Raiders expected to move to power gap scheme
Darren McFadden - RB - Oakland Raiders
Feb. 14, 2013 - 8:15 PM ET

Raiders OC Greg Olson strongly indicated Wednesday that he will be implementing a power-running offense in 2013.

"A year ago, they weren't sure about that zone scheme," said Olson, referring to fired OC Greg Knapp's system. "After a year of having to look at it, maybe (Darren McFadden) is a downhill runner. So we'll get back to some of the gap schemes and things he does well." Unfortunately, the Raiders wasted a year of McFadden's career under Knapp. DMC will still be a bounce-back candidate in 2013.
