Falcons running back Michael Turner was knocked out the game again Sunday, after taking another shot to his the same injured right ankle. Later, he was not sure the event was a coincidence. "I'm not in their minds so I'm not going to say what they are trying to do," Turner said. "That's what it looks like, but I've got to expect it. I was just hoping that my ankle was strong enough to take it." The Falcons were hoping to lean on him against the Jets because the swirling winds at Giants Stadium made passing difficult. "I tried to go, but I just got hit on it again," Turner said. "It's just a part of the game." Source: Atlanta Journal Constitution
come on man it's whiners like turner that give players a bad name he should not have been playing in the first place and to accuse another team of that is cat like tactic .:icon_sad::boohoo:
turner has never called anyone out, so why would you say whiners like turner?????? oh i see that is your first post lol you have alot to learn young man!
i would agree but the fact is football is a rough sport and injuries happen if he was not 100 % or even 80 % he should have been on the bench so he could healthy but to accuse a defense of dirty play with no proof seems like whining to me ! just my opinion for what ever its worth
Turner didn't snitch, he stated fact: "I'm not in their minds so I'm not going to say what they are trying to do," Turner said. "That's what it looks like, but I've got to expect it. I was just hoping that my ankle was strong enough to take it." It's well known that defenses will target an injury. If a QB has a bad hip or a RB has bad ribs, they've got targets on 'em. Turner acknowledged that his ankle was a target and that he expected it. Not even close to whining.
