Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4395927, member: 34"] I mentioned a few times in the game threads and in a couple of these topics Turner hunts for the sidelines when he takes off running. Several times this year he intentionally went straight sideways to get out of bounds to avoid any contact. And more than once turning up field and sliding or taking a hit would have gotten 2-3 more yards which were valuable yard type plays- say setting up 3rd and 4 instead of 3rd and 7. I am becoming convinced the coaches don't want him taking unnecessary contact. On the last drive when he kept it and ran up the middle. He initiated the contact with the LB and DB and drove them back and extra 3-4 yards after contact. He has the strength to do that, I just don't think the coaches want him doing it until he has to do it. He's now gone three games and 60 passes without an INT. He definitely does not force the ball and you are correct he isn't phased or overwhelmed getting off snaps. It seemed like the last drive the coaches told him to win the game instead of managing the game. [/QUOTE]
