Now, this is an additional Eagles breaking tool:
FRISCO, TX — It was only a few short months ago, July specifically, when the question was posed regarding the potential involvement of KaVontae Turpin in the Dallas Cowboys' offense in 2023, seeing as it was all but nonexistent for the Pro Bowl returner as a rookie in 2022. At the time, head coach Mike McCarthy made it clear Turpin would need to dive deeper into the playbook and fine tune some details to earn his opportunities, and the latter got right to work in Oxnard, leaving training camp in Southern California as one of the offensive standouts with plenty of promise of possibly becoming another weapon for Dak Prescott.
Fast forward your life's DVR to Thanksgiving Day and you'll see he's become exactly that. That truth was put on full display on one play in particular against Jack Del Rio's defense, or rather what was once his defense, when Dak Prescott dropped back on 3rd-and-6 in the fourth quarter — the Cowboys standing on a 31-10 lead — to fire a dot down the seam that became a 34-yard touchdown to Turpin.
It was a master class of scheming by McCarthy and execution by Prescott, Turpin and others (e.g., Brandin Cooks forcing the cornerback to pick his poison) that rewarded Turpin with his third receiving touchdown of the season.
"The post route he runs, you can't run it any better," said McCarthy of the play. "His angle, his stride, his timing are all stress that he puts on the safety and then you can see the safety react off of Brandin — going off the redline — I think that's a clear picture of the details and the specifics that Turp is playing with right now."
