secondly, I just read Pay Y's article on this (for what that's worth) and he says this move was done to show perform or risk your job. if that's the case, how is Franks still the PR? and Turner still getting the bulk of the carries?

enquiring minds want to know

more like a PR move... One they would have made before next season anyway.

Fix the depth chart at RB and Punt return... I'm with you!

Franks hasn't done much but it's not like he is Adam Jennings back there.

Edwards, surprised to see him cut but not surprised he hasn't been playing.

Turner, not getting cut, but hopefully something will change.

This year? No. The Falcons didn't have any turnovers in the Eagles game.

Wow, they have adopted my off season mindset early, upgrade or get out! This will not be the last move, I don't think, since Mr. Blank may have kicked some front office butt!

Blank wants that Super Bowl. I wonder if there was a coaches and staff only meeting with the boss on the plane ride home.

You may have called it! Nothing could have happened this fast with just Smith and TD discussing it.

Honestly, I think this is true, but I also think Blank is tired of hearing that we aren't a good team and getting disrespected by the likes of Lofton and Shanle. My guess is Blank has officially lit a fire under TD, Smitty, and the rest of the coaching staff's collective asses.

I fully expect to see Quizz get nearly the same number of carries as Turner against the Cardinals.

ok different game then. He recovered a fumble and got tackled from behind on about the 2 yard line. ok I've been looking, it was in the Raiders game.

NFL.com is showing he's recovered 2 fumbles. In doing some google research, he was fined 8K by the league for getting in a fight after a fumble recovery in the MNF game this year, he threw a swing at someone and knocked one of the replacement refs hats off. I don't remember seeing that during the game.

Last time we cut someone that was considered an integral part of our team mid-season, we went to the Super Bowl.

Okay, I don't really know if that's the last time, but Dan Reeves cut the hell out of Juran Bolden after his crappy play in that 1st San Francisco game. And it was a shock at the time because Bolden was considered to have a ton of upside, great speed and ideal size, but he just wasn't getting it done on the field. I'm calling this an omen.

We did cut Grady Jackson mid season, he was an integral part of the weight of our team
