Time to get Turpin involved with the offense

[big dog cowboy]

Since the Washington game on Thanksgiving, Turpin has only 5 targets with 2 receptions for 14 yards. That is 6 games worth of stats. Including just 1 reception in the last 4 games.

Given his game breaking speed and ability to gobble up yards in space, it's time to get him involved in the offense. He is a greatly underutilized weapon. If the Cowboys aren't going to use him now, then when? What are they saving him for? This is win or season over time. CeeDee will be facing tougher coverage and the opportunity for Turpin to produce will be there.

Might as well since he sure isn’t returning punts

100% spot on, BDC! Totally agree.

I think most teams in the playoffs will have a few surprises not seen on tape. McCarthy will not disappoint and Turpin could be part of that.

The thing is Turpin, for all his speed and explosiveness, is still just 5'7, 155 pounds. You have to use him sparingly. He will never be more than a gadget player and the moment the other team sees him in the game they already know something is drawn up involving him.

I'm not expecting someone who has had little involvement to suddenly become a focal point in the playoffs, but I guess stranger things have happened.

“Given his breakaway speed and ability to gobble up yards”

Things that he’s never shown in his entire nfl career on offense - we just going to pretend like this guy is something he isn’t

 

[nyc-cowboy]

LOL I've been calling for MM to use his speed on the offense every week in the game threads for months...

That and to get Rico more carries.

Two guys with speed that we hardly ever use.

Exactly!
Dude had a golden opportunity to make a "game changing" play in the playoffs last year and left the open field to run into the other teams punter and get tackled.

 

[Jipper]

I think cooks emergence along with ferg have relegated him and gallop to a lesser role
..not to say a few wrinkles couldn't make a difference but they have their top 3 recivers and the rest are battling for targets

I don't think dowdle is that fast. He might have fresh legs and be a bit explosive.

Not many returns in today's game...and why the special teams are falling asleep on their checks.

 

[diamonddelts]

He sucks.

He can stretch the field no matter his size.

 

[Zman5]

He lined up as the RB and got a carry last Sunday.
Maybe that is a sign for more things to come.

Starters are just that...top players. Now game situations always change. 6 plays by a Turpin can be a game changer and scheme enhancer. Valuable come game times.

As long as he isn’t jeopardizing CeeDees targets I’m ok with it. Now is CeeDee is tripled or something of that nature and that opens things up for Turpin then I’m all for it

This offense runs through CeeDee

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

If we haven’t seen it by now I don’t think we ever will. We know what works for this offense…..we know Lamb regardless of coverage seems to always be open. Cooks is the redzone threat. Ferg is the chain mover.

I liked they gave him a carry last game to have him doing something…..

Yep. We are gonna live and die by it and if this team dies from it I’m ok. It’s too late to change things up now.

Who are you taking off the field to put Turpin on it?
