On the first day of the Oakland Raiders' OTAs, running back Darren McFadden practiced in full view of the media for the first time since suffering a foot injury last October, and Steve Corkran of the Bay Area News Group reports the 2008 first round pick appeared to do so without limitation
"Darren McFadden looks full go out here. Running, catching, cutting, doing every drill," Corkran observed.
Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer, who has yet to share the field with McFadden in a regular-season game, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that McFadden is a sight to behold.
"That's the hardest thing for me right now is you want to watch him cause he's so electrifying and he can do so many different things," Palmer said. "But I have a job on bootlegs and things like that and I have to make sure I get him the ball and then boot, but getting him on the field is just something the defense has to key on and really focus on and it's been great to work with."
"Explosive home-run hitter on any given down, and those are guys that are tough to deal with because you might bottle them up for a while, but all it takes is one play and he hits a home run and ends up beating you," Dennis Allen told the AP. "So he's an exciting player. He's working hard out here every day to get better, to learn the system, to make sure he knows what to do and how to do it, and make sure he can execute under pressure."
Now that I hear these great news am exited for the new season to start. McFadden is one of my favorite players and one of the most electrifying players in the game, his only downside is not staying healthy for the whole season. Palmer couldn't of said it any better, because I don't want to miss any plays from McFadden either. I mean if you happen to miss one play, that play could end up in a touchdown and you're going to be mad like I am every time I miss a touchdown from him (Which are not a lot).
Everyone notice the difference he makes when his on the field and when his not. The defence if focused on him and there for gives the Quarterback more time to make plays especially on Play Action plays. All I want is to see McFadden play the whole season along side Carson Palmer, Jacoby Ford, Denarius Moore, and Darrius Heyward-Bey. All these player have great speed (eccept Palmer his a trunk...LOL) and at any given time can turn any play into a touchdown play. This is very exiting and all I can say is...GO RAIDERS!!!!!
