hno: Dislike. :thumbdown: I remember reading a tweet last week that TJ got lit up in one of the practices, something about "Welcome to the NFL rookie." Sucks to hear. I have no doubt that when healthy he can around and past NFL defenses, but the problem is obviously staying healthy.

Looks like TJ was back at practice today, not sure if he has been at practice since injury. From what I read, he was injured on 1st day and has been out since, not sure if this is true or not. Hopefully he will be on the field this saturday as I think he can put up some big time numbers in these pre season games.

Quote below from Raider head coach, here's the link. Raiders play New Orleans Sunday night, short week as they are in Seattle Friday night. Hope it works out for a lot of Eagle fans to attend and root for #36.

Q: Taiwan Jones got a swing pass and shot down the sideline and you seemed to be watching that, what did you think of his speed on that play?
Coach Jackson: Oh my gosh, can he run. I mean, he can go and I am very excited. We have a lot of skill. We have guys that can do a lot of different things and it is my job along with Al Saunders and our offensive coaching staff just to create something for these guys where they all can showcase their talent and abilities and I think we are getting closer. I am going to be excited to watch him playing the game because he is a lot tougher than what people think he is. I think he has some extreme talent, but again that is out here on the practice field and he needs to do it in a game.
Q: What ways is he different than let’s say [Darren] McFadden or [Michael] Bush? Is he any different?
Coach Jackson: He is fast man. Gosh can this guy run. He is extremely fast. He is very nimble and he is very smooth and I don’t think sometimes knows he is running that fast. For a guy that is built like he is, he is very physical. There is a lot of velocity behind the man when he runs into a pile and I have been excited to watch him out here in practice and we are going to make sure that we crank him up this weekend and let him run.

Awesome. It sucks I'm going to be working, but at least there are TVs on where I work so I'll get to take in bits and pieces of it.
Taiwan had a great catch and run of about 30 yards or so but again negated by a penalty. Jesus the Raiders are hard to watch. hno:
One things for certain - when he gets in space he can make plays just like he did in college. On both of those plays he looked very fast.

TJ scores his first NFL TD! A 22-yard run off-tackle! I think he's up to around 60+ yards now, with most of those in the second half. Stats would be better if he hadn't had those two plays wiped out by penalties.
And EWU got a plug on Sunday Night Football, which is always good. :thumb:
