Griffith is done for the year.

Torn ACL

Thanks for the TD griff... gonna miss your receiving ability...

We need to see some more 2 back sets now with Bush/McFadden/Fargas.

Something where they are threats to run/catch or in McFadden or Bush's case even pass.

Mike Bush is going to be made a fullback, I fear.

EDIT: Forgot about Luke Lawton. Guess he starts, with, what, Fred Wakefield as his backup?

Griffith done for the year
By Jerry McDonald - NFL Writer
Monday, October 27th, 2008 at 2:10 pm in Oakland Raiders.

Fullback Justin Griffith will need knee surgery and is out for the year, coach Tom Cable announced at the Raiders weekly press conference.

Griffith has a torn ACL, an injury he sustained a couple of plays before before scoring on a 2-yard touchdown pass from JaMarcus Russell, with Cable saying it “gave way” on the touchdown.

With Oren O’Neal already lost for the season, Luke Lawton is the only true fullback on the roster. Michael Bush has the size of a fullback, but was less than thrilled when Lane Kiffin ran him out of that position occasionally during practice.

Cable said moving Bush to fullback may not be an option because of Darren McFadden’s on-going toe problems.

Instead, a new fullback will probably be brought in and trained as soon as possible, Cable said.

More to come later . . .


Marcel Reese anyone?

I laughed, then I cried... It would be better than seeing Wakey lined up at DT again though...


I do prefer the kind of fullback that stones guys like Jon Ritchie did, and how Lorenzo Neal continues to do... Hopefully, Orien O'Neil comes back strong next year....

lawton could help catching passes out of the backfield, but he cant block nearly as good as Griffith, which says alot

if only Moran Norris was still out there...
