ATV comes with the disclaimer - "Caution: Not actually suitable for all terrains as bumps and hard knocks can result in minor structural damage. Major structural damage may also occur requiring extensive time in the repair shop. Not to be used as a primary vehicle."

No no no. It's suitable for that, maybe even perfect, however only the last sentence is true.

I like Torain and M. Kelly, but I dont want them on the team if they are gonna be constantly on the sideline nursing injuries. Dont care how good of guys they are, if we are rebuidling those roster spots need to be given to other to develop and show what they got.

Kelly has more of a problem in that he didn't really convince anyone he was much of an nfl starter w/the chances he got. He's now in his 4th year so even missing a year on IR he'll be expected to produce.

Torain on the other hand (no pun intended) was our best rb last year & is the presumed starter this year. Even if he only plays 50% of the games, at least they know what they can get out of him. He could be our new 50/50! I think the jury is out on whether Kelly can consistently get open & be a decent wr. He may have to become a career slot reciever.

Overall, both of these guys could be cut if they're not healthy at the time of final cuts. Both aren't good enough to wait too long on. I wouldn't be surprised to see both cut, but I think Torain is much less likely.

Hand injury, but we can't make anything out of this and blame ATV for being injury-prone in this case...he hasn't had a history of freak broken hand incidents.

If it were his knee, sure, then we could be worried.

He'll be fine to be the starter in Week 1.

you cant really blame the guy for the fact. Im sure its not his personal choice to miss game after game for injury. Nor Kelly.

For being the starter week 1, that not close to being a done deal by a long shot...especially with another injury setback.

Meanwhile Barnes is now wearing #22

MTK · 08-04-2011, 10:59 AM

Tough break for Torain. So did he bang his hand on a helmet or something?

I know he's got the injury prone label, but something like that can happen to anyone.

Yeah, it was a helmet

RB is a brutal position. They take a beating. I hope he recovers soon.

SBXVII · 08-04-2011, 12:00 PM

Speaking of Kelly, I hope he only got a portion of his payment cause otherwise he should pay some back. How are you going to get drafted, get a decent contract, then not be on the field for 3 yrs getting paid?

It's time to man up and play or get lost.

Anybody know how well is Lorenzo playing? I know he won't be starter, but I'm curious to see how well he's playing as LB now that he's down to 255ish pounds.

I was just goin to ask about him the other day. It's hard to keep a guy like that off the field.

Redskins store is now carrying Brandon Banks' jersey. They weren't before.

Pretty sure that means he's a roster lock.

You can hang it up beside this if he's cut:
