face palm moment for sure

Charles Mann Will Have You Know That He's Totally Straight (http://deadspin.com/5832852/charles-mann-will-have-you-know-that-hes-totally-straight)

I saw that. I watched the whole game on CSN and I think Mann felt a little uncomfortable at first, in the beginning it sounded like he was just reading lines off a teleprompter. But I think he grew a little more comfortable towards the end of the game. Maybe he just needs to get comfortable in that role. But I for one was very happy with JT not being in the booth anymore.

I don't think Torain will play at all this preseason. There was some speculation that he may silt out until the bye week. Not sure though. Mike absolutely loves him though,

He still has four screws in his hand, doesnt he?

Yeah, the screws will probably stay in there until after the season.

He might be. He'll need to play this week. If he does not play against the Ravens, and show what he can do further, he might be gone.

I think our best option is to have Hightower/Torrain/Helu going into the season... but if you can't stay healthy, you can't make the team...

Yeah, I could see that rotation... with Royster on the PS.

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.

For the record, I think Torrain makes the team and is still possibly starter vs. Giants. Good problem to have though -- finally.

I dont see how Hightower is not the starter. Personally blown away by how great he has been in this system. Damn, Shanny really showing off his ability to get solid RBs once again that excel in his system. That freakin cut back last night got me off the couch last nite night spilling my West Coast IPA in the process. See SS, when I name drop, its good beers name dropping

Interesting call. Real long shot on starting over Hightower though.

I really think Torain is seriously on the bubble.

Agreed. I think royster makes it over him. I also think sellers is done.

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.
