H2o Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I know Jordan hasn't been the most durable guy and didn't really earn his paycheck with the Raiders, but he did show alot of promise with the Jets about 3 or 4 years ago. The guy is 30, but is another weapon for their team. He will spell Maroney and be the "power guy" as opposed to Maroney with his running style. It will probably also help to keep Maroney healthy. It figures they'd pick the guy up that quick.

Tim Anderson's Lunch Pail Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 He's actually a very similar back to Maroney. Basically the same size. Both physical. He'll help out a little here and there, but I wouldn't characterize him as a weapon.

He'll help out a little here and there, but I wouldn't characterize him as a weapon. eh I wouldn't consider Maroney a physical back. Granted occasionaly for the most part he can take some contact, but he's not physical in the same vein that say his former college teammate Marion Barber is, or how Marshawn Lynch is. Maroney tends to curl up at the sight of contact, it's why he's not an everydown #1 back. I haven't seen much of Jordan since his jets days, and very little of his stint with oakland. He's capable of being that straight ahead runner, but he's also a very good receiving back. Depending on how bad his back injury was, and how he has recovered, they'll be an alright tandem.
JuanGuzman Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 A nice signing for them though, I think Jordan can play.

drnykterstein Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Inkman knows whats up. None of you others do.
silvermike Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 ...cut...by...the...Raiders. He's going to have to make the team in New England before I worry about him. He'd have to beat out Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk, both of whom have had success with the team in the past.
Turn Down For Watkins Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Lamont Jordan's carreer went down the drain when he signed with the Oakland Raiderrrrrs.
