McFadden, The Raidah!: The Press Conference

[Stabler2Branch]

If Bush is healthy I see a Bush/DMC tandem as more dangerous than a Fargas/DMC platoon. Thunder and lightning is more versatile than lightning and li'l lightning. Fargas and DMC should split time until DMC is comfortable and/or Fargas gets dinged.
Using McFadden as a receiver may be the single most deadly use of him at first. No one's going to want to blitz us if we dump it off to that guy for 40 yards a pop in the open field. And when they ease up the pressure on JaMarcus and give him time, watch out downfield. Anyway, I HOPE that's the way it goes.

Fargas will become the odd man out, not Bush IMO.

Time will tell......*skull thingy here*

I agree. I think given Bush's age, he is going to round out a very young very dangerous RB tandem. This is going to be fun to watch. Fargas will play plenty but his time is limited. He's almost 30...

Nice read Dee..

If fargas and Mac split carries... who will return kicks?

First JaMarcus.
Now McFadden.

All we're missing is a big play receiver and we have our own 3-headed monster.

Say what you will about our run D needing help, I think it's more important to get JR help.

Welcome to the Silver & Black DMC!

Thanks for the read Dee. Definitely expecting big things from our backfield now that we've thoroughly addressed the position.

I see us wearing out Fargas till the tires give, while Lane picks and chooses where Bush & McFadden will play to get a feel for their styles & to see which plays work with which player. At least i hope so, for Bush's sake.

Then there's also Jordan and Rhodes who are none to happy about the selection and already packed their bags to dip.

All we're missing is a big play receiver and we have our own 3-headed monster.

Naw, first we got Russell, then Miller, then McFadden. We might have the nucleus of a potent offense already in place.

wonder if kiffin will line him up at receiver also? wouldnt be a bad idea now and then like reggie bush does but dmc would probably catch the pass.
