Turpin as WR 2 or 3

[montgod]

Tank is on the trading block as the rumors go.

Its just too small to be even a 3rd WR (in weight), and the faster they run the worse it could get going across the middle. Sure we could shift CD to the slot, but Turpin isn't known to beat people one on one on the outside. I do like Turp, but his role might be already defined at this point.

I've never heard that Tank was on the trading block. Must have been before his injury cause at this point, they can't trade him with that injury and he's slated to be out next year and maybe longer.

I think Turpin is a 3. I like what he has done given the chance and I would use him more.

He’s gotta be one of the top 5-10 dangerous guys in the NFL with the ball in his hands. He‘s a block or one missed tackle away from going 50 yards on many plays. A good X’s and O’s coach would put him in motion and find a mismatch. He should have more touches. If he gets hurt, he gets hurt but we need to use him at least a little more.

Many people think our WR2 is a gaping hole, it’s not a strength but if you look around the league there are other teams with similar situations:

Shakir - Keon Coleman 29 rec, 556, 4TD’s
Jeudy - Cedric Tilman 29, 339, 3
Sutton - Marvin Mims 39, 503, 6
Diggs - Demario Douglas 66, 621, 3
Wilson - Allen Lazard 37, 530, 6
Ridley - Tyler Locket 49, 600, 2
Harrison - Michael Wilson 47, 548, 4
Nabers - Wan’Dale Robinson 93, 699, 3


Jalen Tolbert 49, 610, 7
More yards than most and more TD’s than all of these other #2WR’s while playing with Cooper Rush.

Turpin had 400+ yards. Jonathan Mingo has barely played 30 games and has never had a decent QB his entire NFL career.

I hope and think we are transitioning to a more run based attack. I think there will be less targets to be had. Couple that with some catches out of the backfield, 2 decent TE’s, maybe some 2 TE sets to help the run game… This team doesn’t look like a SB contender. Let’s evaluate our guys and see what we have this year, and prioritize the holes next year.

Yeah, that Dak can't see tiny Turpin...

Oh, wait...









You were saying???

You and your highlight videos pretending that is the average ......

Look up the word consistently.

He did a lot with the reps he had last year. So give him more reps..... I feel like, right now, Jalen Tolbert might be better than the available options in FA. I also feel like Turpin can be a 2 or at least 3. He's really improved as a player. His next leap would have to be refining his route running. But I truly feel our starting lineup can be Lamb, Tolbert and Turpin. It has the potential to be a lethal combination if both Tolbert and Turpin can reach their highest potential. Like they may not be the tallest or biggest. But the potential for them to be one of the best trios in the league is there if the staff can maximize these players.

I like the possibilities of Turpin + Blue on the field together.
There are only so many defenders in the league who can keep up with their speed.
How many have 2?

Would be the worst number two in the league, and among the worst number threes

Quit your complaining. That's all you do.

Quit your complaining. That's all you do.

And all you do is lapdog

We are in trouble if that's the best answer we got. He's a kick returner. You get him the ball in space by running him out the backfield into the flat and play off that. But as a pure WR, no thanks.

Mingo has sub 4.5 speed. 4.46

22 bench presses.

You cooking...

Turpin is too short to be a major WR weapon. His lack of height and weight (5'9", 152 lbs) is what keeps him at only receiving 5-10 passing snaps on offense.

Randall Cobb, Steve smith, T.Y. Hilton, Julian Edelman, Tyreek Hill, Wes Welker and a few other good receivers are 5' 10" or less.... so if we're going to use requirements, height doesn't always seem to be one of them.
