hitmandm Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Obviously Tryon was viewed highly as they spent a 4th rounder on him. Ive seen scouting reports from people tat said Tryon was a good CB also. If he has high potential, then you can't judge the guy after 4 preaseason games. Tryon look bad this preaseason, but if he his a quality #3 guy two years down the road, we should keep him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianforster Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Honestly, he was probably released because the team wanted to give him a chance to sign somewhere else. He would have been buried on the depth chart here. Wasn't one of our coaches (Blache? Gray?) in love with Torrence's potential? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 we should boycott this or something! Torrence was amazing on ST's!! YOU boycott it. Obviously, Torrence is more important to you than the Redskins. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isle-hawg Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hall vs Torrence for the same price' date=' who would you choose?[/quote']There were other choices. I would take Torrence over Tryon anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are professionals, and they know this is a business. They can't keep what they may deem as "inferior talent" b/c they fear that some player on the team is gonna pout.

JeepRyder Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well there is your answer for anybody wondering why Carlos was pissed last night. He probably knew this was coming and if u watch any of Comcast Pregame u know those 4 corners are really tight. So I guess he knew one of his boys was gonna be shown the door. Hopefully Hall can come in and earn the respect of Carlos and the rest of the secondary. I think he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMike619 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 man ****, I liked Leigh. What also sucks is we hung with his family in Canton and they are really nice people as well. Good luck Leigh and I hope you land on a team that will develop you properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan190 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 we should boycott this or something! Torrence was amazing on ST's!! R u kiding me. He was a horrible corner. And imo he wasn,t that good o special teams. Ilm not sure about kick coverage. But he was horrible on punt coverage, people used to blow right past him.

IbleedBnG83 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Leigh will probably go to the Ravens. Since his family is close to B-more and the Ravens need a corner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 He should've looked for the ball in the Rams game. Seriously though, I thought we needed depth at CB. Why let him go? How about Kareem Moore or Mke Green? Or Rob Jackson? Even placing Malcolm Kelly on IR would've been a more prudent move(although supposedly he is healthy now).

That's the only play he made this season. He didnlt even mean to make the play. The ball bounced off his helmet. Either way I,ll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCJDLJ Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I have never been impressed with Torrence. He was basically a warm body that filled a roster spot. Torrence has gotten about as good as he is going to get while Tryon, with good coaching, may develop into a good player. Tryon has more upside. I'm kinda stoked that the Redskins could have Springs, Rogers, Smoot, Hall, Landry and Horton all on the field at the same time. Springs can play free safety while Landry is moved back into the box to blitz and support the run. Springs could be the best cover safety in the league.

Toe Jam Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 No, stupid posts like this which are devoid of any explanation or reasoning and are meant solely to attack a player in a derogatory manner suck ass. Bet you wouldn't have been pissed if I said "Romo sits to pee sucks ass" without giving an explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, Campbell is having a pro bowl year. So is Cooley. Portis could end up with 1900+ yards, the rushing tiltle and the MVP Award. Moss is back to fine form. The defense is playing great. Fletcher should be a pro bowler. The Redskins found a STEAL in Horton, who could end up DROY. Zorn is doing well for a rookie HC and could be coach of the year. The team is 6-3 with a moderately difficult schedule, and could be headed to the playoffs where they could make some noise. But no no........ you're right. The Redskin players will give ALL THAT up and "blow up the team".... ....just for little Leigh Torrence. Smart thinking there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbleedBnG83 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I dont think so man. I don't think it would be to the extent that I came off, but with Carlos openly not excited about the signing, and now Torrence being released and players openly upset, I could only imagine this cuts into the cohesion the defense had.

Laxpunk2006 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Rams game, burned in the 4th qtr, allowing them to get into field goal range and win the game. The guy can't cover ****. You realize the example you are giving was an underthrown ball in which Torrence had PERFECT coverage. If that ball was thrown properly it was an interception or deflection. Bulger lucked out that Avery was able to make a great adjustment. This is also a play our coaches went out and said was moreso on Kareem Moore blowing his assignment than anything else. Moore had RB responsibility and when he stayed in to block he was suppose to blitz but didn't. He also didn't drop back to give Torrence help, he stood there and did nothing making us play with 10 men against their 11. If that one game-losing play is so bad to get him cut, then was his game saving play against Arizona tipping the ball to Carlos enough to keep him around? Torrence was a very solid #3/4 corner. He gets a lot of **** because fans don't like to accept the fact that all defenders get beat. Regardless of how well or poorly Torrence has played this season, he has played much better than DeAngelo. I don't mind picking up Hall, but I don't like losing Torrence. He was great on ST and solid on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
