I don't agree, we didn't see enough of him last year to see what he can really do IMO. But I do hope you keep repeating this talking point because it may help me pick him up on the cheap from those who buy that meme.
You take the bandwagon in for regular maintenance? It might look good in the lot, but there's a lot of available wagons out there as it is. I'll check around and get back with you.With the lack of picks in the draft and Oakland working to get out of cap jail...and Michael Bush officially an ex-Raider...it appears Taiwan will have a much larger role in 2012.What say you?Marcel Reese will definitely be involved though...
Are you shhhh-ing Reece? Because I'm on board. I like his combo of size, speed and reciving skills.'Ron_Mexico said:

mac 6'2 210Taiwan 6'0 195Chris Johnson 6'0 195Jamaal Charles 6'0 200I don't think the differences are as stark as you might think.
Unless he became Wolverine with super healing and got adamantium infused in his bones, I'd temper expectations..Love watching DMC play, but the dude's made of glass
Yes I did.Raise your hands fellas...who else knew immediately what adamantium was?

Child,please! Give me Vibranium any day because we all know that in the Guardians of the Galaxy series (V2), that somewhere along the way, Wolverine DID have at least one of his claws broken off. On the other hand, Captain America's shield was recovered intact. I mean *snort snort* *pushes up glasses* Doesn't that say it all guys? I mean even in the iconic Avengers #215-216, The Molecule man says, himself, that of the matter that makes up thor's hammer, Silver Surfer's board, Iron man's aromor, and the shield, that the shield had the weirdest makeup of all./nuff said!Raise your hands fellas...who else knew immediately what adamantium was?

Big Bang Theory Rules!!!!
Except 25 pounds heavier than McCluster.
Some guys can make it at that size, others just can't run between the tackles or withstand the punishment. The jury remains out on Taiwan.Food for thought

Lonyae Miller is an intruiging pickup by the Raiders. He joined the Raiders after new GM Reggie McKenzie came on board. So he's clearly one of Reggie's guys and not a holdover from Hue Jackson. He has the body frame and style that is probably the best match to replace a Michael Bush. He had some success in college with several breakaway runs and looks like a bruiser. I don't know much really about him as of yet, but I think he'll have a real shot at making the team, given who is on the roster as of today.
TJones may be listed at 195... Thats probably soaking wet in his uniform with full gear on.. maybe..Jones is well worth a roster spot.. From what I recall.. I have seen him step into a LB on a full speed rush and get lit up.. that showed some heart.. I forget the specific game.. but remember thinking he is trying to learn the blitz pickups and thats more than what others would do.. Interesting to see what happens this year and what if anything that he did in the wieght room this offseason..Food for thought
If Al was still alive and running the show i think Jacobs would already be signed........its good to see the raiders waiting
You know, I posted that as a way to support Taiwan but now that I see it on your reply, it becomes obvuious that the only one of these guys at this height/weight range and with this speed that DOES stay healthy is Chris Johnson. so, instead of a good thing for taiwan, maybe it is actually and indicment on him and DMAC. The value is there. YOu have to handcuff DMAC. BUt maybe it a situation where you better have them all or none.Some guys can make it at that size, others just can't run between the tackles or withstand the punishment.

After injuries to DeAngelo and Stewart in 2010, the Panthers had no one else to turn to but Mike Goodson who racked up 100+ yard games vs TB (4.35 ypc) and BAL (5.45 ypc). Someone to keep an eye on.
Yep. Goodson is the guy to own here.
I wouldn't put my eggs solely in Goodson's or Taiwan's basket. I think you think DMC is going down, that smart play would be to stash both Goodson and Taiwan.
Goodson was brought in because he adds depth at the RB and his special teams play. If DMC were to get hurt, I believe you are right that they would use equal amounts of both Goodson and Taiwan.
Bump due to Oak not taking any RB's in the draft or UDFA thus far. Either Taiwan or Goodson may be valuable this year.
HAs to, without a doubt. Having few draft picks, it was a given, short of Oakland bringing in a Benson or Addai. I honestly don't know how a DMAC owner DOESN'T have Taiwan (and probably Goodson) on his team as a handcuff. The history suggests DMAC is not the most durable guy in the world and with him it seems like an ankle sprain can keep this guy shelved for three weeks.
How can the opportunity NOT be there. Has DMAC ever played 8 games in a row without being hurt for multiple games?I would agree that he won't have an opportunity to be one of these guys that comes in when DMAC is hurt and then he just takes the job or whatnot, but the history has shown that DMAC does miss games and he tends to miss them in bunches. I certainly wouldn't rule out a chance that, at some point, you find Taiwan being productive for a 3-4 game stretch and if that stretch is at an important time of the year, then that is value.'Eminence said:
That's what I was presuming. Who knows. Jones is lightning quick though. When they acquired Goodson I assumed Jones would be the #3, but apparently not.
Yeah i thought the same thing and almost dropped from my fantasy roster. He seems a fit in the system and i also agree with reese comment. I was just really surprised by how much work he got in the game.
Jacobs is not a AD type of guy.
