Re: Game Tape: Ryan Torain

Eh why not?


By the way the producer of this show was pretty annoying having virtually every play for the Skins start with a close up of McNabb. Stupid stuff you don't notice until you try to edit tape, lol.

That's what I'm sayin'. I don't know why some people want us to spend big on a running back when Shanny can take an ordinary 1 cut back and make him look like a Pro Bowler. I don't think we have anything to be concerned about at RB with Torain, Helu, and Hightower back there this season.

Totally, with the busted up OL, Torain still managed a respectable 4.5 a carry and was on pace for like 1200 yards which is damn impressive given how crappy the rest of the offense was. I fully believe that with even an average passing game and with an improved OL (no Rabach is a great start), Torain could put up decent numbers.

Well, Ahmad Bradshaw is the best back available, and he would make night and day difference over anyone else we could acquire, but assuming he's not coming here on a 3 year deal (or shorter), we might as well roll with what we have on the roster.

There are a couple of home-run hitters in free agency who would look good somewhere on our depth chart though.

Re: Game Tape: Ryan Torain

With some consistent run blocking we'll have a solid run game this season. Much of what Torrain did last year he did on his own....
