Raiders RB Michael Bush To Be The Top Back In Oakland?

The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Raiders RB Michael Bush could be in line for a breakout year. Justin Fargas is gone, leaving 129 carries to be replaced, and the paper speculates "one has to think it will be Bush." He averaged 4.5 yards per carry last season and has the team's last three 100-yard games, which came over a 17-game span. Darren McFadden remains in the picture, and coach Tom Cable has said McFadden has improved on the tackle-breaking and his penchant for fumbling. Still, Bush should have every opportunity to push McFadden into a third-down role.

makes sense considering hes the best one on the roster

 

I freaking love him give him the rock and let him run

 

Wow i drafted mcfadden lat year in ff had like a -4 his first game, luckily it was a late pick.

 

He should've been starting the last two seasons...lol.

 

so true.

 

told everyone mcfadden was not an NFL back.

 

he is in his 3rd year, will see. im not sure what you mean by NFL back but hes in the NFL playing running back half of the league has a two back system. Thunder and lightning i still think he can carry the ball 20 times a game if Mike bush wouldnt be there im sure that would be the Quota its a luxury to have 2 stud backs.

 

Do you really think McFadden is a stud back?
