RB Jordan Knows He Must Step Up

Jerry McDonald, ANG Newspapers - [Full Article]

RB Lamont Jordan knows his two seasons in Oakland after signing a lucrative free agent contract have not met the expectations that most had of him. "There's a lot of people questioning whether I'm the guy for the job. And of course at some point pride's going to get in the way, and at some point you're going to want want to make a statement. But it's not something I talk about. Right now the AFC West, I'm clearly the back that's not even in this hemisphere," Jordan said. "When you look at Travis Henry, Larry Johnson and LaDainian, I'm not even mentioned on the same page as those guys. That's something that I would like to change. I have to do my part, the offensive line has to do their part, us as a team, we have to do our part."

igskin:

-- He was drafted in the late first/early second round last year in most FF redrafts after finishing in the top 10 in 2005

-- Dont know how much Oak will improve, but they cant be worse than last year.

-- Dom Rhodes can be had for pretty cheap as well this year. I am very interested in paying for this combo in 2007 based on where these players can be drafted.

-- Oak FF playoffs include a home game against Indy in Week 15.

I am not suggesting you draft Jordan in the first round or anything, but i think the combination of Jordan/Rhodes presents value. Even Jordan by himself IMO.
