Action Jackson Flyin To Atlanta

After the Atlanta Falcons parted ways with running back Michael Turner earlier this off-season, their first priority was to find Turner's replacement. The Falcons found a good replacement by signing Steven Jackson to a 3 year, $12 million contract. The 29 year old Jackson ran for 1,042 yards and 4 touchdowns for ther St. Louis Rams last season. It was the 8th consecutive season that Jackson ran for at leasr 1,000 yards. Jackson showed some signs last season that he can still be a starting running back, even though 7th rounder Daryl Richardson got quite a bit of touches too. Jackson can also be effective in the passing game as well, something that Michael Turner couldn't do. Jackson's 4.1 yards per carry was better than Turner's 3.6 last season, but will he still be the same Steven Jackson from 3-4 years ago?
