The only way we will know for sure that this is the main reason is - if the giants cut him sometime next week.

I dont think trying to get some sort of competitive advantage had anything to do with the Giants picking up Torrain. They picked him up because they need a RB and he's a pretty good one. Shannahan's ZBs has been around for decades. Torrain wouldnt be able to tell them anything about it they dont already know.
