Cowboys' Robert Turbin: Strong supporting role in Dallas debut

Robert Turbin gained 35 yards on seven carries and caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

The 25-year-old looked sprightly in his Dallas debut, gashing Miami for five yards per carry in support of Darren McFadden. Turbin appears to have already earned the top backup nod, as no other back received a carry on the day, and he should still see a few touches per week as the Dallas Cowboys try to remain balanced on offense. Next on the schedule is a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Panthers.

I didn't realize he was only 25. Great pickup.

 

[AmishCowboy]

Nice player and pickup

I was really impressed with Turbin, and, had Romo not overthrown that little over top pass to him, he had a lot of yards in front of him.

Good pick up. I just hope he has a suit!

Turbin seems to be the big, dirty yards back we've been looking for. Do you see him sharing even more of the carries this Thanksgiving to give McFadden a break on this short week?

Bryan: Coaches and teammates really like him. Even though he has been here just a week now – there is a lot of trust there and I believe you are right that we will see him get more opportunities.

David: I have never seen a guy integrate himself into a team so seamlessly and so quickly. He’s a fantastic change of pace, and he’s certainly a good bet to get goal line and short yardage carries. I would guess his role only increases as we go forward.

Dez was giving him a lot of pats on the back in the huddle. I think Dez really likes this dude. Sounds like a home run in a locker room chemistry kind of way.

I heard that he uses clip on ties...

He's a strong, physical and efficient runner. Also apparently a great teammate. I like him as a backup. Going forward he'd pair nicely with a rookie draft pick next season.

I like this pick up. Finally a running back from Seattle may work out for us

Yeah but too bad Rawls changed his mind on us at the last minute.

Yeah but too bad Rawls changed his mind on us at the last minute.

I doubt he would provide more quality than what is right now, in Robert Turbin.
