Am I wrong for wanting to see more Turbin?

[Blast From The Past]

The OL looks bad i agree. Especially on that 3-1 goalline play.

They got flat out owned on that play. Skins knew it was coming and our line couldn't block squat. This line has regressed and I don't understand how they did so and so quickly too.

Talking McFadden vs. Turbin is a solid reminder that they need an upgrade at RB this offseason.

They had zero respect for the Pass game. Most teams have played Dallas that way this year.

 

[Bleu Star]

He wasn't good tonight either. Honesty this line isn't getting the push it needs

Anyone can run behind our oline.

Anyone can run behind our oline.

Not without a passing game to keep them honest. That and the fact that we've forgotten that "play action pass" isn't a penalty... SMH!

That 3rd and one was stopped by the end or linebacker crashing down from the outside.
I have seen the same play stopped the same way on more than one occasion this yr.
The blocking scheme on that play required free and witten to reach for their blocks quickly.
Wouldn't mind seeing that play redesigned or better yet, trashed.
The real killer in that series was first down. Dez has a half step and leverage on the cb and a lineman reaches up and bats the ball away.
Still should punch it in from there with 2 tries

This is true. Might as well find out what Turbin can do behind this line in real game situations to see if he sould even be a consideration for next year. The effort i see gives me hope.

 

[Craig]

it will be Turbin's time if DMC gets hurt. Otherwise he'll fail to take advantage of the chances he doesnt get and they'll move on.

I thought Free had his worst game of the season.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

Yeah I don't get it. Reports are he is a RKG and has run well but they seem inclined to never play him until absolutely necessary.

It's all part of Garrett playing scared.

The one fumble exchange between him and Cassel is enough to make any coach nervous about using him.

Well, Cassel lost his grip on the ball there......pretty sure Turbin didn't screw that play up.

Good point. He seems overall reliable though is pass pro and running.

Not much the OL can do when the defense knows what's coming and is using 11 guys to stop it.

 

[LocimusPrime]

Alot of teams dont really know what their backups can do. Davonta Freeman was sitting on the bench for three years in Atlanta.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

The big thing for me is that he doesn't need carries to get warmed up. McFadden does. That's alright if a RB does, but not when they are playing the #2 RB. And I like McFadden to a certain extent, but he's really not a very good zone running back and it forces us to use more man blocking for him. So things don't mesh that well between McFadden and the O-Line. I would like to see us go with a rookie RB, McFadden, Dunbar and Turbin. Pencil Turbin in at #2 and try to ease the rookie RB into the mix as McFadden starts early on with some help from Dunbar. McFadden is basically on a pay-for-play deal, so if the rookie RB can take over, it's not a big hit to us cap-wise.

More Turbin?

How about some more Cow Bell.....

 

[Seven]

Looks to me like Mc Fadden might be wearing down. I would like to see a little more Turbin who seems to be running straight forward and with some passion.

I just finished saying this.

Especially in goal line situations, IMO.

 

[Craig]

Anyone can run behind our oline.

Yeah, they continue to prove that to be true...when they "play like crap" and support their rbs to 100 yards on 20 carries.

 

[Zekeats]

Its not the line, its the play calling. Any time we are in 3rd/4th and short we run it middle/right. Any coach who studies any game film for 5 minutes knows this about us. How about a pitch to the outside or even better yet a QB sneak considering its not Romo.

 

[Proximo]

Considering the circumstances, I'm okay with Darren "Chicken Legs" and "Big Guns" Turbin as our one-two punch for the moment.
