McFadden "wowing" at camp (1 Viewer)

[sholditch]

like to see this as a dynasty owner

McFadden wowing his coach daily

Darren McFadden - RB - OAK - Jul. 31 - 11:57 am et

Raiders coach Lane Kiffin says RB Darren McFadden is making a "wow play" or two every day in practice.

Kiffin is also impressed by McFadden's willingness to learn, and says the rookie is everything the team thought he would be. In Wednesday's practice McFadden worked with the receivers at one point before joining the running backs for positional drills, a sequence that Kiffin called "close to unheard of." Maybe in Oakland, Lane. Maybe in Oakland. Jul. 31 - 11:57 am et

"working with receivers" :X

I had heard he continues to look lost running patterns and finding the ball as a wide out.

"working with receivers"

I had heard he continues to look lost running patterns and finding the ball as a wide out.

There's likely a learning curve there if he hasn't done it in the past, especially at the NFL level.

I'd be interested to hear any first-hand observations you can find. Looking for any non-Brett news this camp season is getting really tough. Still, everything I read in the referenced article sounded really, really good.

McFadden - wowing at camp

Stewart - looks amazing! wow, speed + power

Mendenhall - definitely pushing Parker & creating a competition

Forte - burst of speed, great cutting, blah blah

K Smith - sure he runs upright & was a 3rd rd pick, but this kid looks great

Felix Jones - Julius who?

Chris Johnson - he's the next Reggie Bush! er.....

Ryan Torain - the RB coach LOVES this guy. absolutely loves him

Ray Rice - watch out McGahee

Notice a trend?

He's gonna bust a long run in pre-season and quickly become a 1st round pick/auction pricey pick. I'm not buying "this is Peterson 08" just yet though.

 

[zDragon]

Coach: WOW I can't believe you lost yardage again now go work out with the receivers until you learn how to hit the hole.

WR Coach: Hey why'd you send him over here? We are not trying to brick a house over here!!

Coach: Man, This is unheard of maybe we can have him punt for us.

 

[zDragon]

All kidding aside. He will be a decent back but I do not see him being the AD of 08. Way overrated but take advantage of this where you can. I traded away the #1 spot in my league to the guy that is lusting over him since I already have S. Jackson and A. Peterson.

McFadden is anything but overrated. He has an ADP of 5.10.

I heard that he looks "off".

Out of curiosity, what did you get for that spot?

Without turning this into an AC thread - which C Johnson? And was that all for one draft spot?

We have our auction the night before the opener. He'll cost a fortune by then.

So for the 1.1 in dynasty, you got Chad Johnson, Reggie Wayne, the 1.10 spot and Aaron Rodgers? Uh, I think you did pretty well. Any spots left in your league?

I don't get why you just didn't tell me who it was? I tried to engage in some good conversation about what a possible 1.1 dynasty pick was worth - you put "C. Johnson" before Reggie Wayne - and then refuse to tell me who it is when I ask you - only to say that "nope not Chad Johnson..." Thanks, seriously, this was fun.

Curtis. Rookie DL (DE actually) for the colts. Guess I didn't explain it real well. We try to keep it as close to the NFL as we can. So we do a normal non-snake draft, you can trade draft picks up to 3 years in advance, players to be named later, and even add incentives to up the future draft picks. In this case the actual trade included a 5th round pick to be named later, and 1.10 for 2009.

Explaining it in another post. Was doing two things at once and just replied since most were goofball (we love'm) responses. So I was a little put off.

There's likely a learning curve there if he hasn't done it in the past, especially at the NFL level.

Yea a 10 yard out is actually only 9.85 yds in the NFL.

I was kind of refering to the physical nature of the defenders and their increased speed as well as the different size football and the velocity/trajectory of the QB's throws plus doing it in a different offense than he did at Arkansas, but way to be funny.
