Move on from the Turpin experiment

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 .

He's often looked very good and provided a spark. And he's cheap. Keep him at it.
We have his rights for 3 years. We have an interest in developing him further.

Big kick and punt returns are such low percentage things, you just have to be patient,,, he's had some nice returns this year.

He's averaging 23.5 per kick return, which puts him upper half of the league among players with 10 or more. (He has 14.) Not great, but not bad. Among punt returners, he's second in the league at 12.4.

Maybe we should bring back Dexter Coakley and Stepfret Williams too.

You realize he is 2nd in the NFL in PR average right

Turpin has done an overall good job, this past game not so much but these knee jerk reaction are too funny.
 
I can't wait till he finally breaks one. The later into the season we get the more likely his first one is of great importance. NFCCG would be a great time for it.

Dude has been great imo. And a bigger threat to flip the field than most teams have doing the job.
 
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.

he was upset with himself for fair catching a returnable kick
