I don't understand your train of thought. Turpin could be a game changer if used correctly and put in the right scenarios. But, Turpin is no where close to Hill, according to you. Well Hill has been used correctly and put in the right scenarios and that's what has made him a game changer. So where's the big difference? Honest question.

I just don't think he has the long speed that Hill has but but he has extremely quick speed so yes if he is used in the right way he will make a difference.

The major concern is being 155 pounds, almost everyone tackling him will have 50 pounds on him and some will be over a hundred. He will be limited in how they can use him. There are a lot of players in the NFL that are twice his size. Imagine your weight and someone 2x your weight falling on top of you.

Just think he is limited in how we can use him.

That explains why you’re such a girl.

She kissed a girl and she liked it.

Who the hell is Kellen Moore?

 

[Shane612]

Oh. I thought he was the punter.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Perhaps they treat him like that speedy end around specialist/trick play guy but with his speed they would be wise to try and develop him into a dangerous slot WR to get that quick hit pass and let him YAC it up.

Sort of like Deebo Samuel.

Size and durability have nothing to do with one another. That's a misconception. Take Emmitt Smith and CeeDee Lamb vs Tyron Smith and Sean Lee. Emmitt was 5'9", so Emmitt was considered small by a lot of people. But how was his durability? Lamb is skinny as heck, but how's his durability? So that's a small guy and a skinny guy showing you that size has nothing to do with durability. Now, Tyron Smith and Sean Lee on the other hand... injury problems galore.

Football is a big man's game, but that doesn't mean small guys lack durability.

Lamb is 6'2 and 200 lbs. Emmitt was 5'9 and 210 lbs. I don't know if Turpin is durable or not, but tell me all the successful players that have played in the NFL in the last 20 years and weighed 150 pounds? or even 160?

I want him to light it up but I think the odds are really against him. Really looking forward to see what he can do if put in the right situations.

It would be just like Jones to insist that he be used as a receiver only to watch some Pro Bowl linebacker turn him into a turf stain.

And that would be the end of a potentially dynamic returner.

 

[Verdict]

Sproles was powerful for his size. Similar heights but Sproles had almost FIFTY lbs on Turpin.

Turpin like Beasley needs to play from slot to maximize his ability in space and to keep NFL defenders from killing him.

Montgomery who played for the Packers was pretty slightly built. You just can’t run Turpin into the defensive front over and

I'd be real happy with KM if he can find a way to call a decent run game as well as get Turbo and TP some run.

He could start out by spreading the field instead of packing it all right inside with a double tight end set and then forcing the play inside. It’s maddening how a guy who is that innovative in certain aspects of the offense is so clueless when it comes to the run game.

 

[rambo2]

I'll tell you what.... EVERY time our opponents try fg attempts over 50+ yards, im sending Turpin to stand right in the endzone, in front of the goal post

I am sure that they are going to do this.

 

[Blast From The Past]

I see “Jet Sweep Left” and “Jet Sweep Right” in young Mr. Turpin’s future.

Don't forget the bubble screen

On the contrary they already know that he is an excellent weapon on offense. They have been using him on offense from the 1st day he came in and he has delivered from day 1,

They are going to get him in space and also open up the middle of the field where he can beat man coverage and take it to the house just like they did at TCU.

He had around 190 yards and 2tds on 3 touches against the Chargers and he wasn't even touched by a Charger. Nobody got a hand on him.

 

[RonnieT24]

At his size, is he going to stand up to the NFL at WR?

I'd rather see him stay healthy and turn a few field positions around on returns than try to make him something he may not be. He's also not a rookie, he's 26 years old now so.............

I hope I'm wrong and we have something on our hands, I really do.

Rookie refers to years of service in the NFL.. not how old you are.. Turpin has never played in the NFL.. so 26, 36, or 76.. don't matter.. he's a rookie.

Whats sad is, you really have some dumb dumbs here that really believe that..

I don't know why you're so dug in on these takes. Turpin has plenty of long speed. Maybe he's not as fast on the top end as Hill.. but there's no law that says he can't be. I also think you're overselling the whole size thing. Turpin will be the quickest most agile player on the field so nobody is lining him up for big hits. He will control when he runs out of bounds and he simply needs to know when to get on the ground or get out of bounds before any big collision. It's not like he just woke up being the smallest guy on the field. My guess is he's always been the littlest kid on the field.. yet he has always managed to excel. If not for the domestic violence situation he would already be in his 4th or 5th year in the NFL.. The kid can play.... all he has ever needed was the opportunity.. Now he has it.. watch him soar.

You must not have watched Desean Jackson light up the NFL for most of his career. He was always generously listed at 175 but came into the league at about 160 before he "filled out." A lot of guys did came into the league very slightly built but then filled out over the course of their careers. If I'm not mistaken Terence Newman came into the league at about 175 but filled out to 190-ish. There have been others.. Welker was sub 180 when he game into the league.. The fact of the matter is that guys Turpin's size almost are never given the opportunity to show what they can do in the NFL. I guarantee you if he puts up 4-5 years as a top return guy and a scares the hell out of defenses slot receiver teams will take not and in 10 years every other team will have a guy like him.
