k-train Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 If Turner is the reason the running game is so bad, why is it that Quizz looks even worse running the ball? Why is it that Snelling looks like crap, too? Shouldn't those guys be stepping up and rushing for 4-5 yards per carry through all these holes that Turner just doesn't see?They either ALL suck, or there is something else going on (ie. the o-line). So, if they all suck, why is it Turner is the only one getting any heat around here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethos Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) No one's talking because Turner gets the majority of the carries and he isn't performing well. Edited October 15, 2012 by Falconine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharma Initiative Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I agree. I want Quizz and Snelling to be good, but they just aren't....at least not yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus before I judge Quizz or snelling they would have to get the same amount of carries as Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheIdowu Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I will not say any player sucks or blows. . . . as a grown 29 year old man, i just cannot resort to letting something like that come out of my mouth. . . .seems childish and lame.I will say that there i snothing wrong with Turner, Snelling, or Jacquizz.I will say that our o-line seems to have forgotten how to run block.I will say that we forget we really do not have a great or very good o-line and have NOT for some time now.I will say we have a work in progress "patch it up" oline with a bunch of lunch pail journeyman. . . . they try their darnedest, but we need better run blocking consistently.Our fans trash the man who was the most integral part of our success . . . . . smdh .You dont just go from stud to seemingly dud overnight. . . . .

k-train Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 No one's talking because Turner gets the majority of the carries and he sucks.So then shouldn't those other guys be super fresh, and able to carve up opposing defenses?

Romfal Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I agree that Quizz is over-hyped by this board(not sure why?). Turner is a better RB than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLsuperfan247 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 because we expect more from our starting runningback. And people dont really expect much from low round draft pick backups. if they where more effective then we would be asking should they replace turner.

Ethos Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 So does McCown need to throw the ball 25 times before you can judge if he's a better QB than Ryan?Bad comparison. Ryan has been playing well this year therefore not justifiying any reason to replace him. Turner is garbage this year, justifiying a reason to replace him.

ATLsuperfan247 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 you what a runningback that could be better than turner you will have to reach in the first round of the draft to do so. A nice shinny new RB and MLB in one and two. will do fine i dont believe tony is going to retire i just dont believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFanSince1970 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I See A Lot Of Crying About Turner, But Why Is Nobody Talking About How Quizz And Snelling Blow, Too?Because none of the shiny happy people want to admit our Oline blows monkey balls trying to run block even average NFL players.This started at least a year ago. Long before Hill and Kutty.I have seen Turner, Snelling and even Quizz run much better for the ATL Football Falcons. Hard to run when you only get one, two maybe ten carries. Especially when you get popped at or behind the LOS by every defense you play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when you get popped at or behind the LOS by every defense you play.This is what I'm talkin about FFS70. 11 carries just ain't enough to get going. And the line started having problems when we didn't resign Dahl. They were a nice cohesive unit when he was here. We need a mauler on the line. Somebody that eats up Dlineman. Nobody could run behind our line. Especially with only 11 carries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butudontseeme™ Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 The o line blows. It seems that they can either run block or pass block well in a season, not both and right now not even doing particularly good pass blocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
