Adimchinobe Echemandu ,who is this guy?

Ambi.... Echu.. Umm lets just call him a stud cause that what he is. Adimchinobe Echemandu has been a constant in the Raiders training camp blogs for a while now, but you got to see a player play to get a feel for him, and man was I impressed . This kid was made for this cut blocking scheme spin moves, stiff arms, breaking tackles, hitting the whole with speed. I love this guy. Granted this was the 3rd team defense of the Cardinals so it's a little early to get all twinkle toes on this guy, but still.  With Rhodes out for four games, Jordan gimpy, and Fargas only running style head first and flying through the air. I think this kids got a ton of talent and the ability to start.

I reckon he gets a roster spot ahead of Fargs.

We'll carry 5 or 6 RB/FB's.

Jordan
Rhodes
Bush
Eche

Crockett
Griffith

Fargas and O'Neal wont be there though I guess O'Neal will be on the practice squad.

I think Bush will be put on the DL and not play this year.

if thats the case does Fargas get a repriev.....

[havomatic]

I think so he just needs to stay healthy to do so. With the way he runs I wonder if he'll make through pre-season.

"The Stud" as he is now known by Hav kinda reminded me of Napolean Kaufmann quite a bit.  He had a real eye for hitting holes and technically looked really good.

I say give him a spot for now and play him more for a couple more games to get an idea of how much he wants this position.  Definitely a project back for 2 - 3 years down the line.

60 odd yards on 8 carries for Jordan against the whiners, that was pretty good.
