MIAMI, FL – Raiders running back Darren McFadden spoke to the media after the Raiders 17-15 defeat at Miami. Here are some of his comments after the game.
On halfback option play that lost yardage:

I held on to it too long.

It was a run pass option and I felt I held on to it too long. 

Health after the game:

I feel pretty good.

Struggling offense:

It’s very frustrating. I take part of it. I feel like, by me taking that loss of yards on the first play, I take part of it.

Losing yards on …

MIAMI, FL – The Miami Dolphins drove into Oakland Raiders territory to start the 4th quarter. Ricky Williams had a 12-yard run, and then Ronnie Brown had carries of 4 and 1 yard. But on the Oakland 34-yard line, on 4th down, the Dolphins decided to punt instead of going for a long field goal, as it was unlikely that the Raiders would drive the length of the field for a score.
Oakland began their first drive of the final quarter at their own 8-yard line. And they were able to …

MIAMI, FL – The Miami Dolphins opened the second half in their ‘wildcat’ formation with runs by Ricky Williams for 2 yards and Ronnie Brown for 5 yards before Chad Pennington lobbed a pass that should’ve been picked off into the hands of Gibril Wilson.
After the Dolphins punted, Oakland came out passing, as JaMarcus Russell hit Tony Stewart for 11 yards to start their possession. Vonnie Holliday sacked Russell for a loss of 6 two plays later and on 3rd and 16, Ronald Curry hauled in a 8 yard …

MIAMI, FL – The Miami Dolphins were driving deep into Oakland Raiders territory, as Chad Pennington connected with Ted Ginn on receptions of 9 and 23 yards on their first drive of the second quarter. Ronnie Brown had a run of 21 yards and it appeared that the Dolphins were ready to hit paydirt once again.

The Raiders blundered through their next …

MIAMI, FL – On the game’s opening drive, the Oakland Raiders in typical fashion looked out of sync, were non-threatening and went three and out. A Cooper Carlisle false start penalty on the first play put them in 1st and 15 hole they could no dig themselves out of.
Then the Miami Dolphins drove 9 plays and 93 yards for a 7-0 lead.
On 3rd and 7, the Raiders were flagged for a neutral zone infraction (Trevor Scott), which made the down a manageable 2-yard. On the ensuing play, Chad Pennington rushed …

So much can change within a year. Unless you’re the Oakland Raiders (2-7), who are mired in awful play once again this season and are looking down the barrel of a sixth straight losing season. The Miami Dolphins (5-4) on the other hand are rebuilding and have direction under new management. And after a one-win season a year ago, the Tony Sparano led Dolphins will look to avenge a 35-17 loss at home to the Silver & Black in 2007.
