MICHAEL TURNER OVERDRIVE
98
Taking care of business.
25
that's my name & motto! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17419587/MTO.jpg

So Turner is basically Nelson from that Simpsons episode?
83
1000 points to whoever makes a GIF of that.

Beautiful!
7
Any way to get that, with the cut from the actual game of Turner inserted?
1
The episode is called 'Bart Star' There...I did my part.
23
Ha! That's an awesome title.
6
Golden age of the Simpsons, friend.

61
I will never get tired of that gif.
35
What in the holy hell is the context of this GIF. Seen it a million times and I still don't know.
19
To carry on the rumor, I read in a different thread that it's from him practicing QB drills pregame and he was just foolin around. I'd still like to see the expanded video!
9
I am going to miss that man.
8
They need this option in Madden. Michael Turner, ever the innovator.
51
If it's in the game, it's in the game.
31
"We'll now take the time to mention the name of the company that makes this game, the only point of which being to keep chris collinsworth from rambling inanely for 15 seconds.
3
"Boy, I don't know what he was thinking there."
FUCK YOU, CHRIS. FUCK. YOU.
13
I HATE when he criticizes my QB for running first when he should have looked to pass. IT'S CALLED VICTORY FORMATION, CRIS.
11
Seems more like a Blitz feature. Turner is a damn monster.
27
But I doubt Turner huffs n puffs after plays like the players in Blitz.
Awesome move, geez.
4
There was an animation similar to this in ESPN NFL 2K5 (best football game ever).
Your running back would shove slow blockers to the side.
2
hahaha... if you want video, this is all I can find
http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-thursday-night-football/09000d5d82518a50/Jaguars-vs-Falcons-highlights
it begins at 1:30
28
Alternatively, just this play with the announcer about to crack up at the end: http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-fantasy/09000d5d825181b8/RB-Turner-16-yd-run
14
FUS RO DAHHHHHHH
9
is this like a skyrim reference or something? I keep seeing it brought up, often with the "arrow to the knee" joke
5
Yes, it's one of the "Shouts" you get to use. It basically sends out a blast of air, throwing whatever you aim it at backwards about 100 feet.
5
It starts at 1:30***
4
GOD DAMMIT MONSTA. Thanks. That's what I had originally.
3
Haha I noticed that reading through...but felt like maybe I could save someone else some confusion =D
2
Were they chanting "ALA" "BAMA" or "ATLANTA" "FALCONS"
because if they were doing an ala-bama, that's pretty fucking cool.
1
2:30*
-3
Ah, fixed. Thank you.
3
I'm pretty sure that correction was wrong... For me it started around 1:30.
10
thanks

This was amazing, never saw anything like it before. We looked at eachother in the stands like, "Did Michael Turner really just throw Weems into the air?"
27
My jaw dropped as well. At first I thought he was just in the way. That was not the case...
4
Sort of. It looks like Weems is trying to soften the collision by hopping, and turner just propels him forward. Awesome.
4
with one arm. ONE ARM!
2
Weems now knows what it feels like to be thrown in front of a bus
18
No it was Michael Turner. Jerome Bettis is retired.
44
haha. I hate the steelers as much as the next man, but you gotta love jerome bettis
10
Did you know that Super Bowl XL was in detroit, and that is where Jerome Bettis is from? /biterhawksfan
10
how is this relevant?
1
Bitch, I'm a bus
1
He doesn't actually need talented blockers, he just needs bodies to throw around while he's running.
It's like Mario Kart and the blockers are his red turtle shells.
18
Who was that he was "assisting"?
13
Weems, our 4th string WR and KR / PR.
20
Not as good of a WR but LETHAL on special teams.
Apparently good as a throwing block too
15
Hell yeah. He looked really shifty last night returning, too. I hope he breaks one soon. Maybe in the playoffs, again.
10
The change in where you kick from has really screwed special teams this year. Weems rarely gets to run which really hurts the Falcons. He is one of our best weapons.
1
He was a probowler for special teams, not as a returner. He's great in kick coverage.
7
Ah. Thanks for the clarification.
2
He was making business decisions.
11
I wish I could upvote this twice.
9
Go right ahead: http://www.reddit.com/r/falcons/comments/nfa37/play_of_the_week/

I cannot describe how great this is..
9
Move bitch, get out the way!
9
They actually play this song in the Dome for Turner. The only suck thing is it's the Walmart-ized version.
6
Move... witch?
4
Just "Move...Get out the Way." They drop the beat.
2
He's a pure ANIMAL.
6
I've never seen a team dominate anyone like the Falcons dominated the Jags last night. It was seriously impressive. Offense, defense, just an all-around ass-kicking.
And this is coming from a Packer fan who watched all of the Packers-Raiders game last Sunday...
6
The most all around ass kicking this year was the Saints and the Colts, but who can't beat the Colts this year hahaha
5
I thought you were going to say the Rams/Saints.
/lettheshittalkbegin
1
Man, I wish you saw the Patriots 59-0 game vs the Titans a few years ago.
THAT was a game that only one team had a hope in.
4
Was that the game where it was snowing like crazy, and Welker did a snow angel?
5
I believe so
3
That's one of the beastliest things I've ever seen.
5
Tied with marshawn lynch for beast mode?
5
nah don't go overboard buddy.
5
wasn't that good, but very beastlike move.
5
He's a meanie
4
Michael Turner: "Nothing like throwing the old human skin around..." Coach: "Don't you mean pig skin?" Michael Turner: "You heard me."
4
"Weems, I choose you!"
Full Disclosure: I am a Saints fan. This should be nominated for play of the year. My nipples got hard watching this.
Also, Fastball Special.
lol
Poor Eric :(
