Dennis Allen Says Raiders RB Darren McFadden Will Get Even More Work

Found August 14, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Darren McFadden
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders,  Dallas Cowboys
12
Raiders running back Darren McFadden allayed any concerns about his long layoff within a three-play span, yet that didn’t earn him time off in the remaining exhibition games. In those three plays Monday night, McFadden netted 4 yards on a run, 18 on a catch-and-run play in which he lined up as a wide receiver and 16 on a burst around the left side. This came in his first game since a severe foot injury last October. McFadden missed the final nine games last season as a result of the injury to his right foot. Despite McFadden’s impressive showing against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, coach Dennis Allen said McFadden still needs even more work in game settings between now and the regular-season opener Sept. 11. “Darren needs to get his touches so that he goes into the regular season ready to go,” Allen said in a conference call, “and that’s the most important thing for him is to make sure he’s fully ready to roll when the opening game comes off on Monday night.”

What To Expect From Terrelle Pryor

Terrelle Pryor was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2011 supplemental draft. It was the late Al Davis’ last draft pick for a franchise that he ran for half a century.

Raiders' McFadden sharp in return

Via AP on Fox  |  August 13, 2012
Darren McFadden needed one series to show he's in midseason form for Oakland following a foot injury that cut his last season short. Most of the rest of the first-team offensive players for the Raiders and Dallas Cowboys need plenty of work to get back to that level. McFadden picked up where he left off last season by gaining 38 yards on Oakland's first three plays of the...

Raiders back at it with brutal rookie hazing haircuts (Pictures)

If you’re an NFL rookie who thinks you have it bad, just be thankful you don’t play in Oakland. We don’t really know if their rookies actually get the worst haircuts or if they simply do a great job of publicizing it, but any rookie who plays for the Raiders might as well completely shave their own head before training camp begins. Otherwise, there’s no guarantee you won’t...

Raiders drop first pre-season game to Dallas 0-3

Via Thoughts from the Dark Side  |  August 13, 2012
Inconsistency was the word of the game for the Raiders who were shut out at home in their 2012 preseason opener versus the Dallas Cowboys. The starting offense only played a few series and moved the ball well but some miscues between QB Carson Palmer and WR Jacoby Ford kept them from capitalizing on Darren McFadden's hard running. In the first drive, the Raiders moved down...
