Taiwan Jones

Raiders are moving him to CB.

#Raiders some news: McKenzie says Taiwan Jones likely to move from RB to CB. Best fits skill set.

Probably the best way for him to have any longevity in the league, as he doesn't have the beef to withstand the punishment NFL backs take.

 

[Raider]

china doll will be out of the league in the next couple years anyway. shame.

It’s quite the endorsement when guys like Hugh Jackson or Carson Palmer say he is the fastest human they have ever seen on the football field. Unfortunately the reoccurring injuries that Jones has (I.e. hamstring) have little to do with contact.

Successful NFL CBs have a hell of a lot more experience at the position than TJ; I don't give this much chance. One of the best BSC RBs of all time; but NFL CBs are different animals.

Eastern recruited him as a corner and that's what he played in High School and his freshman year at EWU, but it will be interesting to see how it turns out.

He has the speed so it will be interesting to see his cover skills...

More interesting to see his tackling skills and durability.

I always liked the kid so I hope he proves himself worthy

remember that video of him jumping out of the swimming pool. if that was real, it was cool.

I am sure it was real, as I have seen videos of BJ Penn (MMA guy) doing the same thing. By the way, I doubt BJ is as explosive as Taiwan, so it most likely isn't as hard as it looks.

You ever tried doing it? It definitely isn't easy.

Well, I stand 5'10 and jumped 6'0 in the high jump, so I don't think I would have too much of a problem if given a little time to practice. Probably should have qualified by saying, it most likely isn't as hard as it looks for Taiwan.
