Ledbetter, speculations Michael Turner will have less than 300 carries next season, according http://bit.ly/LXAZn<br /><br /> I do see Gonzo & White having a big year. Atlanta plays outside their home NFC South division, the AFC & NFC East divisions this season, plus the Bears + 49ers. They'll see many of the likely top 15 run stopping teams, in terms of yards per carry ave.: Bears, Eagles, Jets, Redskins, Giants & Patriots. Can Michael Turner have a big game running against any of these teams defenses?<br /><br /> Not sure I buy the conjecture of less than 300 carries for Turner in Atlanta next season, but there's a reason A. Gonzo was borrow in for a next season 2nd round draft pick. The Falcons will need a passing game to have a chance against most of those above teams with good running defenses. Turner running it alone will not be enough to win. One example, is last year's Tampa Bucs win on the road in Chicago against the Bears, where QB Griese threw the ball 67 times: http://bit.ly/pL3TU (NFL Game Center summary)Ryannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-21832838828010829532009-07-10T15:44:34.841-04:002009-07-10T15:44:34.841-04:00Clark Judge's article on CBS Sports is a very ...Clark Judge's article on CBS Sports is a very good read. And he's spot on about Derek Anderson. Anybody who watched the Browns last year knows that much of the problem was an offensive line that forgot how to play and receievers that couldn't catch. While Anderson had his problems, it's hard to be good when the team around you sucks - just ask Marc Bulger.<br /><br />Brady Quinn will open the season as the starter, but Anderson will get some starts.Dan Marinonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34425107.post-10491418488692992822009-07-10T13:24:30.776-04:002009-07-10T13:24:30.776-04:00I think it's funny that the teams who's be...I think it's funny that the teams who's been 'a QB away from...' for the last few years has 2 QBs on the top 10 backup QB list.<br /><br />Good ol' Minnesota Vikings. A joke at QB the last couple years now boasts a depth chart featuring Favre and two of the ten best backups (according to CBS, anyway) in the league.Peternoreply@blogger.com
