The burner is almost 240 lbs. But I am still not sure this is the best way to go considering he is a RFA
Sweet!!! I'd be happy with him as the feature, Houston as the short yardage and Washington as the 3rd down/change of pace/scat back
I just wanna say that if Mangini, and schott think that runningback is a position that we need to upgrade, who are we to question them. How can you look at the three back on our roster and be encouraged ? If we go dline,oline, in round 1 then basically the thing that comes to mind is can we get a back in the second round who we think can be better then Michael turner ? imho I don't think so. The guy has 4.4 speed, and hes 240 lbs. I'll give up our second rounder for him in a heartbeat. Mangini and schott knows best, i'll leave it up to them.
I just hope the Chargers are willing to listen to a trade for him. I fear they just want to slap that 1st round tender on him. I'd love to do that 2nd rounder trade for him.
I don't think there is anyway he goes for less than a 1st... For the Jets 2nd I would trade it in a heartbeat.
Lol, no way we get him w/o a 1st....He's a great talent but its not like the chargers don't know that.
No way. We have a golden opportunity to make 3 great picks early on. Two picks will go on linemen D & O andthe other an RB
Of course there is, he'll be tendered a 1st but a deal will be worked out for a 2nd. SD cannot keep him at a 1st rd tender salary level when they already have LT and teams know that plus w/o the skins being involved there isn't a team dumb enough to give up a 1st rd pick for him. I still think a 2nd rd pick is high but it's better thangiving up a 1 especially when we have 2 picks.
I'm very sceptical about this. I'd rather just draft a RB. But I haven't really seen much of Turner. I'll watch the game this Sunday and think about it. Hopefully he'll get a few carries. On a side note, what's with all the Dolt fans and their "Jets blow" comments? Are they still bitter about us beating them in the playoffs two years ago? :chargers:
ive said it before and ill say it again, if we can get him for a 2nd rd pick then do it in a heartbeat. hes big physical and amazingly fast, hence the nickname. hes not had any pounding so your getting a player who knows our system with almost no mileage on him. in fact I pray this gets done. this way we can get a 1st rd quality back in the 2nd rd and still address OL/DE/OLB with our other 2 picks in the first two rounds.
The Jets would leap at the chance to get turner for a 2nd....I wouldn't even mind giving up the 1st for him,if push came to shove.Turner is better,IMO,than any back in the '07 draft other than Peterson. I have the Ticket,watch the Chargers almost every week,so I've seen him ALOT (Tomlinson's been my keeper team stud in fantasy football for 5 years). He's strong,thick,and FAST. He has more talent than the majority of current NFL starters,again,in my opinion.He is a playmaker,which is exactly what we don't have on offense. He's barely 24 years old. I realize there's the question of "can he carry the load", but we do know he CAN perform at the NFL level,something we can't say yet about the upcoming rookies. I just seriously doubt we could get a player of Turner's skill/upside with a late-teens/early 20s draft pick. Again,if a deal could be worked out involving just one of the Jets' 2nds,that would be fantastic.
Turner being blocked by Tomlinson reminds me of Priest Holmes being blocked by Jamal Lewis a few years ago. If we can get Turner for one of our 2nd round picks, we have to do it. He can be a great RB.
