Writers from former teams weigh in on what Raiders can expect from their newest backs

Among the some 17 new free agents in the building in Oakland, they added two running backs. One a scat back to compete for the change-of-pace back behind Marshawn Lynch, the other to pave the way for Lynch as well as perhaps Martin on the block.

The scat back is Doug Martin, who three seasons ago was an All Pro, but who has averaged just 2.9 yards per carry the past two seasons in Tampa.

For a back who is supposed to still be in his prime to go from such a high to such a low is strange to say the least.
