chow184 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I feel really bad for leigh, I would have cut mike green instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recent Vintage Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Obviously I'd rather have D. Hall; you don't get 20 interceptions and 2 trips to Hawaii for nothing. Honestly, I think Tryon should've been cut, not Torrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGibbsRypenGClark91 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 They have 4 cover corners. That is enough. Mike Green is needed for depth at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobags95 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thanks for the effort Leigh. We should have cut Mike Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_Fan Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Seriously though? DeAngelo Hall by light years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozskin Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 It's not as straight forward as Torrence or Hall. Torrence isn't going to be missed all that much, and Hall is definitely a better player. So player to player, Hall wins The problem is what happens to the continuity when Torrence leaves. I'm not saying will, but Torrence leaving could cause more problems than Hall fixes. If that happens, i'd rather Torrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TysonM Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've yelled Torrence's name in disgust too many times in the preseason and regular season to want to keep doing so.... so I have to admit I'm happy in getting Hall, especially since it is noted that his skills are a great fit for our defense unlike with the Raiders. Hopefully Hall can find stability here and be a standout player again. Its regrettable because the players were getting used to Leigh... but sometimes you don't want to be the team that pays the price for someone learning their lessons.

Soup Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I feel bad for politician Leigh too, but I don't trust the guy on his own. That Rams game really sticks with me. Imagine if at the end of the year the skins lose out on winning the division or god prevent the playoffs, I will look right at that game and at Torrence for not covering that Rookie WR.

BigMike619 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Torrence has 7 votes? Seriously?How many relatives does he have on here..... ? Hail. why do you say that? because we like his character better then hall's? because we dont trust hall to play well and think he is overrated?

Ingtar Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 No question. Hall. I was nervous every single time I saw Torrence on the field. The guy was cut for a reason. I am sure Vinny didn't go to Blache and say "We are cutting Torrence, and we want no arguments from you, buddy." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 How about waiting to see how Hall performs for us first. His trips to Hawaii don't mean jack since he didn't do any of that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins-Canes-Mounties Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 The 9 people that voted for Torrence need to have their heads examined. Please see the final drive of the Rams game. Hall is better and younger than Torrence. Torrence had a shot, and he was just plain awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroundNPound Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Even if he's overated.. hall is twice the CB that torrence is. Can't dispute the character thing... but you are talking about us picking up a young/veteran/pro-bowl capable CB for under 500k this year? Game over man... game over.

This is my feeling, too...Hall could end up being a bust here, and dropping Torrence for him wouldn't look like too smart a move. Unless Tryon is just REALLY showing things to the coaches behind the scenes, I would have preferred them moving him to the practice squad (if that's possible).

Billfishead Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 They have 4 cover corners. That is enough. Mike Green is needed for depth at safety. With Hall coming on board that opens the opportunity for Springs to play some safety. Mike Green was a stop gap, besides if not Green it should have been Tyron. Oh ! Sorry, Vinny wouldn't let that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 why do you say that? because we like his character better then hall's? because we dont trust hall to play well and think he is overrated? More down to the fact that Hall has way more up-side on the face of it. Younger, WAY more naturally gifted, and for a player that has been in the league a mere year longer than Torrence, way more consistent through out his career. I really don't get the character issue thing. Most all his ex-team mates, form both Atlanta and Oakland, speak REAL highly of him, STILL. He lost it in Atlanta after the HEAD COACH threw the whole team under the bus for Pete's sake, and the less said about the comedy organisation that is the Oakland Raiders under Al Davis the better. Good job Coach Gibbs didn't cast aside #21 through his early "character issues" huh? Time will tell, I may be totally wrong and if I am, you have my blessing to bring this back up, but I applaud the FO in what I firmly believe will turn out to be a fantastic free agent pick-up for many years to come. We have a top class corner, who is finally in a top class locker room, back home, at HIS boyhood team. It's in Halls hands to succeed or fail. He'll never get a better opportunity. Hail.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Hall is by far the superior player but I dont think Torrence is as bad as some people make him out to be. He was young and coming along pretty good I thought. I hope he gets picked up by another team soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is, if this story has any truth to it Hall's "character issues" aren't "early" ones, they're "ongoing" ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
