Falcons: Thanks Michael Turner

[AUTiger7222]

Turner didn't do his part but it's hard when on almost every run he's getting creamed in the backfield before he can even get going. What is he suppose to do?

[juraitwaluzka]

Whether its his fault or not, he's just not effective, especially in that situation. It was basically just a waste of a play at that point.

We needed Michael Turner Today. He didnt show up... again...

I've been saying for two years going INTO this season that Turner has clearly lost any burst he had. He can't even get back to the LOS on at least a third of his carries now.

stay on the got damn bench, that's we he was supposed to do. He might not be the only problem with the run game but he sure as hell aint helping. Doesn't help that his fat ass can't catch a pass to save his fucking life. So one dimensional it aint even funny. running him has become a guaranteed waste of a down. I'm not saying abandon the run, but at least abandon the fat fuck. I'm cool with short passes to quizz acting as our run game.

Don't understand why we stopped using Jacquizz Rodgers in the running game the last 2 games. He had just 3 carries against the Cowboys and just 3 carries today.

If it costs us a loss today for the staff to realize that Turner is a waste of a play on 3rd/4th and short then I guess it's worth it. Maybe try someone else in that situation to see if it's any different. At least Rodgers has shown the ability to be able to make something out of nothing. To me it looks like Turner can only get going if there is a nice hole there waiting for him, but as deep as they have him lining up there almost never is.

Turner has just been on the down hill of his career the last 2 years. Yes he has been in the top of the league in rushing, but if I remember the stats correctly he only got his chunk yardage against terrible teams (someone correct me if I am wrong). I think it is time for Jaquizz to be our main horse, and for Snelling to be the short-yard guy.

I truly am grateful for what Turner did for us in our early development but now it's the time to move away from him and get a better production from the run game.

[Negatron]

after his performance YTD. I just can't see how we keep him in there for 15 plays a game. Give those plays to someone who is a play maker. He has proven he can no longer be productive. Time for someone with some passion, some one with something to prove. Turner just seems so lackadaisical and lackluster about everything. Dammit dude run with some fire. look at the way Ivory runs, thats how it should be done

[Jesus]

Should have gone to Snelling inside the 5
