WTF are people seeing in the Raider's running game? Am I missing something?

Probably because combined McFadden and Bush are better than Charles and Jones.

Mcfadden, Bush, Jones.

They were 2nd last year so I don't see how this surprises you.

What's the big deal...it's been like 26 years since the best rushing team in the NFL has won a Super Bowl.

[DJ's left nut]

I think those results are pretty fair.

Charles is a great player - but does anyone really think he'll average 6 YPC again this season? He'll take a step back this season, it's almost statistically impossible for him not to. And Jones is likely to be even worse this season.

I'd take Charles over McFadden, but I'd take Michael Bush over better than 1/2 the starting RBs in this league. A dual backfield of McFadden and Bush is probably going to be better than KC's this season.

If we want to beat the Raiders this season, it'll have to be with our defense. I'm pretty sure their offense is better than ours.

It's like a preseason college poll. Who gives a shit?

While I agree with most of your post, I don't know about them having a better offense than us. I guess it depends on your view about the Cassel vs. Campbell debate.

I like our recievers and offensive line better. But I do agree that Mcfadden and Bush is a very dynamic backfield.

And Taiwan Jones looks to be an explosive back for the Fade.

I haven't even paid any attention to them this preseason.

Noone has. 1 person said Jones looked good and now everyone is running with it.

I musta been the only guy vouching for him to be a Chief.

A Charles and Taiwan Jones combo would've been sick...

Jones has played in 1 game so far but he did look really good when played

I like the combo of Charles and South Korea Stevenson better.

The 1st string O-line seems to be run blocking OK, but then they've only played against preseason vanilla defenses. And they haven't seen any eliteMo pass-rushers like ConDOM!! :):):)

[DTLB58]

People just don't see Jones as the "new" explosive back type, which they shouldn't, but then they give him little if any credit at all. Maybe if Dex gets more involved in the O this year and makes more of an impact the Chiefs backs could be compared. But The Raiders do have some talent with them 3 McFadden, Bush and Tawain.

Also, you need to realize that any poll taken in today's world whether the questions was asked this way or not it's being answered from a fantasy perspective. It's just the reality of the majority of the fans.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

1998, 1999 Denver Broncos of which violated the salary cap during their Super Bowl wins.

Oh yeah I forgot.

What people don't see Taiwan as explosive? Who is giving him no credit at all? I search around, but can't find who you are talking about. Gotta link?

Very well put - especially the short yardage part.

The faiders don't have the dazzle like we do

[KCrockaholic]

Whatever. Jamaal Charles averages 6 YPC. That's all I care about.

[Ugly Duck]

Wrong Jones


Oh. Sorry. This might happen again, I reckon. And we both have DMCs as well.

And shitty quarterbacks. Jeez, our teams are so similar.

Yeah... but we top the league in rushing!
