I like Turner and he’s been a very good back but I look for the Birds to make a move away from him. I don’t want to sound as though I’m putting him down but many times if Turner gets hit before he has been moving for a few yards he seems to go down pretty easy. He’s looks to be getting bigger and slower and he’s not that great at catching the ball coming out of the backfield nor moving side to side. He’s limited in what he can do and it seems to be getting more limited. It will get more limited. He’s getting older and it would be good for the team to move on IMO, maybe even a little early than it would be do it one year too late. I wish we could find another William Andrews type guy. No matter what happens Turner has served the Falcons well up to this point. If he stays I believe his role will be reduced and that might not go over very well. Did you see the look on his face as he stood on the sidelines as we were getting our tails kicked in the Giants blowout when we went for it on 4-1 with him not in the game? That’s probably how well he would take the reduced role he might be playing.
