More on Norwood/Turner

[Oxford Godfrey]

From Terrence Moore of the AJC. You have to be happy with this comparison, as Jacksonville absolutely punished teams the last two years with physical play and change-up RBs.

New Falcons coach Mike Smith wants a power running game, especially since he was used to seeing one as the defensive coordinator with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Whereas the Jaguars have Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew, the Falcons now have Turner as Taylor and Jerious Norwood as Jones-Drew.

Although when Griffith and Mcreary were in Atlanta, it was a very maroon backfield.</p>

then that should be a potent combo. turner should be productive as the "feature back". if they really use norwood like MJD, he'll get plenty of touches (carries, screens, throws to flat). that could be exciting to watch. hopefully they'll find a decent QB somewhere. they may have one, but i haven't been paying much attention.
