saying Cable WANTS to start Fargas is a total lie.he has said and it has been reported many times he wishes Dmac or Bush would step up and take the job,but neither has.

SnB – I would continue with our running backs into next season. I think this team really needs to focus on improving this offensive line, specifically the right side. Thats supposed to be the strong side in running plays and we’re lacking plus the protection at RT needs to be alot better. Unless a legitimate QB enters free agency, its hard to imagine going into next season with different guys unless Al Davis wants to rid himself of Gradkowski in order to make JR comfortable again but I saw something that said Al can cut JR in an uncapped year and he won’t lose as much money but I’ll have to find that.

If Al Davis can actually cut JR without the same financial issues, he might do it but I’m not sure if he’ll draft another QB or not. I have a feeling JR will be the opening day starter next season on a short leash with the possibility that Gradkowski will be called upon much quicker the next time around.

24-i’ve said it before-there must be some reason Bush isn’t used more that we as fans aren’t privy to.maybe he has an attitude problem,maybe he dogs it in practice,maybe he is being given the MA treatment for refusing to help the team by changing positions last year-who knows,but there has to be something.
=======================================================
Just start Fargas full-time then

But this partialling out of carries is not working.

And you DON’T NEED 3 BACKS…that’s a bunch of bull

Start Fargas…because that’s who Cable wants to start and cut DMAC and trade Bush while he has value.

great RBs are also good to great blockers.it is as important as running the ball.100s of guys can just run,it’s the intangibles that make them good just like there is more to playing QB than just throwing the ball.

Lefty12 – I agree…theres something but that something couldn’t possibly be enough to keep the best back off the field ya know what I mean? Its probably his attitude but let that guy use that attitude on the field. Maybe if hes tired from all the running, he’ll quiet down haha.

i’m glad you see all the practices so you know who the ‘best’ players are.is your last name Hanson?
======================================================\
Those same practices that led Russell to be the starting QB?

How hard are those practices? Russell shows up overweight, slothfull, missing practices/OTAs and missing throws and he starts.

I see enough on game days to make a reasoned opinion

And DMAC and Bush, for whatever reason, aren’t good enough for Cable to start in the NFL.

I think we might have to draft a running back.

Let’s put aside our favorites and just go out here and get REAL, UNCOMPROMISING, STARTING CALIBER PLAYERS.

the Raiders are filled up with a bunch of role players masquerading as starters.

Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Michael Turner, Cedric Benson and Ray Rice..those are starting running backs…Thomas Jones and those types

Fargas, Bush and DMAC are role players at best

Another thing that hurts the running game is the offensive line injuries. Mario Henderson has been good and is steadily improving. Gallery has been dominant as a run blocker and his injuries have hurt us terribly. Satele has gotten better throughout the season and Morris has improved as well. Carlisle is decent and our RT position has been better with Green manning the position strangely but its obvious our offensive line is filled with average guys and we just need more talent and depth to carry us but considering those factors, I think this average group has played beyond expectations. They’ve had some solid games.
