Shanahan didn't cut Torain. He drafted him but Ryan got hurt. The McDaniel's administration then cut him (after Shanny got fired).

One of the first things he did was to acquire Torain for the Skins. The fans went "Huh?"

Obviously Mike Shanahan knows about unheralded RBs...

In Shanny we trust! I'm glad the kid is getting a shot. I just read about how he got hurt in that practice "incident" w/out shoulder pads.

Ten teams supposedly wanted James but he signed with Washington because of the Shanny mystique. I think the pic above says everything you need to know...

I believe the browns run a zone blocking scheme quite similar to Shannahans. If Davis produces I will be surprised.

Two words: "Ryan Torain."

Your response: "Who?"

My reply: "Exactly."

He's a Skin now!

Watchout, dudes. You know what happens when Shanahan gets one of "those" backs in the zone blocking scheme...

Congrats on the win over the Saints and thanks for the new pony!

I hate to say I told you so.

James Davis was all wrong for this team. I'm still ALL for a Hillis + Bush backfield this offseason.

Just wait till Shanahan gets ahold of him! Just sayin'...
