Atlanta's Turner not solely responsible for fumbles

The newest member of our Cowboys crew, Gerry Fraley, notes this off a conference call this morning. Atlanta coach Mike Smith danced around the issue of whether running back Michael Turner has developed a fumbling problem. Turner and Houston's Steve Slaton are tied for the league lead in fumbles this season with four. Turner has six fumbles in his last 10 regular-season games. Smith said the fumbles are an offense-wide issue and not solely Turner's fault. ``It's not just the guy carrying the ball,'' Smith said. ``It's the guys blocking. When somebody comes in and hits the ball-carrier, we have somebody who was responsible to block that guy. We've got to do a better job as a complete unit. It's something we have talked about.'' Turner has not run as well this season, his second with the Falcons. He has averaged 3.5 yards per carry, a full yard below last season's average.
