In one game Reggie Torbor's made more game changing plays than both of the Miami Dolphins starting linebackers. That's not a knock on Channing Crowder or Akin Ayodele. But Torbor's interception, which came off a Gibril Wilson pick, was a momentum changers. It'll be interesting to see if he's able to maintain his forward progress, especially now that it appears Channing Crowder's nursing a serious shoulder injury.

Crowder sat out Wednesday's practice while doing rehab work. He did plenty of running and sprinting, and the team's trainer was specifically working on drills that would strengthen his shoulder. Whether Crowder returns to practice, and plays on Sunday against the team he hates, will depend on how much pain he can tolerate.

Give the man a pain killer shot.

Torbor made more game changing plays than crowder has in 3 years, all in one play. Granted it was a tipped pass.

That said it was a nice catch/adjustment but who says his gap control and coverage are not liabilities, not saying crowders are not but atleast he can control the run.

I'd be fine if he were to take Crowders place for this game though. Just gotta stop their run.
 
He was in the right place at the right time nothing more. I am not saying he does or doesn't deserve to start, but that play should really have no bearing one way or the other.
 
i hope the gets more playing time. during the preseason and early in the season i was way down on him , but he has impressed as of late.
