It’s just you. He’s had 8 targets on designed plays. Should he get more, yes. But he’s not an every down WR and the 3 has to pretty much be. But he should have targets in every game. Just having him in makes a team have to adjust to him because he’s got that return skill he can use when you get him the ball. I’d have him coming out of the backfield some. Get him the ball in space

Gallup hasn’t shown anything to keep as the third….he just doesn’t offer enough in any area.

This team has enough weapons at the skill positions.

It’ll go about as far as the offensive line and defense takes us.

along with ferguson disovering his hands
He had a really good game yesterday. He’s more athletic than he appears but he’s had some drops though most where in one game if I remember right.

Honestly, with the quickness we have at wide receiver. We should be running 5 wides non-stop, LOL.

He is. And used wrong a lot. His strength is down field and on the move
Than one has to asked is why did they sign a WR of that skill set if they intended to switch to this Texas Coast offense?……..and the next question is did Sundays game show a sign that they are moving away from that scheme?

I hope that MM isn’t dug in.

nope ... Turpin is still the 5th WR .

But he is used in spots and occasional packages - the others like Lamb & Cook clear out the traffic for him

And to Turpin's credit , if he is not pressed, jammed and can get free release off the line , he can get to any area of the field .. in a blink of an eye !!

Not sure the person signing and the person designing were on the same page lol but as much as MM wants a quick passing game you have to be flexible. If the are covering guys on short routes start extending the routes. I like quick, short options but not so much with all the WR’s. Maybe one, TE and RB but I want someone getting downfield. Then the QB has multiple options
