I've decided to give Turpin the new nickname of......T-Rex. This guy has short little arms that don't extend beyond his facemask. Yesterday was the 3rd or 4th time this year that a punt hit him in the face while trying to catch it. Its a team killer to force a punt and have ol' T-Rex give it back at them in the red zone. He's just not worth the risk anymore.

He's been struggling lately but a couple big returns could be the difference in a tough playoff road game. Obviously the team can't have him laying the ball on the turf...

People need to chill out about Turpin. He is the least of our problems. Look at the stats. There aren’t too many returners in the league doing better than him right now.

Agreed, the preseason gave us all kinds of hopes that he would be special.
He was solid, not spectacular early on, but lately has become a true liability.
Either bench or cut him.
