Football Outsiders released their list of leaders in broken tackles. (I trust FO more than PFF)
http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2012/broken-tackles-2011
Michael Turner is #2 on the list in terms of pure numbers (Behind LeSean McCoy) with 42. Also good for 13.2% broken tackle per touch. In terms of percentages he ranked 10th. He was one of two players on the top 10 with over 300 touches (McCoy was #1). Something certainly worth noting, even I as a Turner "hater" have to respect this. Dude clearly still has something.
Even more impressive, Jacquizz Rodgers was #11 and lead all rookies with 19 broken tackles. 19 broken tackles in 78 touches (24.4%). If you ever needed more proof that we need to get him more touches, you have a great case right here.
