Is Michael Turner ready for the full load?

[dallascisco]

The Falcons seem to think so. Do you agree?

[JeRmZ]

It's all to early to tell ..... we'll have to see. But if I had to say I would say yes. A lot of people said the same about Chester Taylor after he left Baltimore and he did pretty well his first season in Minnesota

[htwheelz01]

I think he will do fine myself.

[OnePimpTiger]

I think he's ready, not sure if Atl is the best place for him to try though. As dysfunctional as that team is, it's going to be hard for any RB to really be great there for a while. But if any #2 back in the league can make it work, I think it's Turner. I'd say he would have been starting the past 2 or 3 years on most teams, he just happened to be behind the best RB in the league...

He`s ready for a full load with a good team .With the Falcons and no Passing game , he`ll get beat down , and fizzle out with the quickness !!!!

[snick103]

Nah it will be RBBC Norwood is to good thats what alot of teams are going to nowadays plus Turner is inj prone

[JeRmZ]

plus Turner is inj prone

serious?? I looked it up and this is what I've found ....

Dec 21, 2007 Shoulder
Sep 07, 2007 Ankle
Dec 13, 2006 Hamstring
Dec 06, 2006 Hamstring
Nov 29, 2006 Hamstring
Nov 24, 2006 Hamstring

now of course he didn't miss any playing time because during these games, LT was in and full healthy so Turner didn't have to worry about it. You can see that 4 of those injuries were actually 1 in reality when he was out for a stretch of 4 games with a tweaked hamstring.

[BoogieDownBerlin]

ill think he will be fine,

it`s a nice combo with him and norwood,

maybe they can use both at the same play, like bush and mcallister in 06 in new orleans they played well together ...

[dallascisco]

I hope the new coaching staff uses norwood more. Petrino never gave him more than 8-10 carries a game.

[blalock_collector]

I think he is.

I'll say 1,400 yards. 10 TD.
