How important is Turpin to this team?
I have to ask this question because I don't believe most are realizing that Turp will be carving out more time in offensive sets.
He has already proven how dangerous he can be in just a bit of space.

In my opinion, he's important to this team for big play potential ie chunk yards,

if he was with Andy Reid's offense they'd make him a weapon

, i know its not exact but turfing can be utilized a lot like Xavier worthy types , they should do that here and that includes deuce Vaughn..

I'm going to put his name in there I don't think Mike McCarthy understands how to use them in an offense to make them weapons, throws them out in spotty situations but.... He didn't get enough targets last year , so Turpin should get more and more and more until he shows that he's not good enough to be the wide receiver 3... And then if Tolbert shows something great if he doesn't then it might be time to move up the guy, I can't ever spell his name right in Flournay although we never seen him in a real game, we need to find options..that on MM

He’s a weapon we’ll see a lot of this year.

IF MM can figure out how to run into Andy Reid LOL I would make him the number three wide receiver here until he proves he's not good enough that means a lot more targets I want to see twice as many targets as last year if last year is an indication and game one then Mike McCarthy's got a long way to go to become Andy Reid doesn't know how to use these fast more elusive guys including deuce, they can be weapons if used properly in the right situations not where it's quite obvious to the defense what they're about to do.....

Other than the jet sweep I'm just not sure that he is though, and even with those the Cowboys haven't had a whole lot of success with aside from his long run against New England last season. The majority of his catches in his career have been short passes that were designed to get him open. He ran 102 routes last year and caught just 3 passes over 10 yards. It would be huge if he can develop into a better receiver, but until he shows he is capable no way is a DC going to pay much attention to Turpin. He is yet to show that he can hang onto the ball, or create separation with his routes. Hes no different to a defense than if John Ross were out there.

I think he will be used much more this year. I have heard they even have packages with him in the backfield. All he has to do is bust one or two.

He had an ugly over the middle drop in the Cleveland game. I thought he was past that but it was over the middle and he's only 155 pounds so I guess he's entitled to hearing footsteps. Can't have that in a critical situation though.

Looking with game one they didn't have an extensive preseason I don't think he played in the preseason much not as a receiver so I would not judge a player for having one bad drop and yes it was a bad drop but I've seen I don't know CD lamb do the same thing in the Green Bay game so are we gonna judge Turpin from his one opportunity that he dropped? Has nothing to do with his size he simply dropped it but I've seen the dude take some hits he's not injury prone he's just not being utilized enough how about we make the guy comfortable in the offense but again we'll see what Mike McCarthy's got in store but I believe if this guy was with the Kansas City Chiefs he'd be much more of a weapon than he is here...

The backfield is where i would be interested to see him get a few snaps this year. I simply dont think he is a very good receiver at this level. If you can bring him out of the backfield you can try to create some mismatches and maybe even get him 1v1 on a backer if the defense is sleeping.

 

[blueblood70]

He’s got to stop dropping passes for sure.

Every receiver drops passes, his looks worse why because he doesn't get enough opportunities to make the big plays,

so it doesn't matter you didn't realize the same didn't Lamb 3 passes in the Green Bay game, remember that big one i believe was from rush big play agiant the NYG, would have been lie 60 yard easy td flat out dropped it, but people will forgive a receiver if he makes it other plays you can't condemn a guy for dropping one pass in game one where he had not much preseason work as a receiver, they put him in bubble wrap the last two games lots of players all over the field and many games for all teams didn't have their best games game one because well it's game one...

Here the Turpin package…

1. Slugo
2. Slot bubble screen
3. Jet Sweep
4. Line up as RB and screen
5. Halfback pitch

That’s it.

No that's the problem he could be utilized like a savior worthy and if we don't do it that's on the coaches he should be the wide receiver 3 until Mr. tolbert learns how to be a receiver in the NFL 'cause all that hype I heard in the offseason, at least for one game I would make an extra effort to make Turpin wide receiver 3 until he proves he can't do it and yes he had the one drop but it was game one with virtually no preseason and I've seen worse from bigger names in the first games...

So my opinion he's important to this team if he was with Andy Reid's offense they'd make him a weapon they should do that here and that includes deuce Vaughn I'm gonna put his name in there I don't think Mike McCarthy understands how to use them in an offense... He didn't get enough targets last year so Turpin should get more and more and more until he shows that he's not good enough to be the wide receiver 3... And then October shows something great if he doesn't then it might be time to move up the guy I can't ever spell his name right in Florenay although we never seen him in a real game.

I doubt it. Turpin was 26 his rookie season in 2022. He is what he is at this point. He is primarily a return specialist and a part time gadget player. They gave him 11 rushing attempts last season. He will probably see around that number again. He will also see a few passing targets. It isn't as if the offense was terrible the past couple of seasons that everything needs to be overhauled. Just some tweaks here and there. Anything they get out of Turpin in the offense is a bonus, not a necessity.

Hear what you think I said what I said because that's my opinion.. I don't think he's being used enough how does that have to do with this age and who he really is at this point we don't get to see what he is at this point he was very successful last year as a receiver and wasn't used enough so you can talk all the age and blah blah blah that doesn't have anything to do with this... He's not a gadget player he never has been he was a full time wide receiver and special teams player just like deuce Vaughn was in college 5000 scrimmage yard says he's a very good player that can at least have a role on this team and I'm telling you it's Mike McCarthy not being able to utilize players li....ike andy reid can over in kansas city... These guys can be weapons so I don't care if you doubt it I'm telling you how I feel about it my eyes are telling me he could be a very good #3 wide receiver if used enough and used properly yes bring him out of the slot lamb does not need to be in the slot all the time.....

He’s a dynamic returner but needs to learn how to hang onto the ball as a receiver. He had a drop last week. He’s been getting more opportunities as a receiver, but he needs to hang onto the ball.

He spent four years after college not doing a thing in the NFL. No teams thought he was good enough to even bring in until Dallas did in 2022. That is where the age matters. If he wasn't even good enough to get a sniff before 2022, then why is he suddenly not being used correctly. Every team had multiple opportunities to get him on their squad and passed on him. He has a specific role with Dallas and it benefits the team for him to continue to do what is asked of him. It is more a fantasy to pretend that he is underutilized. The coaches get to see him every day in practice, meetings and film sessions. I think those coaches know a heck more about Turpin than I do.

I can't explain this enough I don't care about your opinion I'm stating mine I'm sticking to it I have no doubt I believe he can be a weapon on his team if used properly.... Moving on Bosephus

The thing about this site is opinions are free to share even when 95% of them(including mine) are wrong.

No doubt about that. Andy Reid is far more creative an offensive mind than Mike McCarthy. Then again so was Kellen Moore and he didn't exactly maximize his talents either. I'm not judging Turpin off one bad drop.. But like I said.. if you're not one of the main guys you just don't get as many opportunities to "make up for it." That's just the way it is and always will be. Look at Jalen Brooks.. he sure as hell didn't drop his one target did he? Coaches will make a mental note of that sort of thing.

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

With the limited hours of practice the cba allows, it’s hard to for the coaches to get creative with Turpin because they don’t have the luxury of time to practice it

He has to catch the ball when he gets his limited opportunities in the passing game. Dynamic and dangerous return guy. Dangerous in space. Can be a nice weapon in the passing game too but has to make those catches

 

[glimmerman]

yeah, saw that. he is not going to get many opportunities, and when he does he has to cash in. he dropped that one.....I think he could be good from the slot much like Cole beasley....

I agree but Beez could catch the ball. Lol. This isn’t the first one we have seen him drop. They want him to pan out because he has that speed that could take the top off a defense real quick.

I know it’s different catching a pass from catching a kickoff but does it make you nervous he is gonna drop or fumble a punt or something. Lol

Speed kills, and this offense is in need of some speed.
Turp will carve out more of a role than most are anticipating at this point.

 

[KMY_Amber]

he should be quite important, as a deep threat, or a WR screen/jet sweep threat...but I don't think McCarthy knows how to use him so, not that important right now.

 

[Risen Star]

Greatly important. We lack playmakers. His big play making ability is sorely needed.
