Falcons Sign Turner - Page 3

Dunn will be cut most likely, even though I like the guy a lot as a player and a person he has lost more than a step.

But I believe his blocking and receiving abilities will allow him to catch on with another team. Dallas maybe? I'm not sure how well Barber can block or catch. Dunn should be successful in a Kevin Faulk type role.

i loved Dunn. he was an awsome player but an even better person.

i hope a team picks him up and he does good

Barber does it all he just lacks long speed and he needs to adjust his energy output if he's gonna be the starter. He will be tired if he runs like a madman all the time.

As do I. It just looks like it is the end for Warrick though. He has always relied on his quickness, and now it's just not there anymore.

As for the draft I hope Atlanta takes Jake Long. He and Blalock would be a dominant left side and would plow the way for Turner. Chris Redman would serve as the stop-gap for whomever the team took in round 2.

and imagine if we also signed Maurice Williams, we would likely cut Forney and Wiener and be left with this:
Long - Blalock - McClure - Clabo - Williams

Dunn is all but gone, he will be paid top 5 HB money next year and 3 millions is saved by cutting him.

Dunn is an awesome guy. he does so much for his community. I like him alot. But I'm sure glad that Turner is out of my division.

Wow. That is pretty exciting.

Too bad the chance of Long falling to us at 3 is decreasing and decreasing.

So far, I want:

1. Jake Long
2. Matt Ryan
3. Sedrick Ellis
4. Glenn Dorsey
