Re: LaMont Jordan vs Sammy Morris
I don't know. I don't think Morris is nearly as good as a rusher as Jordan. Remember Jordan did have 1,000 yards his first year with the Raiders and with their offense in 2005, that is a miracle. He also had 159 yards rushing against Denver and 121 yards and a TD against Cleveland last year before getting injured.
Morris isn't as good of a receiver as Faulk, but they play different roles in the receiving game. Faulk is much more a YAC guy with short routes like screens where as Jordan is more of an intermediate route guy.
I think both will be kept. Morris is important as a backup to Maroney and Jordon was a steal. I don't think he is quite as good as Morris as a runner and not quite as good as Faulk in receiving, but he is close enought to both to be very usefull.
The Morris injury really hurt us last year. No need to cut one of them and possibly be right back in that situation again.
