Oakland Raiders Lost Darren McFadden for Four Weeks

The Oakland Raiders have struggled with losses and blows in recent years until now have the longest losing streak of 100 games in franchise history with 25 wins over 75 painful defeats. The team has built up its second week in a row without scoring a touchdown 29.3 after the defeat against the Houston Texans last Sunday and now it is announced that Darren McFadden will lose up to four weeks of play this season.

The team has enough trust in his offensive line so far, yet his star running back has not produced the expected results, including last Sunday totaled negative numbers (-3 yards on 6 carries) without mentioning that he has only managed to score a touchdown in four games as a starter.

"It's truly amazing," said Zach Miller, tight end for the Oakland Raiders. "The rushing game was always a great feature of our team. We need to offer protection to our line, we need to run the ball. We could not do the job well and that affects us greatly. "

The Raiders now cope not only the problem of McFadden, it is equally clear that their starting quarterback, JaMarcus Russell, has failed to meet expectations that characterized last season. In four games of the 2009 campaign only 506 total yards for a touchdown alone, making it one of the least effective quarterbacks this year.
