Giants are signing RB Ryan Torain! Can it be a factor against the Redskins?

[jservs7]

Why do I have a feeling they pick up Babin as well?

[beachboy757]

After seeing this team play 11 weeks, I don't worry about the opposing teams backs. I am mainly worried about their #1 and #2 receivers AND now opposing QB's dare us to double cover their receivers, when we do they light us up with their TE over the middle. smh.

[BadKarma]

Pfft, Ryan is Shanahans boy, if I were Coughlin I would be more worried about what the all Torrain vehicle is gonna leak back our way than vice versa.

That said I imagine he does get a few carries this week filling in for Brown, I think the Giants are comfortable with the role Wilson is in right now and wont want to mix things up unless they have to.

[MartinC]

;9288261']I think Torrain was signed to get the short yards like Brown did. Brown was the goal line back and I think that is what Torrain will do.

Of course' date=' the Giants signed Kregg Lumpkin or however you spell it too.[/quote']

Torrain is not a good short yardage/goal line back - if thats what they expect from him they will be disappointed. He had his moments here but was tentative with his cuts and showed poor vision for the cut back and both of those things will get you cut in the stretch running scheme we run.

I'm not concerned about him. The offense is completely different. If he's in the game then the giants are already in trouble. I actually prefer his downhill running style as opposed to Bradshaw's shiftyness and speed. Our front seven has been stout against the run and I expect them to continue it.

1) The Redskins signed a Giants' practice squad QB before a game versus them during the Zorn years. Point is that it happens all the time.

2) Ryan Torain has no idea about this offense right now. As far as the defense goes, who doesn't have the intel on how to embarrass them?

3) Ryan Torain doesn't even know the Giants offense yet since he just signed, so he more than likely will be inactive or if he is active, "may" get 1 or 2 carries at the most.

Torain is gonna be their 3rd back he will barely get carries and will be a non factor. We got lucky not having to worry about Andre brown he was a load and was running the football well. David Wilson is a fumble machine maybe we will get some turnovers out of him Monday night.

[Jacoah]

I can think of no other reason to bring him in than to squeeze what very little knowledge he still retains about a vastly different scheme. But that's Coughlin for you.

[MattFancy]

Don't think Torain does anything. This offense is completely different from when he was here.

[thecardiacrll]

Don't forget The Giants have already seen our 2012 offense, granted that was the 1st game game of the season, but none the less this will be their their 2nd look

1st game of the season? We played the Saints the 1st game of the season we played the Giants just a month ago.

[Dan T.]

Remember Kelvin Bryant? That's who Torain reminds me of. I liked them both as Redskins, but their hard, upright running style overexposed them to injury.

David Wilson is a fumble machine maybe we will get some turnovers out of him Monday night.

A fumble machine? Really? He fumbled one time. Or did I miss a few?

I'm trying to figure out why does Tom Coughlin always adds an ex Redskins player prior to a game vs the Redskins. I wonder if he's trying to gain some competitive advantage.

I just hope Ryan doesn't open up the run game for the Giants, because that's the only thing that's good about our defense. If the Giants can continually get 3 or 4 yards I expect a long day for our skins.

What do you guys think?

We run an entirely different offense from last year, so I don't think it helps them.

[WheresRickySanders83]

This has nothing to do with gaining intel. If they wanted intel, they would've signed Ryan Grant.

[NoVaSkins21]

Still more worried about their passing attack then the running game. Skins run D has been stout this season. Torain didn't do much here, but things always seem to change when former Skins players put on different uniforms. We'll see I guess.

[DC9]

If Torrain gets carries I will be suprised. But who knows... I doubt it hurts us schematically because he hasn't been here since we installed the pistol.

[thecardiacrll]

;9288746']A fumble machine? Really? He fumbled one time. Or did I miss a few?

Watched the kid at VA TECH he is a fumbler. Maybe only 1 this season but it was a big one and he hasent had many carries. I live in Northern VA and saw alot of his VA Tech games Tom he was known to fumble alot.

Heres an article about it

Ryan Torrain was so long ago.

[SemperFi Skins]

I get sick of hearing the whole "he's brought in for intel" junk... unless he was cut by us today and signed with NY tomorrow, then no one has any idea what our gameplan is. Hence, why gameplans are made and changed week to week... Screw the Giants... They got lucky the first time and now it's payback!

Plus... I have a wager on this game with a smoking hot lady friend. If/when we win, I'll be off this board for a few days if you catch my drift.

This is the new generation of Redskins with RG3... no longer need to make excuses before the games even been played... Eli's the poster child for a Melwood commercial and his reign stops here!

[Tweedr01]

I dislike the Giants very much, so I will turn a blind eye and just assume they are up to no good.

That being said, I doubt there's much he will be able to provide intel-wise, and playing-wise. The only skins I have ever known to really say they would give up some kind of intel are Lavar and Devin.

[wholee]

Torain to the Giants means nothing to me. He can't give them any insight to what we're doing. I'm not concerned about the Giants period. Monday Night can't get here fast enough. HTTR!
