How does the Raider running load breakdown this week and forward? (1 Viewer)

[KingEl]

Seems like Fargas is back this week and will be the starter, McFadden is dinged up, but prob will play, and Bush has looked good.. How do the carries end up being split? With McFadden dinged up, I wonder if they will ease Fargas in or give him a full workload this weekend. The new coach made some quotes about the other backs having some negative yardage plays while Fargas was out, but he feels Fargas is their chain mover and rarely loses yards, so that seemed positive.

Fargas will get probably get fifty percent of the reps until he gets injured again.

Seems like all three of them have had injury issues at some point.... That oline can block, my fear is that Saints go up big and Oak has to play catchup

Ask Al Davis.

My guess McFadden is going to be getting the most work (if healthy). Otherwise the phone will be ringing down to the coaches telling them to feed him the rock.

If I had to guess..

50% - Fargas

40% - McFadden

10% - Bush

 

[AeroFANatic]

I think the split will be about 50% Fargas, 40% McFadden, and 10% Bush. Fargas gets the majority due to his blocking and pile moving skills.

That being said, do NOT start him this week. He will be rusty, and facing a Saints team that is sure to jump out big early.

West Coast teams, on the East Coast for 1pm games are recipes for disaster.

Wait to start Fargas until next week, at home vs NYJ.

NO is East Coast? But, I would agree that it should be a wait and see on Fargas. Hope he lights it up cuz I want to trade him to the McFadden owner.

 

[KingEl]

It's either start him or Maroney because of bye issues, so ....... I will be starting Fargas...

That's probably a wise choice...if Fargas plays.

Darren McFadden (toe) was in uniform as the Raiders commenced Wednesday's practice. He was not wearing a protective walking boot.

Coach Tom Cable said beforehand that he anticipated McFadden would partake, but McFadden reportedly made his way there "slowly" and seems likely to be limited. We'll have an update on his participation level this evening.

I wonder what percent McFadden really is 75?, 50? when it comes to his toe

 

[Chaka]

43.741% - RB1

39.983% - RB2

16.276% - RB3

Give or take a thousandth.

McFadden comes out with 113 yards on 17 carries and a TD.

<-- McFadden owner
