before anyone gets crazy about Fargas, McCown is back and I expect Jordan to have a very good game, running and receiving.....
If we were talking about a healthy LaMont Jordan, I would agree with you. But with his sub-par performance last week and Fargas' ypc about 3 yards better against the same team, it's got me questionning how bad Jordan's injury really is. Could it be affecting him enough to not run with the power he is known for. Obviously if both RBs are healthy, Jordan would be the guy shredding this Houston D, but just because Jordan isn't on the injury report, it doesn't mean his back isn't keeping him from running well enough to be useful.
Note to self: If Michael Turner's YPC is better than LT2's, then Turner must be the better option over LT2. Just thinking outloud...
I agree with you ... However a took the OAK RB Rumors hook line and sinker against my better judgement.I picked up Fargas and Bush and I am starting Fargas against Lamont Jordan in one league ... I can see this backfiring in my face big time.
This isn't a question of who is better. It's a question of who the coach is going to use based on who gives them the best opportunity to win. If Jordan's back is keeping him from being effective (which is the topic here) does Fargas, who seemed a lot more effective last week, take over as the primary back this week and even beyond. If LT2 was having trouble with an injury, yeah, we'd be talking about Turner the same way.So, has anyone heard any inside info on the status of Jordan's back and maybe what Kiffin might be thinking regarding who should carry the rock this week?
As a Jordan owner with no other real options this week, I struggled with this as well. I picked up Fargas and am actually considering playing the guy myself. It makes little sense to me that they would really try and get the guy in that much, but anything is possible and "Raiders Insiders" seem to think that is the way it will go.That said, I will probably start Jordan this week. So it will backfire for one of us.
I saw all the players staring the next game. They were staring at the crowd, at each other, and at the opposing team. Some of them even gave mean stares.
What was the QB situation as well? C-PEP runs rather than dump to Lamont...Lamont Jordan's avgs before the byeet...4.7 YPADen...6.4 YPACLE...4.2 YPAMIA...4.9 YPAAfter the bye:SDG...2.3 YPAKAN...2.6 YPATEN...1.3 YPANote: He aggravated the back injury in Miami.Clearly those are significantly easier defenses that he played against earlier, but that drop is pretty significant...To compare this situation to LT2/Turner is pretty ridiculous. Not doubting Lamont's ability but I think the guy is still hurt. I guess we'll see what happens today against Houston.
Culpepper has been playing since Miami. There are probably too many factors to really figure this out right now. Lamont's back, different QB, tougher schedule.What was the QB situation as well? C-PEP runs rather than dump to Lamont...Lamont Jordan's avgs before the bye
