I think he's better suited for the backup role, but he could definitely start. He's got the size and stature to do so.

But they are the same type of running back..... Both bruisers, one just has a little more speed than the other.

Same type of running back, but they are actually a lot more different than you would expect. Snelling has the ability to come out of the back field and make huge plays. Turner is a strict runner. He doesn't have the hands for the passing game. Snelling does. What do you do when you're expecting a pass, Snelling is in the game. It's a pass to the flats, and all of a sudden because you are in your nickel set, you have a locomotive running full motion at two scrawny cornerbacks?

It took Turner half of the carries to hit 75 yards. Turner could have very well had a career day if he'd have stayed in.

I'm not trying to take anything away from Snelling, I just think we beat a team that isn't that good right now and now some have higher expectations because of it.
