If you really believe that, you missed a lot of football last year, Swift...
Doesnt surprise me that you're off-base again.
Let me know if you're into fantasy football for money or just straight up bets weekly. I could use some extra cash this seaon. hahaha

Koetter uses a very balanced offense man. These types of threads have to end. Its been talked about and rehashed. I'm tired of the same ol Ryan, TD, Turner and whatever nonsense. This is the squad we have and we may as well start realizing it soon.

BTW: That wasn't at you.

Aww C'mon KOG. You dnt have to do me like that man. I apologize that you're tired of seeing "these threads". Being that im not on here so often during the offseason, I wouldn't have known. I made this thread in reference from dude on Nfl network. Again turner is awesome, he's great. One of my favorite players. He is indeed VITAL. I just feel like he shouldn't be our whole Identity.

Some people make it sound like we are nothing without turner

our identity should be 'attack weakness' if a team does poorly against the pass, get Roddy, Julio & HD to make them pay. if a team is weak against the run, have Turner & nem ram it down their throat. and keep your foot on the gas until the game is over

tis all!

Best post i've seen. This is a great outlook on it

I know that an opinion is like a nose an everybody's got one, but these disrespectful opinions of Michael Turner really make me sick!  Turner is one the strongest foundations of which this team is built around. I've heard all the experts say that the NFL is now becoming a passing league. A team still has to run the ball in order not just  to maintain sustained drives, but to wear down defenses. Michael Turner is a tough, smash mouth type of running back that is capable of still being able to wear an opponents defense down. Even though he is 30, he's is far from being over the hill and down in the valley as far as his strength and athletic ability are concerned. Sure, at some point in his career he will have to hang up his cleats. But that time has not yet arrived and Turner has still got plenty of gas in the tank before Jacquizz Rodgers becomes the heir apparent to officially become the starter which will eventually happen when Rodgers maturation becomes complete.All this negative talk about Turner is not just disrespectful, it is unfair especialy given what he has done for the Falcons. Turner has shown both his mental and physical toughness when in 2010 he played the entire season with an apparent groin injury. What does that tell you about the man? It tells me that he is a lot tougher and more self sacrificing than anyone  on this these boards is willing to give him the RESPECT and credit that he rightfully deserves. Well, I've said what neede to be said of this great athlete and I just wish that people on these boards would give the man some love. GO TURNER AND GO FALCONS1

Well stated, my friend!

We have to be diverse.  If we're riding Turner into the playoff's we'll be one and done again.  We're going to have to ride our whole offense if we're going to win Week 22.

Prob could say the same about MR.   Both are equally important to this team success, it just sad that ppl downplay MT'S  importance to this to team's past regular season success in favor of the  more glamor position(QB).

I Hate When Ppl Say We'll Only Go As Far As Turner Takes Us


Sad, but QFT.

We seem more urgent for improved RG/C(MT) play than LT(MR)...MT did more with less last year.

MR's struggles are inherent to him(happy feet/late throws)...dropped passes(on receivers).

I can't imagine a team(4 seasons) that was more urgent to stop MR than MT...cold hard truth.
