Darren McFadden Vs. Michael Bush

I meant for passing initially, but yeah, audibles as well now that I think about it more.

Now I’m sick of him.

Bush takes him self out of games. McFadden wants the ball and could lineup anywhere on the offense. Not saying Bush is bad just saying McFadden hasn’t had alot to work with.

1st play: runs on the outside. good blocking, open field.

2nd play: Showed some maroney vision, where he saw a big hole in the middle, and went for it. that’s good and all, but I notice his hips were sort of stiff, and the hole was pretty big. And great blocking.

3rd play: Good. He showed vision to change direction. but hips are STILL STIFF.

4th play: Pitch play. how he’s supposed to be used.

5th play: Good. He just ran through. looked like good blocking, but it appears he out ran the defender who was at the line. A sloppy juke after. at least he went through the hole.

6th play: screen pass. what he should be used for as well. Stiff hips, but he didn’t need to use quickness there, just speed. which is what a SCREEN allows him to do.

7th play: God. He ran in between the tackles with confidence and determination.

8th play: Pitch play, how he should be used. but shown the stiff hips which results in the sloppy juking.

9th Play: Screen pass.

10th play: Screen pass.

11th play: And pitch. he ran through the tackles well, with great vision. very nice.

But in terms of consistency? Bush is more consistent. He grinds out as much yards as possible. This is all I could really find: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL5CBGEzbpk&feature=related

but even IF WE DID run the wildcat, it’s likely bush won’t be in there in the first place, but on normal running plays, bush should be doing those.

And When Bush gets hert or takes himself out we can put ford in right? Cause thats what a playoff team would do. My money is on DMac coming out in preseason recking defenses and the announcers saying"This guy is good they have to find a way to keep him on the field". Like they always do.

so I am not for trading DMC. I think Bush should start and do the bulk of the pounding, while DMC should get the bulk of outside runs, screens, etc., although as the game wears on we can use his fresher legs against the D. But this is no longer a 1 back League, and yer asking for trouble with only 1 starter and an old guy (Rock Cartwright) to back him up. As we have seen, this is no longer a 1 QB League either. Overall from what I have seen over the last couple of years Bush is just a better back right now. i don’t care cow much we’ve paid DMC, you don’t start a guy because of his paycheck, you start him because he is the better player, period. Now having said all that, we may find that with a different O Line and a different QB, not to mention moore seasoning for our WRs, both our backs may end up doing much better this year, and I sincerely hope that is the case. But let’s play it out first and see what happens.

and send Barnes along too. Or, give them Henderson and Barnes for Gaither.
