last year. You don't even know if Morris can thrive in this scheme. I think we should just wait and see what happens.

Morris actually has played similar zone scheme with Shanahan. McFadden has proven that he does not fit the scheme which is why they had to run more man for him last season. He was horrible in much of the zone stuff.

Actually, Morris is a good zone runner (unlike DMC).

McFadden only thrived when they changed the blocking scheme. And did you see those holes he ran through? ANY back could have done that.

Gotta love the depth at RB this year.

Haha, the injury was coming one way or another.

This is why you don't trade away backs right now. Injuries usually sort these things out by themselves.

Actually, it's also a case for why you do. Had you traded DMac earlier, you would have gotten value for him and he would now be another teams problem. Just saying.

Regression toward the mean.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

well at least it wont be hard to move on now from him.

Oh, lad, that was so unnecessary. But I forgive you.

 

[Bowdown27]

Still don't think DMC makes the 53

I was a huge dmc fan in college but this kid can't stay healthy even at home.

 

[DTown214]

Looks like we'll be rolling with Zeke and Morris with Dunbar for special situations. Fine with me. I assume there's a decent chance Dmac gets cut... hopefully he gets well and another team swoops him up and he has a solid season.

 

[YosemiteSam]

lol, since when does physicals include x-rays of your elbow.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

But he had promised to mentor Elliott. Well, he can mentor while he rehabs.

 

[gimmesix]

Ouch. Not the loss of McFadden. That just sounds like it would hurt.

Apparently not too much if he practiced with it and it was only discovered because of the X-ray.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Amazing. The injury prone McFadden goes down again. How he lasted the entire year last year with all those carries is a miracle.

So who were all those guys last year telling us that McFadden was just fine at RB?

You obviously havent followed McFaddens career. If you did, you wouldnt say that he has proven he can carry the load. Its has been just the opposite.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

lol, since when does physicals include x-rays of your elbow.

When they check you out and you say your arm hurts

 

[Jenky]

Haha, the injury was coming one way or another.

Sad to say, but it is McFadden..

I totally agree with this. McFadden might end up being our healthiest back this season for all we know. I don't consider trading any of them until camp ends, and that's only if four prove worth keeping.
