Turpin is being given better opportunities. He's been here longer, so it's only fair, but you can't fault Deuce when he's put in a bad position. I will say his blocking needs improvement. He missed assignments today. But when he's being met in the backfield you can't expect him to rush up the middle for 5 yards.
Turpin is making the most of his opportunities. It’s earning him more opportunities. I don’t think Vaughn is an NFL back. Unless he starts making some plays he won’t make the team next season. He could end up being released this season if he can’t make any plays when given opportunities. So far he’s been a wasted roster spot.
I thought the very same thing. I couldn't believe it when he used him when we were inside the 10, lol. It is so forced, I guess to justify his roster spot. The only way I see him being a productive part of this team is if Turpin gets hurt or catches fumbleitis. He would probably be a good return man, but we already have one and in the meantime he could be stashed on the practice squad in case either of those things happened. I would be glad we had him then.
Rico was injured and the game was a blowout so Pollard didn't need to be out there. Don't try so hard to read more into it.
Please.
..good point. I'm on same wavelength. Dont use as main back. To small to block or break big tackles. ..needs.. >>>>>OPen Field<<<
I’m pulling for him, but the best chance he has to make plays is in the passing game. Get him out in space to give him some room.
Think McCarthy was just saving W&T on Pollard with Dowdle out and not worrying too much about trying to scheme him into space in a game that was well in hand!
You must be thinking of someone else because I haven’t been crying about him. It’s the ones who thought he was the next Barry Sanders that are crying. Lol I told everyone the day we drafted him he wasn’t going to get many opportunities, at least early in the season.
I’m pulling for him, but I’m also keeping it real about him.
