Best run of the week

Absolutely amazing run by Freddy.

 

Is it just me or was McFadden's run not that impressive. He did not "bowl" over Byrd from what I saw. Byrd was so far away all he could do was make a dive for McFadden. It isn't like McFadden ran him square over.

I came away from yesterday's game with a newfound respect for McFadden. I don't watch many Raider games, and this guy is absolutely a stud who excels in both the run and pass game. He's clearly a top 5 RB in the NFL. I think the Bills did a great job against him, all things considered.

 

And yes, Freddy is THE MAN.

It was a nice run, but John Murphy made it sound way better than it was :)

 

 

Interesting. That's what I took from those clips -Murphy is a terrible play by play guy. I know Van was the master, but there just HAS to be better voices in WNY. Murph's OK for your evening Sports hi-lites but he's simply un-listen-able as a play by play type.

I like Murph's voice, and I actually prefer listening to the radio call to watching games, but there is something about his PbP that is unsatisfying, especially on running plays. A good PbP man gives you an accurate sense of whether a runner is breaking free or not based on how he describes a run from the start.... Murph can be blase on long runs and then go into a long description of a player "diving forward" for a yard. I often rely on the sound of the crowd behind him to get an idea of how things are going. But within his limitations, he is not all bad.

I'm not at all taking anything from McFadden. I'm with you after watching him, he is a great back. I just wasn't particularly wowed with his 9 yard run into the end zone where he already had the edge on Byrd.
