Turner the Burner overweight?

I think his best days are behind him.

I certainly wouldn't say that Turner is overrated by any means. He is a very productive back and has been for years. I remember when he became a FA, I was hoping that we'd sign him. That obliviously didn't work out, although I'm more than happy with D Will and J Stew (hoping that J Stew stays of course). Turner seems to have our number everytime we play each other. With our top defensive players back and adding in last years best tackling LB in college, I hope we can finally stop him and shut Falcon fans up.

He hasnt been a factor against good teams the last two seasons, this isnt anything new.

Maybe they'll change his nickname to Turner the Cheeseburger.

Ive been calling him cheeseburger turner since the foulcunts signed him!!!

Last year at home he had 21 carries for 76 yards 3.6 avg, it was our shitty pass-defense that couldn't stop Ryan.

didnt he get injured by half time in that game? i went to that game but dont remember for a fact.

i'm not sure about 2011 but that definitely happened in 2009. snelling killed us after turner went out but we survived thanks to a missed chipshot field goal and matt ryan throwing an awful interception right into i think richard marshall's arms when they had the ball at midfield with 4-ish minutes to go.

Happened in '09.

I remember that game TOO well. First, because we whooped Atlanta. Second, Turner just went bonkers. On just 9 rushing attempts, he ran for 111 yards. But don't get it twisted. It wasn't on some long run that makes that total misleading. No, he was tearing off 10 yarders and so just about every time he got the ball. We couldn't stop him. Thankfully he got injured or else we might lose that game. It was actually weird too because with Hollis Thomas, our run defense had gotten so much better around this time. Even shut down Adrian Peterson, well at least compared to how he does against most other teams (you can't truly shut down AD).

This guy is a Panther killer though. In just 8 games, he has ran for 783 yards, 4.55 YPC, and 11 touchdowns. And since he has joined Atlanta, they are 6-2 against us.

Maybe it's just the food in the South. So good that some people e.g. Turner and Otah can't stay away from it.

Too bad they don't have Bojangles down in ATL.
