Falcons Acquire RB Michael Turner, Cut Warrick Dunn

In what is a great move to shore up their backfield, the Falcons hired the best free agent HB available, Michael Turner. I always thought that the Falcons should try to get more out of Jerious Norwood because of his 5.5 average yards per carry, but teaming him with Warrick Dunn, who does mostly the same thing, wasn't the answer. Mike Smith is clearly trying to create the same kind of dynamic HB tandem he had in Jacksonville and he's gotten off to a great start. This will go a long way to giving their new QB some breathing room.
