Lol... no TD's true. But he still led the NFL in KR yardage with over 1800 yards and had an 84 yard return that fell short of a score.
He absolutely lost a step.
There is no proof he lost a step. None.
As what? A returner? I don't care. I wouldn't cut Turpin, necessarily, but I don't think he should get offensive snaps.
His average yards per return plummeted last year.
He had one fair catch negated by a penalty.
I posted it because it was a punt return, which you claimed he had no skill at.
Johnny Mingo just had a shadow crossover his grave...lol
Now there's no acting I Turpin has made this team he is a lock and this is something fantasy to understand wide receiver Wonder 4 is a lock just like last year nobody's taking that away forom Lamb, GP, Flo and Turp.. They're just not ready..
Actually it's a PUNT returner and KICK returner and gadget player WR4 answer. Not all guys do both He can He's pushing at catching it and doesn't matter if he's making big plays he consistently makes sure he handles the ball and there is actually better blogging He'll still be pretty good at it and I still like his WR4 the man has some of the longest plays from scrimmage even last year Air yards etc etc That's all you expect at a number 4 all these people are to push him out you're crazy you have to find out that can both do kick and punt returns and do what goes on offense and one person not 3 It's a numbers game the coach will always heap the guy that can do all three They don't need anyone special there not with George and CD Lamb and pho and Ferguson and Ford et cetera et cetera so on and so forth running backside back field there's only so many balls to go around I don't know who's 5,6,7 at WR right now Turpin will be here this year..
It was a small consideration the bigger consideration is all injuries and a turnover was changing the quality of the defense and not leaving a whole lot for special teams to share a lot of those players are intermingled... It happens it was one of those perfect Storm thing new coach too many injuries the blocking wasn made it all so you can chalk it up to that Turpin abused right now here and he's gonna be a lock the roster as long as you don't get in trouble with Law I promise you need luck for this roster he's not being pushed off with some big receivers that are showing off in camp in pre-season it's that simple Those are like wide saver 5 through 7 Turpin is WR4 for now until somebody do his job he'll be here...
Been saying this since we brought Sorenson in as ST coordinator. His only other year doing it, with Jacksonville, wasn't very good, but No-Schott had coached with him and brought him here. We clearly did not have much direction with how we wanted to handle kick returns. I think Sorenson looked at it, said I've got a Pro Bowl returner and just left it up to him to do what he thought best on returns. That led to Turpin slow-playing returns to look for a hole instead of the ST coach having a plan that would allow Turpin to play at full speed the moment he fields the ball. Since we made no change at ST coordinator, I expect more of the same this year.
Turpin was one of the worst punt returners in football last season. He returned just 8 punts for 55 yards. His average was ranked 33rd out of 36 eligible returners last year. For his career hes only a 9 yard per return type of player which is below average.
