Please stop using Turpin as a receiver

Totally not why we lost, BUT can we please stop using Turpin as a receiver? Gets an occasional catch but for the most part no real production… Maybe Pickens, Flournoy, Mingo if CeeDee can’t go next week?

This coming from a long time fan starting from the 80s. This gutless team can't win on the road like the 90's teams could. I knew they'd lose. Unfortunately for you, you'll never see a super bowl team. Jerry needs to be 6 feet under until this can happen. Jimmy Johnson won those super bowls, not Jerry. Glad I've seen 3 super bowl wins.

Bullcockey. We need another Turpin type with speed and quickness who can get open early, create separation and run for yards after the catch. Our big WRs can't do that against the better defenses. It shows up every time we play a good defense, because our bigger receivers don't have that superior speed or quickness to get open early, create separation or perform well in the quick short dink-n-dunk game the way other teams do with their smaller but faster and quicker WRs. All the teams in the top right have run nothing but a dink-n-dunk passing offense with guess what kind of WRs and RBs? ... Smaller but faster and quicker players who can get open early and often, plus create separation and run for big yards after that quick dink-n-dunk pass.

Schotty is an idiot for refusing to replicate the success of the current best teams in the league. We definitely need to see more of Turpin. Heck, a Turpin clone has been available all season as a rookie free agent (Silas Bolden). Why hasn't Schottenheimer gone and got him to use to our advantage? The same goes for super fast (4 25 40 speed) and quick RB, Jaydon Blue, who could be used as a weapon on offense. Yet, Schottenheimer refuses to use him because supposedly Blue is "immature"? What a bunch of hogwash. It's because Schottenheimer likes them bigger bruising RBs but who are much slower and are limited to only running the ball in between the Tackles IF YOU CREATE THEM A NICE SIZED HOLE TO RUN THROUGH. They also absolutely suck to use in the passing game. Simply too slow and heavy to mismatch good opposing defenses. But Schottenheimer thinks he knows best. How has that worked out? This season is over, and most of it has to do because dumb Schottenheimer's ideas absolutely failed and hurt this team. Period.
 
It wasn't our Offense that cost us the game.
The Defense Is still A work In progress.
We won two games Yippy ki yea We still need some LB's some Safety help DE.
Were getting our young DB some good playing time EZ getting good Playing time.
This is all about 2026. Calm down.

Well 3 turnovers on offense did cost us. They punted twice and we only punted once.

The Defense gave up 7.2 yards per play. That explains why they had very few 3rd downs.
 
We are so slow that we have to use them. We have no choice..

You are extremely loyal to people you like.

I'm loyal to anybody who shows respect, hard work and determination. I might agree or not agree with anyone, but if they show hard work, respect and determination, they definitely will win my loyalty.

At the same time, I have no problem calling out our own if one messes up, including myself.
 
I think it is time to move on from Turpin in general.

The hits have taken a toll on him you can see it on his returns and when he tries to make catches in traffic.

I would take Tolbert with past production , 7 TD catches last season or Holden the unknown factor over Mingo .

The TO's and the short fields and the lack of aggressiveness from Brian the second qrts refereeing calls all played a bad part The point I was trying to make is this team will bounce back. Were almost there

Coaches just got to be smart and design plays that really takes advantage
of his skill set, which is basically speed.

Which hasn't been done in the how many seasons he's been here, so why start now!

They need to quit using him for anything...much less as a receiver.
