"The contents of the Atlanta Falcons' game plan against the Green Bay Packers do not have to be complicated. It should really be a simple procedure: hand the ball to running back Michael Turner, spring him to the second level of the defense against one-on-one tacklers, and enjoy the bounty.

Turner, the Falcons' 5-foot-10, 244-pound running back is a squat target, all shoulder pads and knee pads as he plows to the hole. If he rushes for 100 yards, the passing game is a more substantial threat. If he churns first downs, it means that Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have to stew on the sidelines and watch a game of Monopoly by the home team.

"The way to really spark this team is to get the run game going," Turner said. "That's the easiest way to get us going.""
