Move on from the Turpin experiment

[Coogiguy03]

Is anyone else ready to test someone else on kick return? I've seen Turpin run right into guys instead of trying to avoid them. I mean he does have the speed to get to the outside and blow past guys right?? Maybe try #34 back there, see what's happens or even Tolbert. We can't say he hasn't been kicked to, because he has several times .

No

 

[links18]

Put whoever is least likely to fumble back there.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Dude is averaging 12 yards a punt return. He’s good.

 

[Runwildboys]

The blocking hasn't been good. Turpin has been steady, which is the most important thing for the position.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I have zero desire to bench Turpin on special teams. This feels like an overreaction.

Why is it always the same posters with the absolute worst takes?

Do you really not know football or are you trying to get a stir?

No, he is excellent. He is one of the best return men in the league. He is very valuable with his fielding each and every punt.

That would be Turpin who hasn't put a ball on the ground all season.

 

[Havic]

He is doing fine, especially on Punt returns

 

[MarcusRock]

He's not in the league MVP conversation, let's bench him!

 

[Boyzmamacita]

People underestimate the difficulty and importance of fielding punts cleanly. Turpin is excellent at it. He will break a long one before the season is over. It's not easy.

 

[erod]

Wow, no. He's outstanding.

 

[805BoysInBlue]

I guess some people just have to complain about something...relax, you're overreacting after we just beat a team and hung 54 on them

An overreaction? It is downright ridiculous.

 

[Aven8]

He’s arguably the top return threat in the NFL.

Turp was showing obvious signs of disappointment, shaking his head walking away always makes me skeptical of our return dude, I never want to see this but it was apparent to anyone paying attention.
We need to ask ourselves why is this taking place?
Is Turp aggravated with his own decisions?
He at least knows how to field a kick without perpetual fear of dropping the ball, but I have been in his corner since we signed him and thought by now that he would have broke one.
I have my doubts as well, but Miami payed Ced a lot more to do basically the same thing, so there is that.
