2B – Daily News – Wednesday, August 11, 2010 McFadden among Raiders to miss preseason opener Oakland Raiders NAPA (AP) — After spending his first two NFL seasons dealing with injuries to his toes, shoulder and knee, Darren McFadden was looking for a healthy start to the 2010 campaign. Instead, he will have to sit and watch when the Oakland Raiders take the field for the first time in Thursday night’s exhibition game at Dallas because of a tight left ham- string. ‘‘It’s very frustrating,’’ McFadden said Tuesday. ‘‘I feel like I’ve been having a good camp. It happened. It’s just something you have to deal with right now.’’ McFadden hurt his hamstring in practice Saturday morning when he tried to acceler- ate after slowing down. He immediately felt tightness so he pulled up to make sure the injury didn’t get any worse. McFadden said he wants to make sure he waits until the hamstring is completely healed before returning to the field so he doesn’t have to deal with this throughout the entire season. ‘‘It’s one of those things, you don’t want to be out there on it, make it any worse than what it is,’’ he said. ‘‘You want to make sure it’s all the way healthy before you do because it’s a hamstring, something that can nag you for a whole year.’’ McFadden and Michael Bush are expected to share the bulk of the running duties this season so Bush will likely play most of the first quarter with the first-team offense in Dallas.

Afterward, he and 49ers quarterback Alex Smith stayed on the field to do more work and find their timing. Baas is determined to win the starting job at center for San Francisco to replace the injured Eric Heitmann — and Baas sure seems to be the front-runner after getting all the repetitions with the first team Tues- day morning. Heitmann broke his left leg Monday and is expected to miss up to two months, a big blow for a unit that is deter- SWIM (Continued from page 1B) Laura Schreter placed second in the 13-14 girls division. She won the 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle, was second in the 500 freestyle and third in the 50 freestyle. Another overall second place finish was had by Cur- tis Twitchell, who won the 50 freestyle and was second in the 500 freestyle, 100 freestyle, 100 backstroke, 200 freestyle and 100 breast and was third in the 200 indi- vidual medley. A disqualification in the 25 breast was all that held Sophie Fletcher back from winning the 8-and-under girls trophy. Instead she set- tled for second place overall and won the 25 butterfly and 50 freestyle. She placed sec- ond in the 25 backstroke, 25 freestyle and 100 freestyle.

It’s not a done deal,’’ Baas said Tuesday of being the new center. ‘‘I have to be very confident. I put two balls on the ground today.’’ The Niners’ new-look offensive line, featuring rookie first-round picks Anthony Davis and Mike Iupati, will get its first real test in an exhibition opener Sunday at Indi- anapolis. Baas lined up at center just once in his first five NFL seasons, and not since Dec. 31, 2006, at Denver. That after being a regular in the spot as a senior at Michigan in 2004. ‘‘You’ve got to be versatile in this league,’’ Iupati said. ‘‘There are a lot of people here who can play a lot of posi- Mayson Trujillo, 14, also picked up an overall fourth place and was second in the 100 butterfly.

McFadden has been plagued by injuries ever since the Raiders drafted him fourth overall in 2008. McFadden injured his right big toe in his second career game, hurting himself at the end of a 50-yard run at Kansas City. After returning from that injury, McFadden hurt a toe on the other foot and also dealt with a shoulder injury for much of his rookie season. Last season, McFadden missed a month with a knee injury in the first half of the sea- son and never found his form. He ran for 357 yards in 12 games, averaging only 3.4 yards per carry and scoring just one touch- down. He has rushed for just 856 yards in 25 career games with a 3.9 yard-per-carry aver- age as he has failed to develop into the big- tions.’’ Interestingly, Baas earned his first start as a rookie on Dec. 4, 2005, against Ari- zona to replace Heitmann at right guard. Heitmann had been moved to center to take over for the injured Jeremy Newberry. Baas started the final five games that year. Baas’ transition to leading the line and calling the signals up front has to happen in a hurry. Offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye ideally would like to have a starter in place by the third exhibition game. ‘‘I know it has to be quite quick,’’ Baas said. ‘‘We’ve got to be on the same page. If the offensive line can’t work together, the offense can’t work together.’’ Raye realizes he has a daunting task of preparing a line featuring a new center and • Brannon March, 12, fin- ished in ninth place in the 100 individual medley. • Sosie O’Sullivan, 12, improved in all eight events, with her best showing in the 100 individual medley. • Zoe Casey, 10, improved six times with a strong performance in the 100 individual medley. • Abby O’Sullivan, 11, improved six times with a strong showing in the 100 individual medley. • Isaac Jackson, 10, improved three times and also excelled in the 100 indi- vidual medley. • Fallyn Gallagher, 9, had her best showing in the 50 butterfly. • Colby March, 9, had his best showing in the 50 but- terfly. • Mikaela Weber, 11, was 18th in the 100 individual medley. • Kyle Wood, 11, was 20th in the 500 freestyle. • Kelcy Tils, 9, had her SOFTBALL Red Bluff Rec League Aug. 9 — National DRT Livestock 5, RB Sporting Goods 4 Shannon Grissom 2-3, HR, 2B, 2RBI Bob Nuell 2-3, 2 RBI Young Guns 22, DR 4x4 1 John Sidwell 4-5, 3 HR, 2B, 10 RBI Mike Parish 4-4, 2B Aug.9 — Co-Ed 3 Crown Nursery 10, Eubanks Const. 9 Ramrods 20, Vineyard 5 RBGas 13, Munoz 0 Aug.5 — Co-Ed 2 Palomino Room 3, Mac’s Diving 1 St. E’s 15, Cornerstone Comm.Bank 13 UI Ranch 7, Tehama Angus Ranch 3 Aug.4 — Co-Ed 1 Luigis Brewers 7, Rub A Dub 0 Marco’s Pizza 3, Pritchard Logging 0 Rob Douglas Const 6, Marco’s Pizza 1 A’s play back he was in college at Arkansas. He has only one run of at least 20 yards since the second game of his rookie year. McFadden is hoping for bigger success this season under new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, who has diversified the run- ning game. ‘‘He put a lot of different things in, a lot of different runs,’’ McFadden said. ‘‘The last couple years we mostly ran outside zone, inside zone. He’s added a lot of downhill runs and things for us. It’s something that we’re looking forward to.’’ The Raiders also are expected to be without receivers Chaz Schilens (left foot), Jacoby Ford (quadriceps) and Paul Hubbard (hamstring), quarterbacks Bruce Gradkows- ki (groin) and Charlie Frye (right wrist), fullback Luke Lawton (concussion), and defensive end Jay Richardson (knee). 49ers fill-in center David Baas working to find a rhythm a pair of talented, yet raw, rookies. A year ago, Raye spent much of his first year as San Francisco’s top offensive coach shuffling the offensive line. But Heitmann was a steady presence during that time. At least the current situation doesn’t come in the middle of the season with ‘‘the game- week pressure,’’ Raye said. ‘‘Huge,’’ Raye said of his task now. ‘‘The center in our system of football is basically the backup quarterback. You don’t really think about losing your center. It’s a unique deal. ...
