Raider Nation: Bush, Jordan, Williams
Plenty of goodies Tuesday from the indispensable Raiders blog with Jerry McDonald.
1. Members within the Raiders believe Michael Bush will ultimately be placed on injured reserve. It sounds like the PUP list to start the year is a near certainty. We wouldn't waste a flier pick on Bush at this point, even in deep leagues.
2. LaMont Jordan had a good day of practice, and appears to be back to full health after missing ten days of work with a back injury. With Bush out and Dominic Rhodes suspended, Jordan knows he has a chance.
"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.
Come back to this hemisphere LaMont. We miss you.
3. Thought this item on Mike Williams summed up where the former Lion well.
"Wide receiver Mike Williams has snagged a first-down reception under tight coverage from Fabian Washington, who was draped all over Williams at the time of the catch. It's been a scene replayed several times during camp. On one hand, Williams has been able to make catches under duress. On the minus side, Williams doesn't often gain the separation you'd want, meaning passes are more at risk to be intercepted."
Williams doing anything positive is a change from his days in Detroit. He's probably going to make the team, which i didn't think was likely a month ago.





Comments
if jordan's adp doesn't go up, he might be the best value of this year's draft.
