Not a fan of this at all. I really think Tyron should have lost his spot over Torrence.

Not sure why they would do this either. Maybe Vinny is just looking at potential? Torrence has been around for a while, so chances are he already is the player he'll be in this league. Tryon on the other hand may have the potential to be a starting caliber CB one day.

Or it could be with Durant Brooks already gone, and Kelly likely headed to IR, cutting Tryon would further prove that, Horton aside, this years draft class has thoroughly stunk.

The FO are trying their hardest to make our draft class look good when almost none of them have done any good for our team. Torrence wasn't always good in coverage but he was far more better than Tryon, even though we have barely seen him on the field. I think the FO are a bunch of dumb asses and should be shot. They should have cut Tryon or Jackson. Most Redskins fans don't even know they're on the roster.

As you can probably tell, this move pisses me off. Not the signing of DeAngelo Hall (I love this move), but the cutting of an pretty decent CB in Leigh Torrence. I hope he finds a team soon.

The move to cut Torrence concerns me, too.

However, Torrence was in his third year (he missed 2006) and was about as good as he was ever going to be. Now, he was not bad, but still, if the peak of his career is as a 4th corner, that is not so good, either.

Tryon, being so young, still has the potential to be better. We haven't really seen him since the preseason - maybe he is looking better in practice. I thought we could move him to the practice squad but, because of his youth, he might not have cleared waivers.

At bottom, losing a career 4th corner is spilt milk that deserves few tears, as much as I will miss Leigh.

Tryon is some kind of miracle man. Dude should be playing in the Siberian Arena Bowl League.

Yeah, no doubt. The thing that annoys me is we could have moved Tryon to the practice squad and kept Torrence around anyway. Dumb move cutting him IMO.

Keeping Tryon and not IR-ing Kelly at this point is just desperation that our draft class will pan out in any way, shape, or form this year. Horton aside, this year's draft picks have stunk like hot garbage.

In my opinion the best course of action would be IR Kelly, practice squad Tryon so we can keep Torrence active, and sign a WR who can actually get into pads on Sunday. Another option would have been to cut Mike Green, who has only been around for a few weeks anyway.

Hall better be damn good. It looks to me like he's having an adverse affect on team chemistry already.

skinsfan_nn · 11-08-2008, 03:13 PM

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.

Wait a minute... Westbrook....fights with teammates...lots of potential....underachiever....selfish...not a team player.....man I'm glad we don't sign guys like that to our team anymore.
