hawkeye Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Per NFL.com.Dolphins ILB Channing Crowder vs. Falcons RB Michael TurnerMiami and Atlanta were surprise teams last season, and these two players had a lot to do with that. Crowder made 113 tackles in the Dolphins' 10th-ranked defense and is very good against the run from his inside linebacker spot in the 3-4 scheme. His job will be to contain Turner, who ran for 1,699 yards and 17 touchdowns last season.Turner has very good vision as a runner and the speed to go the distance. The Falcons love to pound the ball -- they ran 126 times more than they passed in '08 -- and finished second in rushing offense last season. They were 8-0 in games in which Turner rushed for 50 or more yards in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
