Mike Smith has indicated that Michael Turner will remain with the Falcons for the 2012 season. Turner's effectiveness has decreased and he has a $5 million salary coming up. "We want to keep [Michael] as our feature back, but we need to make sure we some of the other guys carries as well," the coach said. "I think the thing we have to do as Michael gets a little older is to start putting him on a pitch count in terms of the numbers of carries."
