It would still be my plan to use Pollard in the slot because he's a proven NFL contributor. However, there will be times when Pollard will be out of the game or will be in the backfield giving Elliott a rest. I'm not sure having Lamb, Tolbert and Washington out there as the three receivers during that time will be a better option than having Turpin in place of either Tolbert or Washington.
Then you're not putting the best WRs on the field.

Rookie udfa's typically sign 3 yr deals. Doesn't matter if they don't make the team.
He's not a rookie this year, he's coming from the USFL. If you don't care if he makes the team then why even bother to reply?

The problem with signing a rookie to a one year deal is...he might turn into something. Then when you have to re-sign him, he'll want more money. If they signed him with no guarantees and no signing bonus, then it won't cost us anything to cut him. And if he does turn out to be something then we have him for two more years at a good price.
He's not a rookie, he's coming from the USFL. If he turns out to be something there is nothing wrong with paying him for that. Stop trying to screw players that deserve to get paid more.

He's a rookie in the NFL.
And if you want to build a dynasty the first thing you must do is beat the salary cap. Because the cap will rip a team apart in four or five years.

He's never played in the nfl, that makes him a rookie.

That's stupid and you are naive for believing everything you read unless it's me. Was Warren Moon a rookie when he signed with the Houston Oilers even though he played 6 years in the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos?

Yes, yes he was.

You can't have Pollard and Elliott out there together at all times. They have to take breaks, so you put the next best out there.

Moving the goal post now? Do you have to have Zeke and TP hypothetically taking breathers at the same time to make your point? That's weak, my friend.

This kid is Tyreek Hill. Just get him the ball and he finds a crease or makes one. If he can stay healthy and available. No off field stuff, he will be a nice addition for us on Special teams. Gives us some juice we lack.

There was a post earlier that talked highly of this dude and I wanted to ask questions but got distracted. So, I remember this dudes name when discussing him during his college years. Watching that video he’s got moves and enough speed to make a lot of exciting plays. Why didn’t he score more as a wr at tcu?

I'm not sure what you're smoking, but your reading comprehension is lacking. If either Elliott or Pollard is not on the field, then someone has to be on the field instead of the one who isn't out there. They do not have to take breathers at the same time for someone else to be in the game.

My preferred lineup at the time would include both of them being out there at the same time, but when Elliott goes to the sideline for a break, it will be Pollard in the backfield and either three receivers and a tight end, two receivers and two tight ends, etc., out there with him. Same when Elliott is out there, with a few other packages mixed in as well.

When we go three receivers with Pollard in the backfield and Elliott on the sideline, our receiver choices with Gallup sidelined are Lamb, Washington, Tolbert and Turpin. I can't say right now that Washington and Tolbert are better options for that than Turpin.

Got it now or do you need me to use less words. I never moved the goal post, if you'll look at what I said to you the first time. You just couldn't see it through the smoke. I'm hopeful that we'll have Elliott and Pollard on the field together a lot this year, but there will be times when we only have one of them out there, and during those times, we need to find out what our best personnel options might be.

Bad QB play.

Ok. Expand please. I have a lot of respect for what tcu has been able to do for a long while now. They’ve had a lot of exciting guys. I can see on those vids he can return a punt. What can we expect at wr? If he’s just a STs guy I’m cool with that because he’s got some juice.

This guy's name is making me question if I have dyslexia because I can't not see it as Turnip

He can take hits, see 1:30 time marker.


Anyone actually watch him knows. He took plenty hits and fought through. The catch he made to get to 500yds last season is an example that's well known... In fact, it's probably the one you refer to in your vid (can't watch it right now lol).

My guess is, scheme they ran at TCU. In the right scheme, he can be dynamite. Right now I will settle for a return guy that is at least a threat. This might prove to be a great steal. James Washington is my guy but I am starting to become concerned with his oft injured issue he has. He does us 0 good if he is always hurt and unavailable. Kid needs to get off the training table fast and get up to speed. Hes already missed all of mini camp and now he is struggling to stay involved. Not a great sign.

Turpin lead the USFL in receiving yards with 540 yards in ten games, so he can catch the ball.

1 Lamb
2 Gallup
3 Tolbert
4 Washington
5 Turpin *
6 N. Brown

* (punt return skills easily prompts Turpin's chance at making roster)
