Blue vs Turpin who wins in a foot race, who has the better season

[deerhunter11]

Blue and Turpin can both fly How do you see Dallas using them on offense, who has the better year and who wins in a foot race.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

blue will have a better season, simply because he will get more opportunities and more touches. I can imagine both Blue and Turping motioning to the slot of outside. imagine Pickens and CD on one side, turpin and blue on the other side. can give defenses fits.

Close race. Blue by a smidgen.

I'm not sure about Blue getting more touches. He may be the backup to Williams/Sanders and get only a few touches per game. Turpin might be in the mix to be the third receiver as well as our kick/punt returner.

I can't see Blue having the better season. As things stand, he is likely RB3, and Turpin showed enough last year to earn more looks this year...especially with the focus on our O being our 2 WRs

If I was Shottenheimer I would be trying to get both players on the field at the same time when possible. Defenses would have to account for blazing speed from these two as well as Pickens and Lamb my goodness this could work well.What kind of trick plays could you draw upon with this personel.

 

[DallasEast]

I would pick KaVontae Turpin, but my preference is slightly biased after having opportunities seeing him run since high school. The young man is fast.

I disagree Tolbert's going to get way more touches at the three in most regular sets,

so Turpin's going to be splitting targets just as much as blue might be on offense, and you're assuming Williams and Sanders makes his team and I'm not sure they do, one of them won't make it..

It might take four games into the season, but when they see what blue can actually do a lot like Tony Pollard, he'll get a lot more touches, if he's anywhere close to what I envisioned him being in this offense, they'll figure it out quick ,that he's going to need more touches because he can help this offense be dynamic..​

What would be really cool and hard to stop would be Pickens, Lamb, Blue, and Turpin all on the field at the same time...... Pick your poison..​

​

can you imagine one of our wide receivers coming from the slot crossing the field completely on a deep crosser, Pickens headed out on a long post or a 9 route, they clear it out having backs turned chasing them, and then you have blue /Turpin somehow sneaking into the flats or doing slants.... ​

That should be cool to see if this offensive staff has a clue, we're going to figure it out really fast they have what it takes to have these types of designs and it's going to put a lot of pressure on the defense to pick who you want to try to cover,

you try to ignore blue or Turpin They're going to kill you on a big play...

One would think Blue for reasons @CowboysFaninHouston stated but that all depends on who wins the #1 RB position in training camp.

I don't know who would win, but if we had an offensive coordinator like Kyle Shanahan or Kingsbury, we would be unstoppable offensively with the speed we can place on the field in creative formations.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I think over the course of the season, I expect blue to get more touches.
but you are right, we have to account for Turpin's special teams touches too. I think tolbert and mingo are in the mix for #3 WR more than Turpin.

The Blue hype continues. Hopefully it doesn’t jinx him like the Deuce Vaughn hype that was flooding the board a couple of years ago.

The Blue hype continues. Hopefully it doesn’t jinx him like the Deuce Vaughn hype that was rampant on the board a couple of years ago.

And the negativity continues isn't that something if you don't believe in the thread don't answer but also don't think that this guy isn't fast that's the first part of the question his speed is not questioned he can run on a legitimate 4.3 when healthy..

This isn't the DV hype, This guy has a legitimate nfl body,

he's built almost exactly like Gibbs he's got speed like Gibbs, here's his body he can legitimately give you what Tony Pollard gave you hear , guys like Kamara he can be like those types,

yeah it's going to have to be proven, but this is not an undersized guy who overachieved in college,

it's quite the opposite he got buried on a legitimate 5 star team with depth in front of him, but when he was used, he was a difference maker he was a spark plug on a national championship caliber team...

Say what you will, but this is definitely not the same thing, we don't know about him being a starter in this league, but he has the body size and the speed to be a legitimate running back in this league whether it's change of pace type or not...

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Turpin has the better season because he’s the only one of the two we know for sure will get playing time

Seems like he could if he wins the No. 2 role. Might be around 10 touches per game. If he wins the role.

I think we want to use Turpin more on offense based on the explosive factor he added when we started using him more. I don't think he'll be the lone third receiver because we won't want to overuse him. He could get 4 or 5 touches on offense and 4 or 5 on special teams.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Blue just because he has less competition for snaps. If he can eliminate the fumbles he could easily be in line for 15 touches a game.

Turpin despite the fantastic 2024 is still undersized. Hes also likely in a bit of a timeshare situation in the WR3 role with Turpin/Mingo as long as Lamb/Pickens remain healthy. You also have an offense that is in pretty good position to play a lot of 2TE sets. Going to be a tougher path for him to see the field IMO.

 

[Mikexike]

turpin and its not even close.

I won't be surprised if Williams and Sanders both make the roster. No other back we have has proven anything. I'm not saying that because I believe they are anything special. I'm only saying that because their competition is three late-round backs. They have to prove they even deserve to play in the league. I mean, not only would Blue have to beat one of them out but so would Mafah or Vaughn.

Now, I do have expectations for Blue to contribute, but have no idea how much he'll be able to. If he can't hold on to the ball or protect the QB, it will limit his use.

Turpin is an established contributor who I believe this coaching staff recognizes should have been used more. There's a reason we gave him a three-year $13.5 million deal, and it's not just because he's a return man.

 

[blueblood70]

They both have been clocked about the same top 40s, but that's pretty impressive because Blue is much bigger...

It probably be no contest in flag football, you know tight space movement, jitterbug stuff, I think Turpin should end up being in the Olympic flag football team if I'm picking...

But as far as straight speed, running as fast as they can for 40 yards, I would like to see that, but in football terms, i'll take the bigger closer to normal sized football player, that also has the same speed...​

They both would be pretty good weapons if you can get them on the field on some plays together, it could be fun watching for sure.

I'm sure something is going to develop in training camp, and this is going to happen...

BTW I'd like to see our 4 fastest players who are healthy just race each other; KT, Blue, Parsons (he believes he super-fast), and?? who else?​

IMHO!!!! I would be NOT be surprised, nothing they have is truly guaranteed, they have very low end guarantees,

they're not going to keep players on this team like they did last year where Zeke wasn't doing anything they didn't use Vaughn ,

they are not bringing fat into this year, they don't need to, and I believe one of those two are not making, it they might end up on a practice squad..IE Cook emergency keeper
