J-Wall Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 We should start Turner and give him his carries and see how it goes. We will say 10 touches and if he can't find success then we go to Rodgers and have him do the bulk of the load and spell Quizz with Turner/Snelling coming off the bench. Quizz has shown he can take the pounded and run hard up the middle when called on. He is very reliable out of the back field can pick up blitzes good enough imo and if the coaches say that's his area of needed improvement then we can put in Snelling on 3rd and med-long. That's how I believe the rotation should go. Start Turner see if he has the hot hand early and if not have him come off the bench to give breathers to Quizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brasky Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 What RB situation? I wish some of you would get it through your head that Turner is the starter and will be, barring injury, for this entire season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Wall Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Never said Turner should start *******. I said I'm sick of watching Turner have 8 rushers for 16yds and then you have Quizz or Snelling come in and their first run the get 10 then 7 then 5 and we go back to Turner for 2 yards. Chiefs run D isn't imposing and he struggled he is slow to hit the hole very slow no pop. If you knew the game of football you would see my point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashbrown3 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I really dont care who the guy in our backfield is. But I do know one thing. They better be able to catch the ball and do something with it.... That is all... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When have we ever seen Turner's backups average over 7 ypc?!?Perception is not always reality. The Chiefs shutdown our run game, regardless of who was in the backfield.If you knew the game of football, you would know RB stats depend on run blocking.

J-Wall Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 This is a totally different offense then we jave had the last 4 years. Mark my words we would be better off doing what the Saints,Pats do and rotate all 3 rbs in the game almost to equal carries. Turner what he once was. Different times different results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tv_football_fan Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Where were you guys at when the game was actually on?Turner had 11 carries for 32 yards a 2.9 avg and a long of 11.Rodgers had 7 carries for 22 yards a 3.1 avg and a long of 6.Snelling has 2 carries for 5 yards a 2.5 avg and a long of 3.I dunno what game you watched but it weren't the Falcons game.

Knight of God Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Turner gets disrespected a lot for a guy who has done so much for this team and the Atlanta Community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbird84 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The only rb situation we have is that we have a good amount of quality ones who are all different type of players. If we want our run game to be effective, whoever is getting the carries, we have to block better for them it's a team effort to run the ball just like it is to pass the ball it ain't just on the carrier. Let me ask this, how many times did you see Turner get hit in the backfield on Sunday? How can ANY RB be effective like that? Or how can they be effective when they hit nothing but an O-lineman's back? Seriously man ya'll trip out too fast around here. Last time we played KC our run game thrashed them badly so they were keyed in on it this time. We got alot of options on offense so whoever the opposing defense just has to pick their poison on what they want to stop cos they can't stop it all.

J-Wall Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Turner got hit a lot in the backfield but that's part of my point other really good backs don't let that happen. When you see A.P. Foster mjd ect get hit in the backfield they don't just give up Turner does now watch throughout the season Turner doesn't hit the hole with authority like others. I wsnt someone to hit the hole with aggression not just tippy toe waiting for it to open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychic Gibbon Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Why is everyone obsessed with Rodgers and Snelling? Rodgers is not a starter quality player. Never was and never will be. Snelling, on the other hand, was useless last season and hasn't shown that to be changing any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
