Who Dat? Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Per FOXs pregame show, they just said McFadden is not playing today. I can't find anything to confirm this report but would love to have Jennings get all the carries today versus Dallas. Anyone else hear anything?

darin3 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Ooh, the classic FOX vs. ESPN... From Rotoworld: According to ESPN, Darren McFadden (hamstring) will play in Thursday's game against the Cowboys. McFadden and the Raiders believe he's at or near 100 percent. The man who has missed 17 of Oakland's last 36 games will come off the bench behind Rashad Jennings in some kind of change-of-pace role. Jennings has led the entire NFL in yards from scrimmage over the last four weeks and is Patrick Daugherty's No. 14 running back this week. McFadden is ranked 37th.

Are you sure you didn't "mis-hear" it? Every bit of research I've done (including reading what's on FOX's websites) says he's playing.

Who Dat? Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 All the research I've done confirmed he is playing as well, but in big, bold letters it said, "Darren McFadden Will Not Play." Granted, I wasn't paying complete attention to it and only caught it right at the end, but it was written across the screen and was brought to my attention by family as I have Jennings and was just talking about not wanting McFadden to steal carries today.

tazinib1 Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 regardless, even if he does play, it will be as a change of pace back. I think the new regime in Oakland has finally figured out what we have known all along. Toothpick Legs is a bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 You heard incorrectly. They said McFadden would not START the game on Fox Pregame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who Dat? Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Okay, that would make sense. I didn't "hear" anything at all, as the tv was muted. I caught a glimpse of a passing headline and misread the title. Hopefully he will not impact much and take a backseat role here on out.

BeeR Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Why would they play him if healthy? Jennings is oh about 100 times better. Dump that POS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffriders Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I traded DMC after his one really good week for Torrey Smith. Best move I made all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
