The screws in Torain's hand may be permanent. My daughter broke her wrist years ago and she still carries the screws the surgeon put in her wrist to repair it. There is no plan to ever take them out.

I'm thinking that Torain may need to go on IR. I can't imagine how painful it would be for him to take a hard hit on his hand right now. Could he hold onto the ball? I assume that catching a pass right now would be difficult for him, as well.

MAN the thing about Hightower, Torrain and Helu. These dudes run...HARD! If we have any successful blocking at all we should have an old school power running attack. Should be really fun and make life much more fun for our QB.
CANNOT wait!

You are right. I would add that the whole team is playing hard. We have much more of a lunch pail attitude than in the last few years. Preseason scores do not count but that part matters.

and young, and cooley...

helu will be the #3 to start i imagine cause he's pass blocking is beyond awful right now. if KW is the 3DRB, protection is probably the reason. I think all of them catch pretty well.

Right now, Hightower is the starter hands down with Torain battling it out with Helu for number two. It's tough cause of injuries but he who performs plays, and Helu has performed so far.

Per Chris Russell: Ryan Torain says "progress is good" When asked if target was Tampa, final preseason game, he said "Yeah, definitely".

12thMan · 08-21-2011, 11:30 AM

Interesting that more are leaning that Torrain might not make the team, I think he will. Let's see if he gets on the field vs. Tampa.

GTripp0012 · 08-21-2011, 11:32 AM

I do think Torain will make the team over Royster. But he's the no. 3 back behind Helu and Hightower, and I think he'll be inactive on gamedays but for an injury.

12thMan · 08-21-2011, 02:02 PM

I'm fine with Torrain not making the team, just to be clear. But I guess I underestimated his injury a bit and expected him to be in the lineup. That said, I would be surprised if he didn't make the final roster.

skinsfaninok · 08-21-2011, 02:21 PM

Honestly I don't care if ATV is there, Hightower and Helu are our future RB tandem for a few years. Plus Torain is always injured

Helu Torain (High)Tower Royster..HTTR!!!

I'm calling him Tim Tower from now on for the purposes of my acronym

I think if Torrain gets healthy and stays healthy he makes the team but it has to happen soon and he has to show he can be as effective as the other guys.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but Peter King is suggesting that Peyton Manning might need a second surgery. Or at the very least, his recovery isn't going as fast as they hoped.
