Ryan Torain

Look, we can nitpick all we want but this kid is a breath of fresh air and he'll get better. I hope he ends the season healthy, gets another full training camp under his belt, tweek his game a little, and come out blazing next year.

Anytime he can put up those numbers on Chicago, there's nothing to complain about.

He reminds me of Stephen Davis. Maybe not as fast, but physically in uniform he looks like him. Anyone else feel this way?

Davis was more compact plus he had breakaway speed in the open field. Torain is lankier than Davis was. I think Eddie George is a good comparison that someone already brought up.

Great development for us this year, but before we anoint him the next Clinton Portis (be honest, he was one of the best RBs in the NFL and consistent for us for many years, close to breaking Riggins' career record)...lets see him make it through a whole season first. His health history hasn't been great.

While he's on the field...great to watch.

Love watching the chaos he creates when he gets into the secondary, not many DBs are going to bring him down without some serious help. As for the future rb I dont think we have enough evidence yet to make a decision.

I like Torain a lot but he needs to work on a couple of things to make him great. Hold on to the football and pound the ball North-South, he seems to run a lot East-West and getting no gains. I'm sure he will get better.

I think Torain runs way too far laterally on some plays, which forces his blocking to give him a lane, otherwise he loses five yards.

But that defense is an excellent run defense. One of the best in football. Torain got better than 5 yards per carry against it. And he didn't have a passing game to take any pressure off him.

One suggestion: hold onto the ball, son.

Torain is doing a great job. He's not the RB of the future though IMO.

The line is doing a better job of opening some holes for our RB's. Now, w/ a head of steam, Torain is a tough guy to tackle. He's doing an awesome job hitting the hole and his yards after contact are nice. He's missed some things and doesn't have that home run speed. I'm not picking, just my opinion. He's doing a great job though and we're lucky to have him.

I love his running but he also needs to learn when to stay in and block. I have seen him on several plays run right by a blitz as he runs out for a pass knowing he was the last person between him and McScabb.

The future is now my friends. He is our Back for this year. I think portis will come in and they will have 2 featured backs this year. I seriously see us maknig a playoff run and if we can beat the giants there is no reason we do not steal the division. Mcnabb needs to step it up tho. Defense is easily playoff contenders, just need that O to step it up.
