Second most Rushing Yards of Dmac's career!!

**kultan** · 12-17-2012, 08:00 AM

Darren eclipsed his second most rushing yards of his career this past Sunday.

Funny how we say it's the worst thing since slice bread and this is still the second best rushing yards this guy has ever had. Telling on all counts. Hope he gets more in the weeks to come.

Meanwhile, Mike Goodson is averaging 6.7 yards a carry this year.
Sadly he doesn't look durable enough to be anything more than a change of pace back.

I think Dmac better spend the off season getting in tip top shape, his speed, burst and aggressiveness has taken a hit this year, and when you take those things away, he doesn't offer much else.

He's had 2 games with more rushing yards this season alone, so I have no clue where you got that this was the 2nd most of his career.

Edit: do you mean season total?

Huh? Do you watch Raider games??? Do you maybe mean second most carries in a single game?

He's talking about season totals, this year is the second most rushing yards he has had in a season.

2008- 499 yards
2009- 357 yards
2010- 1157 yards
2011- 614 yards
2012- 617 yards

Whats crazy, if you combine all of Dmacs career rushing yards accept the 2010 season, you have a little over 2000 yards, Adrian Peterson is on pace for that in just this season, kind of hits home how much Dmac is not an elite back.

So what? The thing that matters is POINTS. Of which Oakland only got 15 for all those yards. Don't try and talk anyone on this board into getting jazzed for DMC getting big yards against a team that is even MORE garbage than the Raiders when he never got into the end-zone (or anyone else either).

Uh, that was the Chiefs, no bragging points there. Peterson would have run for a new NFL high against that defense.

He is elite when he's healthy. Problem is ... he's hurt more than he's not.

Wow, DMC exposed. And to think we actually drafted JaMarcus...

**Harmer <Canada>** · 12-17-2012, 09:53 AM

He ran completely different from his previous outings this year. He actually went for the hit at the end the run instead of running out of bounds.

I actually really like Mike Goodson, he's a bruiser and runs full speed all the time, you can tell the guy has HEART which many raiders lack.

When we drafted McFadden if you would have told me these would have been his numbers after 5 seasons I would have a called him a huge draft bust. This proves that we need to move on from him. Running backs don't get better with age.

One thing that can be said is maybe he is not as beat up as much as other backs after five years, I realize somewhat of an oxymoron because of his injury history, but I still think could be true, I for one think his best years are his next three. But of course I could be wrong.

Goodson has been a pleasant surprise when on the field great vision, patience, making people miss and showing great explosiveness and burst. Ideal zbs back but the question is his durability.
