darin3 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hmm, as someone who invested a pretty penny in him in a dynasty league, I don't know what I think of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 this is like their backfield's fantasy perspective being suicide bombed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 So much for Norwood Yeah I was going to mention him and Dunn in my reply. They never really gave Norwood a chance... I mean, Dunn was reliable but by no means a game-changer. They thought Norwood could be a stud, but never gave him the opportunity to shine. Guess they knew/saw something we don't. Now, the question is, what happens to him? And Dunn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egret Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 So much for Norwood Yup. Turner seems more like Norwood than Dunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Yup. Turner seems more like Norwood than Dunn. Right, they're all rather short-ish, but Dunn's just a bit lighter.... although he does run between the tackles well for his weight/build.

kpholmes Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 More importantly, this means McFadden drops to Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunn has always been a much tougher runner than his reputation showed. Turner and Norwood seem to make their bigger plays on the outside. Dunn usually makes his on the inside. I think Turner can be successful running inside. Norwood must have done something to upset the coaches and personnel staff last year.

Savage Beatings Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oakland: Fargas, Jordan, Rhodes, Bush, McFadden? Atlanta: Dunn, Norwood, Turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oakland: Fargas, Jordan, Rhodes, Bush, McFadden? Atlanta: Dunn, Norwood, Turner Jordan and Rhodes won't be in Oakland long. Don't know how it's gonna happen but I see them rolling with McFadden with Bush as the "bigger" back and Fargas as CoP.  I think Dunn may retire. Or Norwood could just be relegated to third string  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalboyd Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Oakland: Fargas, Jordan, Rhodes, Bush, McFadden? Atlanta: Dunn, Norwood, Turner   Now thats alot of RB doing nothing but collecting a check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpholmes Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 (edited) Oakland: Fargas, Jordan, Rhodes, Bush, McFadden? Atlanta: Dunn, Norwood, Turner  Jordan is expected to earn way more than he is worth this year, and Rhodes didn't please anyone last season. They are both off the roster soon enough.  Oakland will have McFadden/Fargas RBBC until Bush proves he can do anything, then he'll get thrown in the mix.

piratesownninjas Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 As a long time Michael Turner owner in my dynasties I'm ecstatic to finally see this pay off with him in a starting roll... There is no way Jake Long slips past three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budlitebrad Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 It's an improvement for Turner, but he'll have to spend a year behind that lack of a line with a mediocre QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which they very well could address in the draft... Jake Long could be there, and that would be a hugh step in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Dunn will probably be cut.....Turner is a good fit for the power running game that atlanta will look to employ this yr....Norwood is the one who takes a big value hit....and on the other side sproles probably picks up some value as he will most likley see more duty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffraff Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Good signing. Turner will help put bodies in the seats and sell some spamshirts. Drafting Ryan will help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piratesownninjas Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Good signing. Turner will help put bodies in the seats and sell some spamshirts. Drafting Ryan will help too. I really think that Dorsey, Ellis or Long could be the pick as well... Mike Smith's philosophy is to build a d line from inside out... Dorsey or Ellis could be his start at building back up... Jake Long is a franchise tackle, and those are hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
