Abe Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well i guess with all the Turner talk Snelling once again is the odd man out and will only be a special team guy. i wonder what will become of Petrino's picks now that he is gone. He supposedly had an eye for talent so lets see who will make it this year without his favor... That will be an interesting sub-plot for me. Figured i would talk about something beside the free agent stuff since we are in limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sporkdevil Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Snelling should stay. Many teams keep three RB's (well, some do). Snelling as a short yarder, Turner as an everydown, and Norwood as a blow it right up their ##### back.Snelling should stay, I have been impressed with him everytime I have seen him take the ball. He can really be utilized, and from what I understand about our new OC, Snelling could show up for some cool plays. At least for depth, Snelling should stay in Atlanta.

Alot...I could definately see Snelling sticking around in a kind of H-Back role. I don't know how well he catches, though. I know that he can play Halfback and Fullback....and I think he is a pretty solid backup. I think we would keep him as versitle depth.

pured-hallfan Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 You need three running backs what this means is Dunn is out the door because he is the oldest the other three our young and could give us a great backfield for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicker Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If we sign Turner, then my guess is that Dunn restructures and gets to stay. Snelling will be on the practice squad unless one of the RBs gets hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 i know we are going to keep him. I was hoping we would see a little more of him though. We do need a backup runningback and fullback so there is a need for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faninmd Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I see a lot of potential in Snelling. He did well when we put him in last year. If one RB goes down Snelling will get the job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boley59 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 snelling is a good #3 and short yardage back. other than that id rather see turner or norwood carry the load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
