Yeah KW was pretty decent in his blitz pickups if I remember right.
Torain is strictly a 2 down player, I can see one of the new kids beating him out.

Mike Shanahan said that K-Wil was the best blocker on the team after CP went down. Now that's not saying a whole lot considering CP is one of the best blocking backs in the game, but compare his blocking to Torain and like, James Davis, and it's a lot better. I was the one who cut the film of Donovan McNabb in the Colts game, and Keiland has some pretty impressive blitz pick-ups. That's the reason he was out there on third down so often.
Maybe I'm thinking of someone else. Last season feels like so long ago it's all a blur. Maybe I'm still thinking of Ladell Betts

Hahaha.
Maybe you're thinking of James Davis. He whiffed on a few blitz pick-ups.
Or it could be Torain. He wasn't any better, and he wore number 46.

You best pick that gauntlet back up!
No seriously though it's ok, I know Torain has his flaws. Even I've said he should be no more than our 1A, probably #2 option at RB.
But say anything bad about Chase Daniel or Justin Smith and heads will roll

You mean the short guy and the engine that couldn't get double digit sacks? Smoot did you by any chance go to Missouri?

When I was at the Jacksonville game last year I noticed something, Toraine runs with a limp. You know who else runs with a limp, Adrien Peterson. That limp only comes with violent runners that run pissed. I think he's gonna kill it next year.

As good as AP is, he still can't block and he still can't catch either.
...In fact, that makes him a lot like Torain.
Honestly, as crazy as it sounds, if I were Mike Shanahan, I'd try to flip Ryan Torain for a third or fourth round draft pick. Shanahan has pretty much made a career out of trading running backs for either picks or players he needs.
Just something to float out there to keep the discussion floating.
