I'm just a little surprised at this move. Because Torrence certainly isn't very much, ok teamer/bottom barrel corner. But he was serviceable now.
With that said. That is more than I can say for Tyron (Which I don't ever think will be any good) or Kelly standing on the sidelines with street cloths on.
I have never been a fan of Torrence for the record.
I don't think this move has any effect on anything, in the locker room or on the field. Thats why they brought in Hall.
Now we need a WR to replace Kelly and/or knows how to play football better than Thomas, for the stretch run. Both these kids might be ok down the road but we are getting no production out of Kelly and little to none out of Thomas.

Who knows if there is any truth to it (its one side), but any way...?
HALL WANTED TO FIGHT A FALCON LAST WEEK
Posted by Mike Florio on November 8, 2008, 11:24 a.m.
At halftime of last week’s game between the Falcons and the Raiders, former Falcons (and also former Raiders but now current Redskins) cornerback DeAngelo Hall waited for a member of the Falcons.
For the purposes of fighting him.
Falcons linebacker Keith Brooking recently mentioned the incident during a spot with Buck and Kincade on 680 The Fan in Atlanta. Here’s what Brooking said, without naming the former teammate in question.
“One of our ex-players, sitting there in the tunnel, waiting on us to come through the halftime to pick a fight with one of my teammates,” Brooking said. “I’m just sitting there as I’m going to the locker room thinking, ‘Geez, man, I mean, I’m so glad we’re removed from all that mess.’ You know, because of the camaraderie that we have as a team from a players standpoint, the relationships we’ve developed with our coaches. I mean, it’s a great working relationship.”
We don’t know which player Hall wanted to thump (or, as the case may be, get thumped by) or why he wanted to attempt some thumping, but it’s a sign that Hall has a long way to go before he’ll persuade the Redskins to give him a long-term deal.
Then again, maybe he is changing. Consider this quote from a Friday appearance on Sirius NFL Radio with Bruce Murray and Carl Banks. When asked how bad things are in Oakland, Hall said this: “I’m still a firm believer in they’re really not that bad. It was definitely unfortunate the way things worked out for me but I still don’t think it’s a bad place. I still think they’re going to somehow get it turned around. I’ve got a lot of respect for Al Davis. He talked to me like a man, told me I was the last one to come so I’m the first one to go. And I respect that. Gave me the opportunity to go where I wanted to go and that’s all I can ask for.”
I say we offer Michael Westbrook a contract just to keep this guy in check.

To be short and sweet to avoid jacking this thread, Stephen Davis said something about him being gay or acting gay and got his face punched in.
