Oakland Raiders: The pros and cons of running with Darren McFadden

Runningbacks have many responsibilities. They need to follow their blockers on runs, follow routes when asked to be a receiver, make as a good decoy on most plays, and take on defenders when it's necessary for them to block. It's a large job, but what makes a runningback a household name is his ability to run. That's why we're breaking them down by running ability only. We know that there are other assets that a runningback needs to posses, but we'll do an overall grade on that at a later date.
