Falcons: Our own free agents

[zstipe]

I still think getting rid of Turner is a mistake. He definitely hits the whole slower than many smaller backs, but he is a bowling ball. He can shred defenses once he hits the second and third levels and get tough yards (unless its fourth and one and I'm not going to get into the play-calling miscues by Mularky). Additionally, he stays off the injury list and holds onto the football exceptionally.

I just think he is a very solid back. Now if letting him go frees up money for us to sign an IMPACT (and I stress that word) defensive player, I wouldn't mind it as much. However, we need to get someone as valuable as him on the defensive side if he's let go or I think we will regret it.
