Leigh Torrence...
 

Makes me miss Ade Jimoh.

LOL. Great thread.

Re: Leigh Torrance...
 

Leigh Torrance....should don the nickname "cushion" from now on.

Re: Leigh Torrance...
 

lol seriously he sucks a big one. I remember him turning around in weird awkward angles, and just making wrong jumps to the ball.

What a terrible player...

I think burnt toast is also a good nickname

Re: Leigh Torrance...
 

He's a solid Special teams player and GW like him. There must be a reason?

Re: Leigh Torrance...
 

In honor of this digital age we live in, and because he bites on every fake I shall henceforth don him...Bit Torrence

How about "Low Tolerance?" Oh, never mind.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

I can't believe this guy is playing this bad. Is Macklin who I saw on the field several times but they didn't throw at him, as bad as LT?

Haven't seen enough of DM on the field to comment, which usually isn't good.

But this torrance kid, I've darn sure seen him get burned one time to many.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

He's terrible. He's not even allowed to try and cover anyone...he just lays off 10 yards and tries to make the tackle after the catch.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

Terrbile Torrence. Hate to be a hater, but he's garbage.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

Like I said last week. Torrence + Eubanks = Garbage.

I can't wait till the offseason when we can cut these 2. Or at least put them back on ST... Permanently.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

Though he is OK at best it's up to the coaches how far off he plays. He's only doing what GW asks him so I guess you should direct your anger towards GW and Co.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

Saden-
That's no excuse.
GW didn't tell Torrence to play bad...

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

Well, when you have undrafted rookie practice squad guys out there, what do you expect?

Sometimes, it works--Heyer--sometimes it doesn't--LT (the OTHER, OTHER LT...).

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

That's why cornerbacks are so important. The fact that we had three starting caliber corners on the team this year has been huge. There can be a dramatic dropoff in talent with backup db's.

I sincerely doubt that GW or any other coach told him to turn his hips the wrong way and get turned around multiple times. They might have directed him to play off, but the guys fundamentals are not good, the game seems too big for him right now. They liked him for his speed and as a special teams guy, he was never meant to be in there with the starters. These things happen when you start having to replace top 10 picks with undrafted guys...

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

seriously, this kid stinks.....actually stinks is a little nice - he F'n SUCKS! I have not seen someone get beat up so bad since the New ORleans corner earlier in the season. I hope we have someone else to play for this dude. Where is Barry Wilburn when you need him?

HA! HA! I told you guys you'd be sorry!!!

Seriously, LeTo (I refuse to use LT since that is reserved for Lawrence Taylor or LaDanian Tomlinson) is really, really bad. If I was an O-Cordinator, I would throw at him EVERY play. Is there really no other talent out there? I never thought I'd say it, but I can't believe how much I miss Rogers. He was finally turning it on - and let Smoot excel as a nickel back (which suits him since he's hurt or sick for 1/2 the game anyway...). Springs is fantastic but only has a few years left at best, so I figure we MUST draft a CB in Rounds 1 or 2 of the draft. We can't afford one in free agency - so don't go there... And you know we don't have enough money to bring THE ADE back!

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

The Torrence experience has always surprised me, we signed David Macklin after Gibbs convincing him to play in DC for less than he could've gotten elsewere, yet the guy is inactive most games.

He played a little last night, but it appears that obviously Torrence beat him out for that spot. Either that or GW really thinks his potential outweighs his inexperience, let's hope so.

On a positive note, the kid is a decent tackler & he's not getting beat deep. Even when he's giving a lot of cushion they could still go after him deep w/double moves. Also, all of our cb's have been giving a lot of cushion this year due to GW's cover 2.

Re: Leigh Torrence...
 

Leigh Torrence...
is one of the reasons why the skins will spend at least two picks in this years draft on the secondary. The guy is not going to make the roster next year and he will probably be replaced by 1 or 2 CB's picked up in the draft. I think we might use a day 1 pick on a safety as well. (Day 1 pick on a CB and a S; Possible Day 2 pick on another CB).

On a side note, I have been searching for an actual inventory of our picks. I know that ppl have mentioned it on different posts before and I have heard that we lose a 4th or 5th rounder this year. The best resource i have found is Wikipedia (which is dangerous to trust) but according to the list of transactions, i don't see any of the skins' picks being traded away. Anyone have any confirmation on this?
