    Reece to be highlighted in 2013; may serve as 3rd down back

    Marcel Reece - RB - Raiders
    New OC Greg Olson suggested that Marcel Reece could serve as the third-down back next season.
    Olson plans to highlight and maximize Darren McFadden's strengths, but he might not see third downs as one of those assets. "It's nice...to have somebody who is built like [Reece] is built and is also intelligent enough to be that third-down back who understands the blitz packages that other teams are doing and to have tremendous hands coming out of the backfield," Olson said. McFadden caught 42 balls in just 12 games last year, a rate that could take a slight hit if Reece vultures third-down work.

    I like it. Tough and physical to really grind it out and get those extra yards. Also, a better blocker. I have a feeling Reece is going to be revealed in all sorts of packages this season. We've yet to use him to his full ability.

    Reece is an unbelievable talent IMO. A weapon like that should be keeping defenses honest all game....

    Reece should be featured more as a TE, slot WR, and HB. I mean we don't have that many other weapons on offense... he should be getting tons more touches.
    RAIDERS. ARE. BACK.

    Lining up at FB is the key though, and audible into those positions. I can't think of many FB's ie seen over the years that can play every skill position on offense other then QB. He Hoyle be commanding a spy or shadow all game and making everyone's job easier.

    It's pathetic it took this long to figure that out ! Sometimes I feel like the coaches really suck at playing players to their strengths.

    I think we will be back to a top 10 offense this year.Moving back to a power blocking scheme is great cause that suits McFadden
