JONES-DREW'S HOMECOMING: Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew, born in Oakland and raised in San Francisco's East Bay, hasn't had much success as an NFL player back home 鈥?or in his home time zone. He is 0-4 in West Coast games with a total of 41 carries for 146 yards and no TDs at Oakland, San Francisco,Cheap Bears Jerseys China, San Diego and Seattle. Last season at Oakland, he injured his left foot on the first play of a 26-23 overtime loss. "I'm not talking to any of my family until after the game. How about that?" he joked.
MISSING MCFADDEN: The Raiders have depended on Darren McFadden the past few seasons and are hoping he returns to form soon, especially with Raiders coach Dennis Allen scrapping his preferred zone-blocking scheme for a straight-ahead, power-gap scheme after McFadden averaged a career-low 3.3 yards per carry last season. Oakland is 10-2 when McFadden rushes for at least 100 yards. He had 17 carries for just 48 yards and a TD in the season opener. |
