Even when Ryan Torain's is at his best, his top-end speed is not that threatening and he is not a threat as a receiver.

No need for Torain, no big surprise he was cut anyone could have seen this coming. With Helu and Royster we have a couple of nice young backs to build with going forward. I wouldn't be surprised if we look for another back in the later rounds in the draft too.

Im starting to wonder if Shanahan is gonna go after Hillis next year. I think Hightower will be back next year but may not be as effective as he was before. We need a big rb who can also block.

Re: Update: Aldrick Robinson Promoted to Active Roster/Torain Released/Stafon Johnson Added to PS
Helu, Royster, and now Johnson represent a shift in philosophy regarding the appropriate investment in the RB position. They come a dime a dozen, so unless it's an Adrian Peterson level talent, why burn a first day pick on a RB? Get them late and focus on other positions with your first day picks. Love it.
We need to continue the depth building process and get that QB of the future on the roster. Long way to go but I like the way they're allocating resources. Picking a pass rusher in Kerrigan early, and then waiting to get the RBs off the scrap heap is the right approach.

I doubt Shanahan will pursue Hillis very hard. He'd probably offer Hillis a low, inexpensive offer that is far below what Hillis wants.

Why are people talking around Hightower?

IR'd earlier this year. He'll be back for somebody if not us. If I remember, he could catch as well as run.

Re: Update: Aldrick Robinson Promoted to Active Roster/Torain Released/Stafon Johnson Added to PS
In addition, Hightower's contract is up this year so he is a free agent. To get him back, the Skins will have to do more than just wait for him to show up in Ashburn for the off season rehab program.
A few posts back someone ragged on Royster's pass catching abilities. He may not be a great receiver, but he does not have "stone hands" either. He can be in the game on third and long...

Washington Examiner ran a short piece mentioning that at least one NFL team wanted to sign him off our practice squad, but did not say which team or teams had interest. Implication was that Shanahan used this circumstance as reason to release Torain and promote (protect) Robinson.
