I apologize MTK 10-03-2011, 01:03 PM A poll has been up for a while lol reminds me of the guy yesterday that didn't see the game thread Chico23231 10-03-2011, 01:05 PM again!! I apologize lol, i didnt mean to start all that. and point taken from the mods. Longtimefan 10-03-2011, 01:09 PM lol, i didnt mean to start all that. and point taken from the mods. I'm just glad they don't pay me to see there was a poll lol SmootSmack 10-03-2011, 01:24 PM again!! I apologize I probably posted at the same time you edited vallin21 10-03-2011, 01:27 PM I voted Torain. Stick with the hot hand. I'm just not buying that Hightower was "banged" up. He showed no signs of being "banged up" (running and pass blocking). Shanahan's making an excuse as to why Hightower's been underachieving. He's done this before w/ Mcnabb. Torain had 135 yards, w/ the O-line opening the same holes yesterday, that Hightower couldn't hit consistently the last 3 weeks. Even when Hightower's been healthy, he just hasn't been effective. It's been 2 or 3 yards with him. On the flipside,Torain and Helu have gained 5,6,7 yards on the same stretch play. If we ran Torain against Dallas, we might've won that game. Torain should get most of the carries Wk 6, with Hightower coming in on pass blocking situations. Bottom Line: I just don't buy that Hightower's banged up. He's just been ineffective RUNNING the ball. Banged up or not. MTK 10-03-2011, 01:32 PM I voted Torain. Stick with the hot hand. I'm just not buying that Hightower was "banged" up.

He was wearing some sort of brace or extra padding for his left upper arm. http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/49/fullj.d639a1864462efee01ddfd9bde56e7d9/d639a1864462efee01ddfd9bde56e7d9-getty-127884515.jpg Chico23231 10-03-2011, 01:42 PM I kinda dont understand why people dont want to believe he is injuried. rather just say, beast for giving it a go. skinsfan69 10-03-2011, 02:59 PM I think everyone (including myself) got caught up in the pre season stuff and forgot just how good Torain can be. The guy was a beast last year. I'm not sure how long the guy's going to last running the way he does but if healthy he's our best back. It takes several guys the bring him down.
