DMac looks slow to me.

He doesn't look explosive, like he did in college.

Chris Johnson was impressive. He showed two nice cuts on that first run at the second level.

He looks like their best weapon.

Felix & Johnson VS Mendenhall & Stewart

Prolly cause the players around him aren't as slow as the collegiate level. Big step up in the speed dept.

Man i swear watching Russel play QB, he can make Vince Young look like Peyton Manning.

I cringe when i see him drop back

huh? are you freaking serious?

Russell looks like an eons better passer today than Young will ever be...Young is quite possibly the worst passing QB in football...he looks even worse than last yr

Vince Young takes way too much flap. He isnt a convential QB but he has been pretty productive for a guy just coming into his 3rd season in the league.

dude, he just isnt a QB

guy is a horrible passer...has ZERO ability to throw with accuracy downfield

every team they play this yr should just crowd the LOS...they will have a tougher time running the ball, and on passing plays Young is so poor at reading the blitz that he'll end up getting sacked alot...and even if he oes get time to throw, your odds are good that he'll miss the open guy because he is so inaccurate

I don't think the Raiders will be any good (again), but they're always fun to watch.

"Commitment to comedy"

"Just don't be boring, baby"

I dont think they will finish .500, but I could see them winning 6 or 7 perhaps...they'll give alot of teams good games

So far CJ has 6 carries 44 yards and looks pretty good running between the tackles.

yeah he had some nice runs...but he did drop a kickoff and dropped an easy screen pass too

I'm hearing McFadden isn't even going to be the starter for the first part of the year. Don't know how true that is but I bet it doesn't last long. I predict he is a fantasy sleeper (Michael Turner being the REAL sleeper).

they supposedly are drooling over him (McFadden) though...say he makes big plays every day in practice

I'd stay away from Turner because the Falcons are going to be terrible...they will end up starting a rookie for most (if not all) the yr at QB, and have a terrible OL...

I think Young has actually gotten worse from last year, he is not stepping into the throws and that is screwing up his accuracy. He seems confused by the coverages also, looks like he is not sure who to throw the ball to.

For this to be his 3rd year, it is kinda disturbing. :(

Young's WRs just plain suck!

I dont know what game you were looking at, but his guys got open routinely and he just missed them...4/13 for less than 40 yds is just horrible, especially when the other team has niether of its starting CB's in there

some of you love this guy to death, but he is a horrendous passer

I hear McFadden is doing well in practice as well. I see him starting by game 4 but SHOULD be starting game 1.

As far as Turner, you can grab him in the 2nd or 3rd (sometimes 4th round) and he is one of a handful of backs that will not be splitting carries. He's not gonna be a AP or LT, but he's a bargain, potentially.

You can say, "stay away" from him, but if you can land him in the 3rd and pass on him, you're crazy. JMO/FWIW............
