After watching film of Michael Turner, Scouts Inc.'s Matt Williams sees "a back whose best days might already be behind him."
Turner averaged just 3.58 YPC against a string of mediocre run defenses in the final five games of last season, showing a lack of burst and explosion. As Williamson suggests, Turner's "arrow is going down" at age 29 after leading the NFL in carries in two of the past three seasons. Signs point to the Falcons opening up the offense under Matt Ryan, decreasing the rushing attempts. Turner is no longer a first-round fantasy pick.

I think Turner just needs to drop some pounds. Though I do think they may have ruined him during that 08 season when they ran him to death. I've always thought he was hugely inconsistent also.
