Would You Rather...

but there is no creativity involved in cutting Torain. Matter of fact, I could see this actually happening, with Royster being brought in to fill the spot.

I am extremely hopeful, that Hightower comes back as good as ever. I really thought he was going to bring excitement to our offense and, given a better line, I still believe he will next year. RB is not an area of vital concern. If there is no hole, nowhere to run, you get what you get.

Who voted for Helu?

Helu offers something different with his speed and ability as a receiver out of the backfield. Hightower is a brilliant blocker and follows the system exactly how it’s coached. He brings intensity to the team and showed some chemistry with the starting Oline (taking them out to dinner, etc). Torain offers the ability to just run people over. But he doesn’t really offer anything on 3rd down (Helu better receiver, Hightower a better blocker and receiver) and we all know his injury history. So assuming Hightower makes a full recovery from his injury and comes back 100%, I’d cut Torain if I had to cut one.

I’d let torrain go and sign Michael Bush as a free agent from the Raiders. Of course, I wanted them to trade Betts after the year he gained 1000 yards and draft Bush. Bush should be available for a fairly reasonable price and would be a significant upgrade over our current guys. He’s still young enough for 4 or 5 more good years.

He hasn’t fumbled the ball once this year. Just another popular player we traded for – only for him to quit performing like he used to.

I voted Torain mainly on injury concerns but it could easily have been Hightower (or both)

We don’t run the ball so why should the rookie have to spend his best years as a dump off machine for kyles crappy offense?

sorry couln’t resist :)

But I have to say Torain. Ever since the Rams game he has been less ATV and more Lil’ Red Tricycle. Hightower wasn’t much better, but he’s very Clinton’esque in passpro, which makes him nice to have around.

He isn’t fast, so he should be a bruising back hitting people going throught the hole. Problem is, he gets hurt easily, meaning he can’t do either.

Injury issues plus an inability to do ANYTHING this year. Hightower produced when he was playing, and Helu has shown more than Torain as a rookie. Cut Torain.

wish he make up his mind who is gonna go with….. i swear he spys on my fantasy teams and doesnt play the guy i have on my team. soon as a drop them bam… that rb gets the full work load

but since he isnt up there i voted for torain

Would you rather…..paint your toenails pink for a day or have your fingernails pulled out with needle nose pliers one by one? Torain…..can’t stay healthy and isn’t much of a 3rd down threat. Hightower hasn;t shown he can handle the load….but the upside is better and I think he is a better fit. Helu isn’t even part of the conversation for me…..I really like Helu. Not sure that he will break anymore records for us or anything….but I think he could be a valuable part of this team for years a la Kevin Faulk for the Patriots (no bitches….not in any other way comparing us to the Patriots)!

i like torain but his injury history and he is a straky runner he has 2 great games then 5 bad ones he is to up and down

Why wait to see if he can bounce back ? He has sustained a major injury. No one will pick him up. Bring up Royster, move Torain to 3rd String ( if you could cut 2 then he would be out as well). You have to see what Royster can do before you bring in another guy. Hightower will always be available.

hey tommy gunn i said all this time Torain was terrible and now this poll so who was right hmmm tommy HMMMMMM?

I think Helu can establish himself as a solid number one with some improved blocking. I may expecting too much out of Choice, but I think he could have been a great addition once healthy. We have Royster on the practice squad and could easily spend a 6th rounder on a decent guy

Torain should be cut for obvious reasons, and Hightower’s return seems unlikely. Hightower was better than average…but after an injury like that, he maybe return to mediocracy. I like him, but there are 100 kids coming out of college this year that are bigger and faster. I’d rather spend our energy on grooming a youngster than rehabbing a 1 year vet in this system
