Size matters for Turner, Dolphins

 Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins' Patrick Turner isn't going to confuse anyone for Randy Moss, but at 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, he can make things a lot easier for veteran quarterback Chad Pennington. No matter how high Ted Ginn Jr. can leap, he can't match the value of a tall receiver on third-down and red-zone situations. Turner has impressed folks in Miami...

Turner will be a great target inside the redzone. When real estate gets smaller you need vertical space and he is exactly what they needed. Had Turner been in the very first game of the season last year the phish would have won that game. The final play was a fade in the corner of the endzone to Ginn and the pass was taken away from him by a more talented and taller defensive back. I think that scenario would have played out differently with Turner...

Adam is right on about time of possession, move the chains and take advantage of red zone chances. 6 ft 5 and 220 lbs is very important.
