124 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 JORDAN HEADS BACK TO THE AFC WEST Posted by Mike Florio on March 4, 2009, 12:14 p.m. Running back LaMont Jordan has ping-ponged between the AFC East and the AFC West in his eight-year career. Drafted by the Jets, he signed with the Raiders after his rookie contract expired. Cut by the Raiders, he headed to the Patriots. And now that his contract with New England has expired, Jordan has signed up with the Broncos, according to Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com. The connection is obvious. New Broncos coach Josh McDaniels was the offensive coordinator in New England, during Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Why the Jets ever gave a scrub like Curtis Martin the ball when they had the great Lamont Jordan waiting in the wings I will never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in his defense any time he did get the ball he was busting them for 6 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll & Sperm wanted to take LaMont out back for a little two on one tackling drill, why I'll never know. Curtis Martin is the man and LaMont still couldn't hold Curtis' jock.

124 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well in his defense any time he did get the ball he was busting them for 6 yards. In the 4th quarter... After Curtis carried the ball 20-30 times wearing down the defense... Yep, real hard to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uart Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 He was great as a backup to Curtis Martin, but his career fizzled when he was expected to carry the load for the Raiders. MAYBE he can get back to credibility in Denver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 In related news, insiders report that the Broncos are close to working out a deal with the New England Patriots for recently signed running back Fred Taylor. Sources also indicate that Denver intends to draft running back Knowshon Moreno if he is available before they trade up to draft running back Chris "Beanie Wells" later in the round. According to the insider, the team is also showing "serious interest" in drafting running backs LeSean McCoy and Javon Ringer in later rounds. The Broncos do not anticipate drafting any running backs on day 2 of the NFL draft but may change their minds if the trade sending Jay Cutler to Buffalo in exchange for running back Fred "Action" Jackson falls through.

Thai Jet Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Injury proned, fumbling machines indeed. Jordan's deal is reportedly 2 years, $2.5 million. At least this gives him a shot to pay back Al Davis perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Injury proned, fumbling machines indeed. Jordan's deal is reportedly 2 years, $2.5 million. Curtis fumbled away our only season in memory as SB favorites. Maybe if the Jets' then-top-rated rush defense could stop Jordan in week 2 we could have come back. He was like the only RB through week 11 that we didn't stuff down after down. I remember your face after the game pretty well. He can't stay healthy, and he isn't a Jet anymore, so eff-him.

The Troll Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Troll & Sperm wanted to take LaMont out back for a little two on one tackling drill, why I'll never know. Curtis Martin is the man and LaMont still couldn't hold Curtis' jock. Curtis Martin never had a 1,000 yard season after LaMont left. LaMont went to the Raiders in '05 and did great. He had no help on that team. The fact is, we were right. After 2004, Curtis Martin should have been the running back to go, not LaMont Jordan.

GFJET33 Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 how many freakin RBs does this team need!?? seriously how do they plan on splitting carries between 4-5 RBs, and peyton hillis was pretty decent last year, that FO is clueless, they need to focus on their WRs with brandon marshall just bound to be ostracized from the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
