Lamont Jordan

CChambers7284 · 06-24-2005, 11:37 AM

People act like he is so great but alotta times backup RBs get good stats because they arent expected to run. he is 27 y/o and will be in Oakland.

Norv Turner ran ricky nearly 400 times, if he runs Jordan that much, he might be dead by seasons end.

Lamont Jordan is a good NFL RB who was stuck behind a HOFer that hardly gets hurt or needs plays off. Tough to show your stuff..

Depends on the RB, but I think Jordan will do alright. He got paid to much money though and he won't be the RB everyone is making him out to be.

I for one, am glad to see Lamont Jordan is gone. He was good. Powerful and quick. I personally don't think Curtis martin has a whole lot in him. He led the NFL in rushing, but he didn't have 1 rushing attempt over 25 yards. Thats telling me he just had a great line last year. And all things are subject to change in the NFL.

Jordan is nothing more than a back up

Have you watched this guy play. He avg. almost 5 a carry, has 72 FD's in 262 carries, 16 TD's (10 rushing, 6 recieving) as a backup to a HOFer. He also returns kicks, and play decent of special teams when asked. He may have gotten more money than he is worth but this guy has more going for him than any other back on the FA market this year. He was a 2nd round pick who also had a good college career at Maryland..

every player eventually gets the chance to start and prove what they're worth. no other backup RB in the league deserves a starting role more than jordan

2004 Game Log Week 8

Jets vs. Dolphins

Lamont Jordan - 14 rushes, 115 yards, 1 Td, 1 catch for 21 yards.

I think he will turn out to be a good starter in Oakland. He could have been a starter on a lot of teams last year, but its hard when you are playing behind the leagues leading rusher.

NorFlaFin · 06-24-2005, 03:11 PM

Well, if Lamont Jorden doesn't work. I'll wish for Saban's phone to ring with a paranoid Al Davis and two high draft picks on the other end.

T.K.O. · 06-24-2005, 03:51 PM

I think Jordan will at least get a 1,000-1200 yards. He will have an advantage in that every team that he faces will not be able to put 8 in the box b/c they will be so worried about the pass. He walked into the perfect situation

You have to remember we had no passing attack for most of the year so D's were just trying to stop Curtis and they still couldn't do it. He will slow down at some point and it could be this year but he was great last year averaging 4.6 YPC and gaining 1,700 yds and i'd expect a YPC a little over 4 and at least 1,300 yds. our pass O should be much better which will limit the wear and tear and we still have a good backup in Blaylock.

Please dont remind me. :cry:

I really think that Jordan will be a really good starting RB for the Raiders. I dont know about him having the whole load because he isnt used to that and it will prob hurt him. For the first couple of games he should split carries, then work his way up from there.

To be fair those were mostly yards gained in garbage time, the game was well in hand as he was putting those #s up.
