Video: Turpin apparently will play in 3rd preseason game

[Risen Star]

8:00 minute mark of video. He's even going to get some time on offense apparently.

They will not be putting your star return man on ice for the regular season as everyone expected.

So, he hasn't made the roster yet? Or has he?

I assume they want to see him as a WR at full speed...but he's already signed for 3 years.

 

[quickccc]

Maybe they want to see him work and develop as a receiver ?

.. or see how he handles fair catch punts and decision making around our 10 yard line ?

He made the roster 3 weeks ago when they signed a 3-year deal.

Why is that? Think it's some cap debilitating figure to cut him?

They signed him immediately after the tryout. They knew what they had and they locked him up for cheap, simple.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I would play Dak and sit Turpin

Not sure on that. Why? They would hold his exclusive rights beyond this year anyway.

It's probably some creative accounting for some reason neither of us understand, and he will definitely make the team, but the three year deal isnt the reason.

You could be right but I felt he was going to be signed once they offered him a tryout. He was named the starter damn near before he took the practice field for the first time and now we see why.

 

[Aven8]

I guess they have to create some excitement for the first and only PS game at AT&T.

McCarthy wants to school Moore on how to use Turpin.

Yeah I'm excited to watch him play.

Just hope he can stay healthy and understands that protecting the football is first.

That extra gear where he can turn a corner and beat a guy is special. He is playing a tick faster than everyone else.

 

[G2]

Silly

 

[conner01]

They signed him immediately after the tryout. They knew what they had and they locked him up for cheap, simple.

They also signed him just after he played his full season and now he will be playing 17 more games
Kinda smart to limit his work a bit

He should

Good sign. He needs reps in the offense.

 

[RodeoJake]

If he makes another big play on offense or ST, he makes the team. If not, bye-bye Turpin.

He's already signed for 3 years, so probably not.

McCarthy wants to win. Four more returns for TDs should take care of that.
