NIGHT STALKER Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Jordan is frustrated after not dressing for the Raiders in Week 12. The Raiders have to activate Michael Bush or place him on injured reserve today, so Jordan could be granted his wish very soon. Jordan played for Herm Edwards, making the Chiefs a possible destination, although the Raiders probably want to avoid helping their rivals. Jordan, must have a short memory because Herm rarely played him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know baseball always finds ways around that, they say July 31st is the last day, but every august you see some big deals changing hands. Can the Raiders find the same sort of loop-hole and deal LaMont? or do they have to release him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 this guy has proven again & again that he is nowhere the player he thinks he is. He is a cry baby that thinks somethiong is owed to him He's a great player. He's been unlucky in his career: first having Herm as his coach and then with the constant injuries. Though his attitude seems to somewhat lack. He won that SD playoff game for the Jets. Herm was doing the Herm thing, settling for a long FG but Jordan broke the little middle run to the sideline and made it a short kick for Brien. Too bad he didnt get the chance the following week in PIT. Herm sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I remember after Nate Keading missed a 40 yarder, we took the momentum. I think on 2nd down we handed it to Jordan and gained around 25. Everything went right that game. LaMont Jordan was a good player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, its cool. He's gone now and someone else's concern. But to me, of all the miserable things that Herm did as coach of the NYJ, it was his mishandling of Jordan's career that stings most. It hurt Jordan, Martin and the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hurt Jordan, Martin and the Jets. I coudln't agree more. Martin would have never gotten the rushing title that year, but who the **** cares??? We would have had at least 300 more yards on the ground had they been split carries, or at least 60-40 going to Martin. Jordan was hungry for a contract that year, and martin was his same solid self. We finally had a back that could really hit the opponent in the mouth late in the game, yet he road pine. Still pisses me off to no end. I have thought this since that pitt game, had Martin never seen the ball that day, we would have won the game going away. Martin was an awful matchup for a punishing defense like that, however Jordan took the bull by the horns and made them his bitch the entire evening. I generally think Herm is an "okay" coach, but with preformances like that, it makes him look like he belongs no where near a football game above the age of 12.

124 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 LaMont Jordan is an over-rated, injury proned piece of garbage. Sure he can get you some good yardage in the 4th quarter after the starting Running Back wears down the opposing defense, but other then that he is useless. Justin Fargas is now racking up the yards in Oakland. All together now... WHO!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Fargas is now racking up the yards in Oakland. All together now... WHO!? i agree he's no number one, but i can think of at least 15 teams that would like a second running back like LaMont, if only for the 4th quarter. (granted he is too much of a head case to accept that role) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very high draft pick, perhaps higher than Jordan. Fargas has always been extremely fast. I dont see how Fargas' success makes your point.

Bob Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Lamont Jordan was **** with the Jets, he's **** with the Raiders and he'll be **** wherever he lands next. He was supposed to be our "red zone back," the power runner able to punch it in after Curtis got us close. Only, he never did. Then, all that whining about how he should be the starter. **** Lamont Jordan and the horse he rode in on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 and Bob, lets not forget all the RED ZONE FUMBLES when he did get his chance In four seasons with the Jets, Lamont Jordan had four fumbles. They call came in the same season and two of them came in the same game when he was playing with a broken thumb. All what Red Zone fumbles?

Green DNA Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 LaMont Jordan is an over-rated, injury proned piece of garbage. Can I assume that you would not be in favor of him coming back to the Jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Having Curtis and Lamont was great for us, they worked really well as a tandem, probably due to the difference in styles but Jordan is not an every down back. He's a great change of pace back but he's not a good premiere back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 interesting that it is past the trade deadline. I know baseball always finds ways around that, they say July 31st is the last day, but every august you see some big deals changing hands. Can the Raiders find the same sort of loop-hole and deal LaMont? or do they have to release him? in baseball, end of July is the non-waiver trading deadline. so teams can trade just about anyone (a few exceptions, like recently drafted players) august trades the players have to pass through waivers before the trade can be consumated. I dont think footbal is set up this way. only way out is releasing him, which they would do if it didnt harm the salary cap more than next year.
