Yep. We've been friends since we were kids. He actually coached with me right after college and then kicked with the Rhein Fire before going to the Raiders.
Nice. Did he like playing in Germany?
I wondered why there was a bit of a time gap on PFR website between graduation date and playing for the Raiders.
After some more summary checking, he was pretty good at SFASU. 3 time All-Southland Conference honors.
My 'Jacks may not be frequently placed in the halls of NFL glory, but a few have some good impact and glory.
Your friend, Arquaz, holds the record of making the most punts in an NFL game with 16! Bet his leg was iced down after that game! :clap:

Maybe one of the recent workouts will be a Practice Squad QB.

Taryn Christion
6-2, 218
4.49 forty
Big Arm

I watched some college game footage of QB Taryn Christion.
  • He didn't look bad.
  • His OLine was terrible.
  • He definitely preferred to pass than run.
  • He had a TE that went to the NFL.
  • Once the TE was gone, it was ugly with passes often bouncing off the chest of receivers.
  • I have no idea about his mental makeup with regards to functioning in an NFL offense.
  • He did seem to have some "moxie" that I have not seen from QB Mike White.

I like his grit in the last game. Definitely a baller. Hope he makes the PSQ.

He went to try out for a couple of years before hooking up with the Raiders. I was playing golf with him when his agent called him with his first big contract. We left in the middle of the round, had a beer in the club house to celebrate and he went home to tell his parents. He was so excited. He's a good guy. My daughter have one of his daughters piano lessons this summer.

I think he was named MVP that year!! Lol not good when the punter is your MVP. The Raiders still fly him in for special occasions. He was at Grudens press conference when he was hired. He has some great Gruden stories!!

I thought I heard the announcers say a couple of weeks ago that the injuries to Jarwin and Schultz were minor. I assume both will be back for the regular season, but maybe the injuries were slower to heal than I realized.

I bet he does! MVP - more notes of distinction! Well, they also had Ray Guy, so two good punters.

I was having lunch with Jeff Gossett in Austin a few years back, he told me he had punted for the Raiders. I asked him, my buddy Leo punted for them, do you know him? He looked at me and said, yeah, he took my job! Oops!!! He laughed, I called Leo and he and Jeff talked for a while. It was funny.

We're 7 hours away so he won't be coming home for many weekends. Yeah the whole area is beautiful. I'll be heading back late September to meet up with him for a camping/kayaking trip in Davy Crockett NF.

Dang. At least he laughed! That's life in pro football. The shell game.

Yeah, probably not. Still some interesting things to do in the area if you stay there. Hopefully, he studies on the weekends, right? The East Texas highways are not fast for East - West driving. I hit a 7 point buck going through that area on my way home for Thanksgiving Day one year.
