Asked McKenzie if Raiders would have fastest player in 40-yard dash. He said not if he can’t play.

The perfect answer!

Running backs are not important in today’s NFL.
Running backs are a dime a dozen and easily found.

Certainly, the passing game is king. Gone are the days where an offense revolved around a dominant, bruising running game.

Never has the importance of having a premier QB and explosive passing attack been more pronounced.

The emphasis on the passing game has made it fashionable to underestimate the importance of having a balanced attack.

It’s still immensely important.

I’ve seen it said that ‘DMAC is a luxury the Raids can’t afford’.

I prefer to think that risking discarding the best all-purpose RB in the NFL is a luxury the Raids can not afford.

Having a healthy DMAC potentially elevates the Raid offense to elite status. He’s that good.

You simply can not give up on a talent like DMAC. He’s the best player the Raids have.

No, his durability issues can not be ignored. But neither can his excellence when healthy.

Rest assured, having a solid ground game and a top notch RB is important, even in today’s pass happy NFL.

Backs like DMAC are anything but a dime a dozen and aren’t easily found.

In fact, I’d go as far as saying that the return of a healthy DMAC is the single most important element necessary to ensure the Raids being an outstanding offensive unit.

Keep DMAC.

DUMP SLOWLANDO.

I think Chekwa might be a better FS prospect than corner. I think DVD has a better shot at one of the starting corner slots. Chekwa should be able to get in front of Gio on the depth chart.

Huff better at FS

Couple of out of whack salaries and a non fit in the 3-4, so it wouldn’t surprise me if 1 or more of those cats aren’t on the roster come March 13th.
