Raiders fans are quite familiar with how fundamental the backup running back position could be in the NFL, and especially so when so much of your offense was made around a star for the position.
In Darren McFadden, the Raiders undoubtedly have one of the NFL's best running backs when healthy, but obtaining a complementary back for the dog is imperative. In Latavius Murray, the Raiders sometimes have that very player.
"He runs nice avenues, he's extremely intelligent, so he's obtained the offense really effectively, and he's got truly soft hands so he does a good job not only getting the ball, " Allen proclaimed. "But when you view it, he's done a nice job of getting in pass protection. " (via Contra Costa Times)
What's more, the situation may present itself heading within the following season. Should the Raiders allow Darren McFadden flow over the free-agent market when ever his contract expires, this season's performance will dictate if they are comfortable moving frontward with Murray as their particular primary back.
Of study course, that situation is a ways in the future, but Latavius Murray continues to show the physical ability being a very capable three-down in the NFL.
