Dual RB way to go Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Someone said that there will quite a few RB's next year in the draft. SD might let him go this year for maximum return; cheap like a 2nd draft pick this year and 3rd next year. How did he play, how many games did you see, and what do you feel is his value in draft pick(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 He is a stud.... He is tough to tackle....has speed....and runs downhill The only thing I dont know about is if he can handle being "the man" over a full season since he has never done it with the Chargers...... For my money....I would like to see the bills trade back up into the first and take Marshawn Lynch..... Amobe Akoye and Marshawn Lynch would be a nice first day at the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLflutie7 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Someone said that there will quite a few RB's next year in the draft. SD might let him go this year for maximum return; cheap like a 2nd draft pick this year and 3rd next year. How did he play, how many games did you see, and what do you feel is his value in draft pick(s)? I've seen him play in many games because Flutie was with the Chargers. I noticed him in a preseason game as a rookie when I lived in Arizona. First he seems to have a great attitude. He runs with leverage and power and he's a starter in my book. He's also good at short yardage. Another running back that did well with San Diego was Jesse Chatman. And he just resigned with the Miami Dolphins. He probably won't play that much but he's a good backup. Cam probably remembers him from the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdelma Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Solid running back fairly thick body, One of the top backs out of college a couple years ago. Came from a small school. Tough to bring down. I saw him out there in SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLflutie7 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 so much for credibility Kiss my rear. The guy in preseason games made it look like man vs. boys. Then he got his touches in regular season and proved he could play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Amobe Akoye and Marshawn Lynch would be a nice first day at the draft WOW! I like it. Doubt it'd happen, but it'd make me happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I've seen him play many times. He's a tough downhill, north south runner. I like him to replace the A-Train and keep Willis. Makes a great one two punch just like in San Diego. Would love to have him as our 3rd and short RB. Price tag maybe too high though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikie2times Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 WOW! I like it. Doubt it'd happen, but it'd make me happy. I watched him in college for N. Illinois several times. I've probably watched about 10 games of him at the pro level. He hits the hole like a freight train and is very difficult to bring down. His build makes it very difficult to even get your arms around him. He's more quick then fast and agile, but he still has the speed to finish runs. He's far from ideal as a pass receiver which makes me question how good a fit he is for us. His arms are very short, his hands are small, and he doesn't catch or run routes very well. He would be a perfect fit for a power rushing team that doesn't utilize its backs as receivers. The Bills are looking for smaller athletic lineman, and a back that’s diverse enough to also play receiver. I don't see him being a great fit for us but he will do very well if he signs with the right team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Gun10 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 WOW! I like it. Doubt it'd happen, but it'd make me happy. What about A-train and Turner Thats a nice 1-2 punch although i still say the best can be Thomas Jones and A-train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fewell733 Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I think he's a very good player, but I think the price is too high for a team that needs as many 1st day picks as we can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did he play, how many games did you see, and what do you feel is his value in draft pick(s)? As others have noted, Turner is a strong, tough runner - he just hasn't been exposed to an everyday load. When , I've seen him run, he looks very good. 157 touches in 3 years ? http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/6913 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Long Beach Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yep. Not many carries. Of course he IS behind the single best runningback in the NFL bar none. So he's got a tired defense that he's facing, and a great Oline as well. All that aside, when I've seen him he looks mighty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual RB way to go Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Just announced SD will tender him the highest offer; gets 2.7 million next season unless a trade is made. SD said they would want Turner on the bench case LT went down with a injury. Smith likes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
