I'm loving our new Rookie RBs! Great combination! Some really good late round gems!

The team played very well today, can't the doom and gloom people at least give the fans here a day to celebrate.
No, they cant let up, that way if the bottom falls out they can say, "I told you so."

taylor and ellington thunder and lightening :)

mendenhall should never see the field again this year!


that 80 yard touchdown brought a tear to my eye and taylor can grind out some tough yards too it seems

we have a bright future in the backfield!

Mendenhall is still a good runner and a hard runner. You can never have to many running backs. They have the shortest span of any position in the NL. I think the average is around 3-4 years.

has there really been that much "doom and gloom" on the board since Sunday? this is as uniformly happy as this place has been in a while.

You guys were right he's REALLY slow in that video, like slow motion.

He kind of got screwed at the end the last kill the clock was like 5 carries for 4 yards or something but I thought Taylor had 2-3 really nice runs and of course Ellington was awesome.

On that Taylor run the best part of that video is Fanaika's slow motion falling down trying to make a block downfield, at least he was downfield.

I like both guys, Taylor is strong enough to get enough carries to keep Ellington from wearing down, and Ellington is so dangerous both running and in the passing game.

There is no denying that Taylor is slow. He's REALLY slow. He may have some power and fall forward but he is a situational runner only IMO. He will never be an every down RB in this league with that speed.

I know some pac 12 homers like him and hope for the best. But I just dont see it.

i know it's slow-mo so everything is magnified to the upteenth degree, but you know what I liked the most about that clip? watching him cover up the ball and secure it when he saw the defense coming. we've watched too many running backs carry the ball willy nilly and if he's gonna be the bruiser, it's nice to see he's cognizant of how to protect the ball.
