Wed, 23 May 2012 06:39:39 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden (foot) has showed no lingering effects during offseason workouts from the foot injury that forced him to miss the final nine games last season. He has displayed great speed in practice.
Wed, 16 May 2012 07:52:24 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden said Tuesday, May 15, his goal is to rush for 1,800 yards in 2012, the same goal he had for last season. "I was hoping to get to 1,800 rushing yards, but it didn't work out that way," McFadden said. "I will keep pushing for it this year and hopefully get to those goals."
Wed, 16 May 2012 05:27:35 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden said Tuesday, May 15, he is comfortable playing in the team's zone blocking scheme. McFadden struggled with the scheme in his first two seasons as a pro, only to have more success when the team switched to a power scheme. "I feel I can fit in any scheme running the ball," McFadden said. "Now I feel like I've got my feet wet in the NFL, now I have my confidence boosted, so it's just, going out there and playing with confidence I'm going to go out there and run the ball."
Wed, 16 May 2012 05:24:10 -0700 Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden (foot) said Tuesday, May 15, he is 100 percent after suffering a severe foot injury last season. McFadden is not concerned with injuring the foot again. "It was just a freak thing, you know. I'm going out there and playing like it never happened," McFadden said. "I'm not going to worry about it. My thing is, just go out there and play hard. I can't control the things that happen when you go out there and get tackled, so I just go hard every play."
Mon, 14 May 2012 05:47:01 -0700 Oakland Raiders running backs coach Kelly Skipper said the way RB Darren McFadden (foot) has been working out "you would never know he got hurt." McFadden suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 7 last season and never returned, but he's already back to full speed in workouts. "The thing about Darren is he didn't have any major surgeries, so he's able to come back here healthy and he's playing at a high level right now and it's offseason," Skipper said. "He's making cuts at full speed, everything. There's no problem with that."
Thu, 03 May 2012 06:51:26 -0700 Oakland Raiders head coach Dennis Allen said he believes RB Darren McFadden can carry the football 25-30 times a game; however, Allen added a team needs a tandem to carry the load. "The running back position in this league, I think you have the ability to use different people. Because those runners take such a pounding on a play-in and play-out basis," Allen said. "Does (McFadden) have the ability to be the lead back? Absolutely and he will be. But we're going to have to find ways to spell him some, too."
