Turner the Burner overweight?

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.

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.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Not sure he is in the top ten but: His 9.99 RAS score, second among 1,512 tackles since 1987, isn't a gimmick. You see every bit of that explosiveness translate to the field when he kicks and slides in pass sets. NFLDraftBuzz

      Legette as a TE

      Ya win some, ya lose some. Legette looks to be a loss.  The time for disappointment has passed. I expect nothing, so if I get something I will be surprised.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By TD alt · Posted

      I got called into HR one time, as they were doing their research after a verbal altercation that I had with another employee. He was the one that started the sh¡t and had the nerve to go to HR. Well, I did the meeting, & the manager gave me her card & said if there was anything else I wanted to say regarding the investigation, to contact her. I thought about it later that day, so I used our company email and told her that I was willing to take a lie detector test, and that if he and his two friends were willing to do the same, once it was determined that they were lying and that I was telling the truth, then they would have to be punished accordingly. Funny thing is, after that, I never heard from her again, or anything about the investigation. It's like it never happened.  Anyway, yeah 89 isn't doing himself any favors with this one. He wants to fight with a guy old enough to be his dad because of Rivera's lack of communication, even if there was some perceived hypocrisy going on. That's just not a good look.
