Maybe O'Neal will be fully recovered.
rankin went to seattle and ran the ball a few times and fumbled... and isnt that why the raiders never really trusted him with the ball?? fumbling problems??? im not sure if hes still in seattle or not... but last year he barely beat out gary russel for the 4th rb/return job... then russell came back as a fb...

so if we are in need of a 3rd RB id like to see russell get first crack at it... he came back as a fb for us... bush whined wen asked to play fb for us...

BUT if we do actually trade bush (the big talk at the combine for us raiders fans)... i think we should go running back in rounds 1 or 2... becase im not comfortable with mcfadden and gary russell as our top 2 running backs besides free agents...

I wouldn't mind signing Thomas Jones for 2 years. He could split carries with Bush and McFadden if he's ever healthy enough to play could get 10-15 plays a game as a split back option. I'm not comfortable with him getting to many carries because he fumbles to often. Jones still has game so it would be a smart signing and Bush can learn from him.
