Speaking at the Scouting Combine Saturday, coach Mike Smith indicated Michael Turner will be back with the Falcons in 2012, but with a reduced role.
"We want to keep (Turner) as our feature back, but we need to make sure we some of the other guys carries as well," said Smith, adding that he wants Turner on a "pitch count in terms of the numbers of carries." Turner has been bandied about as a release candidate after displaying alarmingly little explosiveness for much of 2011, but remains in the Falcons' plans. He could be "asked" to take a pay-cut from his scheduled salary of $5 million, however. With only Jacquizz Rodgers under contract behind Turner, the Falcons are in the market for a running back.
