Zdenali Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have heard that they want to give him 300 carries. What do you think about that. And will he be getting all the goal line work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteFalcon Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 thats a pretty good workload for a starting RB..where did you hear this? source? link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEORGIAfan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 bout 19. id say give Turner 20-25, Norwood 10-15, and Ovie 0-5 rushes( mostly 3rd and short or goal line) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zdenali Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 NiteFalcon (6/25/2008)thats a pretty good workload for a starting RB..where did you hear this? source? link? Michael Turner-RB- Falcons May. 13 - 1:23 pm et The Falcons plan to have a "running offense" under new coordinator Mike Mularkey, according to ESPN's John Clayton.If Bobby Petrino did something well, it was keep his receivers involved. Mularkey will almost certainly throw less. Michael Turner is a strong bet for 300 touches, while Roddy White approaching 83 catches again is unlikely.Source: ESPN InsiderRelated: Roddy White Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEORGIAfan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 theyhateme (6/25/2008)Doesn't sound like a lot of carries considering a "Power-Running" scheme....LT got 321 carries. willie parker got 315. the rest of the yards will go to Norwood.
