Standing on the sideline eats me up

Standing on the sideline and watching my team play has been one of the hardest things for me to do. When you're jus standing there watching it jus eats you up inside. By us going thru hard times on the field right now it just eats you up that much more. Just standing on the sideline and watching when your team is struggling jus makes you want to run to the locker room and dress out. I think by me never being in this type of situation it's hard to deal with, because you want to be out there and you can't. Going thru college, high school and pee wee league never missing a game it's jus very hard to deal with.

  DMac, just how much have the toes set you back? And, is this going to be an ongoing thing, or something that will go away?

  I know you feel like you owe to the fans that you have to rush for over 200 yards a game, based on the high expectations set by Adrian Peterson's great 2007 season, but being hurt and on a transition period for your team shouldn't make you feel ashamed.
  
  Just play relaxed when able to take the field and let your skills take care of the rest.
  Finish the year with a bang, take 2008 as a learning curve, and look forward 2009 to being your year!

  Stay strong DMac. You've got a lot of time to help the Raiders reclaim what's theirs.

  The success of this season rests on 11/23 in Denver. Get back to 100% for that one.
  
  Jim Fassel and Michael Crabtree will help your cause in 2009!

  Keep your head the sun always shines after it rains. Things might not be great in raiderland, but they will get better. When you combine your abilities with your worth ethic it spells future hall of famer. I cant wait to see the day when the offense is ran through you. You are our most explosive weapon. You will get your chance to shine hopefully its this week against the Broncos. I really think that you are more than capable of carrying our offense. I just wish that you didn't get hurt. Everytime I see the dolphins run the wildcat I thnik about you . You ran it quite well in college. I just don't understand why we don't use it. Hopefully I will get to see you run the wildcat this week. I will be watchin hope you can score a couple of touchdowns .

  McFeezie, I need you to get more carries for the rest of the year. I have you on my fantasy team and traded Frank Gore for you in preseason!
  The NFL is better when the Raiders are doing well. A lot more haters will voice out..even more than now. Keep ya head up!

  Darren, you are KILLING me in fantasy bro. You and Felix Jones both (I guess they put something in the Gatorade in Arkansas). Anyway, I have a question. Do you think you will ever live up to your potential? Can you just come out and tell everyone that Russell will never EVER be any good? Yo I traded for you in my franchise in Madden 09 and you are alright. I use you when Westbrook gets tired. You are pretty good and I got you for pretty cheap. If you can do me a favor and work on trucking people then maybe next year you will be nasty with the truck stick. Thats the only move I use. So I might have to cut ya since you take up too much salary and I'll go for someone who is sick on the truck. Let me know bro
