It will solidify Taiwan’s status along side Tasker I guess. I wouldn't go that far. I mean admittedly, its by no means a stretch to see Taiwan make the team. As others have pointed out, we are already looking at other changes to ST. But, honestly, that is pretty typical for good rosters, to see turnover on ST as the roster gets harder and harder to make the more talented it gets. I think it mostly means that either the guys they looked at for Gunner during the preseason didn't show well enough on tape, or that ultimately they don't see Brieda as a game day contributor and either cut him or plan to keep him as only an emergency RB. I specifically mention Brieda because I find it HIGHLY unlikely we go into weekly games with 5 active RB's between Devin, Moss, Gilliam, Brieda, and Taiwan (because the only reason to keep Taiwan is to be active on game days for ST). So honestly, Taiwan's future here IMHO almost solely depends on the role they see for Brieda, if at all. And given how many times both McD and Beane spoke about adding more speed at RB this offseason, I think they are serious about that given how serious they apparently were also about potentially taking a RB early in the draft. So if they keep Brieda, I think its because they intend on him being part of the game plan.

All of this and we still decide to keep Taiwan. That would have to mean something. He means something to ST there’s no doubt about that , As far as Tasker we’re talking potential HOF’er

No, I think it's not out of the realm of possibility that deals have been done where they haven't leaked it to the press quite yet. Especially it were to involve us. 1

If he was just something, given everything we know about this team, we could take a few notches below Taiwans performance and still be ok. Apparently he is a god gunner and must stay on the team at all costs. 1
Alphadawg7 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) I am most interested in the future of following people (despite recent Taiwan dialogue, who I actually dont care that much about...just suggesting he doesnt make it brings out his family defense team lol) Stevenson - We havent kept 7 WRs before, but I would like to see us do it this year as I am intrigued about this guy and like to see him make the team. Wildgoose - I have a sneaky feeling about him being someone who could make the final roster and like his potential. Mostly, McD has always done well at developing DB's too, so would like to see the kid stick. Edited August 31, 2021 by Alphadawg7 1

This is the way debates happen on here, all too often, unfortunately. People argue in support of a certain player, and then some folks start with this straw-man garbage. Does nothing for the debate, and only misrepresents other's opinions on the matter. If that's how you debate a subject, it's hard to take anything you say seriously.

Yeah I liked him too, but I think he is a prime PS squad guy personally. I think Wildgoose would be riskier to get onto the PS vs McCloud. But I would have no problem if McCloud made it either, he showed some promise for sure, albeit against lesser competition. 1
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 10 minutes ago, dave mcbride said: Their kickoff return for a TD was on an onside kick with a minute to go and the game over, and it was by actual starter Micah Hyde who stupidly decided to run it in rather than take a knee. Fitz came out gunslinging (no surprise there) and in the last minute of garbage time marched Miami most of the way down the field over a half dozen plays. The Bills had gotten nicked up in that game, and I was thinking the whole time that another injury might well happen. So I don't count that one as legit. We allowed a kickoff return for a TD from jakeem grant. 1
