Not Fond of Broaddus' Burpin' on Turpin

[T-RO]

Five or so weeks ago--when the season had some remote hope of relevancy--I was watching a little Broaddus and Voch.

I just about gagged to hear Broaddus say that he felt Turpin shouldn't have a roster spot. He wanted the position slotted to a guy with more true receivers chops. Brian was in general just whining about franchises that take much regard for special teams players. And he was in particular disappointed that Turp couldn't muscle up on a particular catch over the middle

So here we are 2/3 through the season and Turpin has accomplished this:

• Two kick return TDs, leading the league (one punt, one KO return)
• 7.8 yards per touch when playing WR, be that running or receiving whenever he touches the ball. Not special, but fine for a 4th/5th receiver, and well above the Cowboys average yard-per-play.
• Four total touchdowns

I respect Broaddus some of the time, truly. But when he tells me that only in the last year or two has he been learning about analytics...or when he's burpin' on Turpin...I have less regard.

I’ll give Broaddus credit for voicing his opinion.

That said, he’s blatantly wrong so often.

I’ll never forget last year during the offseason he would drone on about how he thought the coaching staff supposedly liked Hendershot more than Ferguson. Of course, we saw how that turned

Broaddus is a thin-skinned moron.

No idea how he has the platform he does.

I guess being a former failed scout with the team is enough. Very low bar.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Broaddus generally gets it right and gives good advice. On Turpin, he is absolutely wrong. We are lucky to have KaVontae Turpin on the Cowboys team.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

I can take him being wrong, I can take his over the top takes on some players, I however can not take him talking about himself in the third person.

Broaddus is on the Jones payroll so what would you expect? Very "low bar" posters here on CB Zone.

BB is knowledgeable but that doesn't mean to say he's good at his job. He's in radio for a reason. He seems like a good enough guy but he is thin skinned. Thinks too highly of himself. He knows more than I when it comes to scouting. But when it comes to rosters, and who should be on the field, he's wrong. Turpin has proven he's wrong. Turpin has some baby Tyreek Hill in him. Lol. Teams are struggling to cover him lately because he has learned how to run clean routes. His kick returning is game changing. We lose last week without him. If BB had his way, Turpin might be on the PS or cut. Glad he's not running anything. Jeff Cavanaugh might be worse. Maybe a good dude but seems out there.

 

[Havic]

Turpin has game breaking speed and can completely change the dynamics of the game with a return. A special talent you make a roster spot for. No different than Dante hall or Devin Hester

 

[big dog cowboy]

Broaddus lives off his past job. He feels like it gives in creditability to talk about the NFL.

Just like everyone else in the media, he is right sometimes and he is wrong sometimes.

He's a weather guesser essentially but in football.

I was watching that last horrendous Cowboys prime time game with Peyton and Eli,,, they had coach Belichick on for a while and he was pointing out what Dallas should be doing more of ,,, one of those things was getting the ball in Turpin's hands since was one of only two offensive players that could take it to the house on any given play. You could tell BB liked him.

 

[Rayman70]

Turpin is hard for teams to account for. Hard to cover. Why MM doesn't use him more is strange.

 

[Risen Star]

I'd have to hear that myself because it would be moronic to question why Turpin has a roster spot. He's the best returner in the game. Anything he gives you as a receiver is a bonus.

Well, there's a reason he's a former scout right?

 

[Bullflop]

I've gotta say, it bugs whenever Broaddus sees fit to knock a fine player like Turpin. Truthfully, he bores me, more than anything else.

In my opinion he should be the number 2 wide receiver this year with all the problems we had why not develop the guy this is where our coaching staff drives most most of us crazy this would have been a year to experiment with certain players to see where they fit next year literally he deserved way more targets you say four or five I say 3 he's a three on many teams from the slot he should get 5 or 6 targets a game I know it seems like a lot but the man has that juice we don't have much juice anywhere else on our entire offense he would be it you have to take advantage of it not behind the line of scrimmage throws in space or I don't know why he's not used more the way lamb is being used as a running back lambs hurt and they get him going too much from the backfield but we need to see more 9 routes we need to see more motion from the slot and get him open across the field he could be very productive..

The problem here the way players are used underutilized not utilized properly has been going on for some time and that's the main reason I want Mike McCarthy gone he has no creativity he doesn't seem to wanna put people on the field and grow them and doesn't know how to make it fit I mean guys like Vaughn and Turpin on other teams you would see them more often and put in the right play calls in the right situation last year I watched Tony and Rico be used backwards in my opinion now I'm not a damn expert but if you were to switch the way those exact carries went in this scenarios they ran in in the game I think we would have had a better run game last year and it started out this year too he didn't seem to figure out that Rico was our #1 running back he may not be a top running back in this league but if you handed him the ball 20 * a game our run game would've looked a lot better and you would've thought after the Pittsburgh game the light when it came on and somehow Mike McCarthy forgets he's on the team he gets he sets him on the bench he literally ices our own players it drives me crazy...

If you see a guy like Turpin have a big play like he did a couple weeks ago on a slant you don't put him on the bench you try that two more times a game from a different spot or in motion but if you know that team is not accounting for him then you burn that out until it's done...

Seems like every time we have a little spark in momentum from a player or a group for no reason they just park them on the bench Mike McCarthy brings out a whole different group like you don't see that play the rest of the game literally in my opinion the worst offensive coordinator that I've watched this year in the NFL when it comes to that aspect of using your talent properly and killing momentum on your own team..

You left out that he has the longest TD by a wide receiver in the team where he was running at 23 mph. Shame on coaching staff for not finding more ways to exploit his talent.

Yeah man, run some rub routes or whatever but get this guy the ball with a little space and let him go to work.

Using him as a deep threat for the occasional low percentage over the shoulder catch isn't good enough.

He needs to be given the ball in space, with high percentage routes and the ability to run after the catch.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

Perhaps what Broaddus meant was wasting a roster spot since they dont do enough to get him the ball. He did comment after he took that pass to the house that they never went back to him after that. He couldn't understand why. Much like the rest of us.

What are you smoking? Or drinking?
He is far more wrong than he is right. Rarely gives good advice.
Picks players to hate on then tries to justify it by saying it enough, some fans actually believe it then repeat it.
He will make stuff up, as he tried to say Mazi has mental issues. He should been fired for that.

I much rather listen to Jerry's senile drivel any day over this clown Broaddus.
