roddyyoudaman Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 For the 2012 season, how early can we sign/resign players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel City Falcon Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I think it starts March 13th... But I think that teams have exclusive rights to talk to their free agents either beginning now or a few weeks prior to March 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of God Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Turner Led in yds, 11th in ypc with 4.5, 5th in TD's, 2nd ypg, 3rd in 1st dwn, 3rd longest runs, 3rd in 20+ runsNow that's NFC, what do you want? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 You boys need to look at a few of the stats on Mike Turner. 1st downs, 20+ yds, TD's, ypg, ypc, and see who is ahead of him. Sure we ran him too much, but with MM gone he will get less carries and do MORE damage. MM's way of running is archaic and we all know it. Let see what he does with Koetter.Would like to see Turner, Quizz, and Snelling but Snelling probably won't be back so it will probably be Nance or someone else, but if the FO knows what's good they keep Turner. BTW Brandon Jacobs is 29 as well. You don't toss powerbacks like you do scatbacks. Especially when they start playing with more power. Turner also isn't a huge cap hit with no returns.

FalconFanSince1970 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Free agency starts on March 13th so we get to listen to a bunch of far fetched free agency scenarios for at least six more weeks. Then another 4 weeks after that while TD figures out which Dunta or Ray Ed to bring in. Then of course another 20 weeks after that while he contemplates which DBs he wants to bring in two days before the season starts.And by the way, KOG is right. Yall boys are flat out clueless on Michael Turner. Trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Radical Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Turner did gas out towards the end of the season(outside of the Bucs game, at their tackling), but I believe it had to do with a groin injury. There was a 5 game stretch there where he didn't break 76 yards, had less than 50 twice, and had a long of 16 yards. Personally, I think he needs to be scaled back to about a 15 carry per game average(250 for the season). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are misleading until they can be used to validate YOUR point.Nice to see you are completely failing to look at their production in the passing game as well.If we had the chance to drop turner and get McCoy, Forte or AP you better believe we'd do it. You'd be a fool to think otherwise. Edited January 28, 2012 by RubberDucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou_Dog Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 AP and McCoy are both better but Blounte? really? and what has he done again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 AP and McCoy are both better but Blounte? really? and what has he done again?Really for me its not about who is better than Turner, but rather who is better and available? I see a few guys who are good, but are they so much better than Turner that you drop Turner this year and pick up a more expensive FA. He's not even hitting the cap that hard and still showing production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) What?http://espn.go.com/n...pe/2/league/nfcI don't understand what you're trying to prove with this, unless this post is strictly aimed at Blount. You can't honestly tell me that McCoy, AP, and Forte are worse than Turner. McCoy sat out the last game and finished 39 yards back and and 6 TDs ahead of Turner, even with Turner padding his stats against the terrible Bucs with 2 TDs and 172 yards. As for AP and Forte, they both got injured in the middle of the season. Edited January 29, 2012 by Sven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's familiar with the team and the QB, I have never seen what you guys are talking about. Those guys will cost WAY more that Turner is right now. I don't know what they are going to do, but one has to wonder what the agenda is here. Don't say wins because we won more games when Turner had 21 or more carries and not less. So you tell me.

Jah Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I just want a running back that can be effective in the passing game. I love Turner. I am grateful for what he is done, but this offense needs to move into the 21st century. Regardless, he will most likely be here next year. If we improve the line and reduce his carries, he should be a pretty valuable asset, even with his limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirty Bird Nation ® Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 AP and McCoy are both better but Blounte? really? and what has he done again?Adrian Peterson is broken now. I couldn't find the whole video of his injury, but it was terrible. After he got hit his leg was spazzing around on the turf . He tore his MCL and ACL and other small bones. I doubt he'll be the same again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
