Out of bruiser Michael Turner and speedy Jerious Norwood, who is likely to gain 1,000 rushing yards in '08 and why?

Jerious Norwood has been frequently described by the coaching staff as a "change of pace" back.  As such, he probably won't get many more than 10 - 15 carries in a game.  That said, Turner is our between the tackles, bread and butter back, but he's got a second gear and can turn the corner.  Turner runs for 1800+ before Norwood ever runs for a kilo.

That is my answer as well. Turner was signed to be the between the tackles bruiser type of back. Jerious has the speed, but is the change of base running back. I believe Turner can gain 1200 yards and Norwood 700+ if both stay healthy. I just wanted to see what other fans thought.

I think michael turner can carry the load on offense, since they have a rookie quaterback starting this season. So turner should get over a 1000 yds rushing this year.
