Turpin's 22.36 mph top speed last night was fastest recorded by a ball carrier this season

Get him the ball in space more.

Belichick was singing Turpin's praises last night on the Manningcast.

If Belichick were here, I think we'd be using Turpin a lot like Amendola, Welker or Edelman, with lots of rub routes to make it difficult for DBs to keep track of him among the giants.

It’s shocking they can’t find ways to get him the ball more and let him use his speed in open space.

Since the NFL have for all intents and purposes destroyed the value of Kickoff Returns, they need to find more ways to use him

Most NFL teams try to get the ball into the hands of their playmakers and speed guys... The Cowboys... try to find ways to get Zeke more touches. You can't make this **** up.

 

[MarcusRock]

Heck, teach Overshown how to catch and try him out there too. He already has a receiver number. What else are we doing this season?

We don't allow speculation here.

he has speed, but his hands are iffy

It should be noted that they can't get an official time on Zeke with these 1 yard carries. Just not enough time to calculate.

So maybe Turpin's the fastest ball carrier this year or maybe he isn't.

Not sure if it's true but someone in the comments section of an Athletic article today mentioned that he heard on Cowboys radio that Turpin had recently been fitted for contact lenses, and that the poor vision had contributed to drops early in his career with the Cowboys.

The commenter also questioned how in the heck it took Dallas so long to determine the guy had a vision problem.

I didn't listen to the Cowboys radio segment but maybe someone here had heard it mentioned.

I heard Sham and the pregame guys talking about that last week. Apparently Turpin's vision wasn't just a little off, it was terrible. Turpin said he couldn't even see the ball on punt returns until it got really close to him. Sham said it was one of the more amazing stories he'd ever heard -- how in this day and age can a pro athlete have vision that bad for that long and nobody catch it?

MM still can't believe it.

Yes it is. Here we have the "speed" we've been lacking and crying about for a few seasons now and the team barely utilizes him. Whats worse is that we can literally see how dynamic Turp is anytime he has the ball in his hands, in open space like you suggested.

 

[IceStar-D7]

It should be criminal how McCarthy is using this player. Just his 2nd slant for the whole year. A lot of what is wrong with Dak and the offense is because of McCarthy. Be so glad when he's hopefully gone next season. How can the players even get up for games anymore

The problem is his hands are half as good as theirs

 

[Mr_437]

He was moving!
Oh yeah, how about an extension before the season is over.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Speaking of Turpin, he's about to get paid. RFA in 2025.

lol guy can’t see and he hasn’t noticed before ?

True.
