    The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the Falcons will likely use running back by committee in 2013, but the report says "the committee can’t include (Michael) Turner." He struggled in 2012 with a career-low average of 3.6 yards per carry.

    yep, 31 year old running backs with a lot of miles aren't in high demand. Rodgers was pretty good and if they can get a complementary back for him, they should be o.k.

    I dunno that Rogers is an every down back, or even a feature back. Pretty sure they will draft someone early, not really any great options in FA. Maybe Reggie Bush or Shonn Green, but I'm not a fan of either of those options. Or they could just go with a Rogers/Jason Snelling combo.

    I've felt all season that Rodgers should be getting at least 75% of the carries down there.

    I think Rodgers/Snelling wouldn't be bad, but they could bring somebody in to share the load with Jacuzzi.
