The Stoner Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 What do the experts here at The Huddle project for old Monty. Is he a feature back? I'm scoping him out as a possible 2nd or 3rd round pick. I say 1300 and 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 yes, he is definitely on ALOT of Radars...he's going in the late Second early third in the mocks I've seen and done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spain Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I think 1300 yards and 10-12 td's is very good estimate of his production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherDave Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 He will get his chances in Norv's system, and I have him as a solid #2 behind my #1 RB. This season has many "new faces in new places theme"-it should be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 1350 rush, 275 rec, 9 TD's. Even if Oakland is behind, they will run the ball to keep (as best they can) the double teams off Moss and Porter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomfin2000 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 1095/7, 175/1 in 14 games. 893109[/snapback] Â This looks about right to me, but only because of the situation he's in. Career backups always look great until they become a full time starter. Once that happens, it usually becomes obvious why they were career backups.

I'm scoping him out as a possible 2nd or 3rd round pick. I say 1300 and 10. 892958[/snapback]      believe it or not, I picked Jordan up as late as the 5th round...I couldn't believe it...with more knowledgeable owners...I missed Jordan by not grabbing him at the end of round 2.  another back, Julius Jones, has moved up in drafts from second round and early 3rd round to late first and early second round. EJ and Ahman have slid further and further of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsbennett Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 do you guys see him performing better than any or all of the rookie RBs???? 893107[/snapback]      not that I'm an expert, but I think with the WR's and Norv Turner's penchant for making RB's into HOF candidates.......I'd only like Brown's and JJ Airington's chances of keeping up with Jordan, but I wouldn't take either of them in a draft before Jordan. Brown is going to lose some carries to Ricky, eventually, so I'd lean to JJ Airington first..even before Cadillac.   Regardless, I take Jordan over any rookies..hands down.

darin3 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Whoa. 1,300? 1,400??? He'll be lucky to crack 1,000. He's their "feature back", but the Raidahs are gonna throw a TON... and they have Fargas and Zereoue for "changes of pace". I'd say 900 yards and 10 TDs in 14 games (he'll get a minor injury halfway through the season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubfoothead Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 900 and 10 TDs and 1100 and 8 TDs are the worse he's projected at in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for throwing a ton, Turner likes to throw deep and pound the ball. You don't pay a guy what they're paying Jordan and not feed him the ball.

I think people see those numbers as a real possibility but most are smart enough to temper their excitement enough to draft some of the more proven guys ahead of him.

MikesVikes Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 (edited) I love taking chances on RBs in new situations and opportunities. I didn't hesitate to draft Deuce McAllister after the smoke cleared in New Orleans. That worked out well enough to try that again. I just don't see a successful team in Oakland this year. 1400/14 backs tend to come from solid teams. I don't see Oakland as being a solid team this year.
