The oft-injured Darren McFadden tops the list of backs here, just barely edging out the Saints’ prolific duo, which might come as a surprise. Also in the Top 10 are Arian Foster, Matt Forte and Rice, showing that they aren’t just in for pass plays to make the defense think they might run, but because they are very effective as receivers. Also in the Top 10 is a reunion of the 2010 San Diego backfield, as Sproles was once a Charger, Ryan Mathews on his small sample finished fifth, and Mike Tolbert rounded out the top group. |
DMC is going to go off in a WCO with both feet and hands. In a bit of irony Benson graded out as one of the worst receiving RBs in the league. He's not right for the Raiders or a WCO. I'd rather have Ed Wesley and I wouldn't be surprised to see him brought in.

The bottom of the chart is full of interesting names as well. Cedric Benson has not been the answer in Cincinnati’s passing game and he was replaced by BenJarvus Green-Ellis, who hasn’t fared much better. Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden prizes receiving backs for his West Coast offense, so one has to wonder if they really added anything. The Chiefs also decided to make a change by replacing the second-least-effective back in Thomas Jones, but they had a major upgrade with one of the best receiving backs in 2010, Peyton Hillis. In 2011, the Cardinals traded away Tim Hightower who hasn’t fared well in this metric, but still have Beanie Wells in the Bottom 10.Read the rest of the article here . . . |

DMAC is an all around impressive football player. He has better hands than a lot of WRs in the game.
If he stays healthy, there is no limit to what he can be in Oakland. I feel robbed when he's not playing. When he's on, I feel like a teenager giddy watching him touch the ball.

This is known. I just hope his feet become some of the healthiest in the game. We need him to be a formidable opponent this season IMO.

I'm desperate for DMac to stay healthy this year, dispell the doubters (though they are justified with regard to his injury history) and be the player Al Davis knew he could be. Not only is he a very talented football player he works his butt off too and it's these types of players we should all be rooting for......
With regard to the WCO that should allow him to excel and really show his skill set so it's all the more important we pray to the god of metatarsels or turf toes or whatever that he stays 100% fit. Only reservation i have is the zone blocking scheme of the OL, maybe it was due to his injury troubles but he struggled with it first time round.

With him and Reece in the backfield, we have a very dangerous duo that can run, catch, and even pass (DMC). Im hoping Knapp can use this to our advantage- we should be able to cause fits for opposing defenses with two receiving backs with their size and speed back there.
