The Oakland Raiders had a top flight rushing attack in 2007. The addition of Darren McFadden will likely turn that rushing attack into a lethal force. Justin Fargas won the Commitment to Excellence award for rushing for over 1000 yards despite only starting seven games. The soon to be departed LaMont Jordan and the now departed Dominic Rhodes both chipped in 100 yard games. Tom Cable gets the credit for turning the offensive line around, but one name that had as much to do with the success of the running game as anyone else is Oren O'Neal.

So often when the Oakland Raiders, Al Davis, and drafting are mentioned in the same conversation, other words such as speed, athlete, and workout seem to follow. Another word that ends up becoming part of the conversation is, "Marinovich."
