Turpin deserves WRs snaps for four quarters

[Runwildboys]

You just trying to get our ace return specialist killed aren't you.
Just never happy when you have something really special are you.

Hahaha! We just can't have nice things!

We ran him on a jet sweep. Now he needs the bubble screen, but first I’d put him out there, fake the bubble screen and go to the opposite side.

I'm all for getting the guy some snaps, but "because he has done his job on ST" isn't a valid argument. Do we have any evidence that he is capable of playing WR at the NFL level?

Tavon Austin is proof...

And my neighbor's wife is the best-looking broad at the local VFW hall...doesn't mean that she should enter the Miss America contest.

I believe the return of Gallup & the impact of Noah Brown lessens the chance of Turpin getting targets, & maybe the team is mitigating risk knowing their special teams would be decimated if he were to be hurt on a pass play.

There is no creativity in our offense AT ALL

I have no idea what your comment had to do with who gets snaps during the game. My point was that the coaches should know if Turpin is ready for a more active role, not whether we're creative or not.

The interesting thing about all the negative commentary on this forum is this:

If, before the season started, you were told we'd be 5-2 after 7 games, would you take it?

90%+ of fans would've said, 'Absolutely!', not, 'Well, how did we get to 5-2?

Now that the season is underway, criticism is flying everywhere, boneheads think Rush is as good as Dak, the win Sunday wasn't very good because the Lions were in striking distance late, blah blah blah. We won. Like they say in golf, nobody asks 'How?', they ask 'How many?'

We won. We're 5-2. Creativity isn't a stat. It's wins and losses, period. We'll either win enough games to get into the playoffs or we won't. If we get in, we'll either continue to win or we won't.

In baseball right now, you think the Phillies care that they aren't the best team in the National League? They don't. They won at the right time. That's all that matters, and that's what the Cowboys need to do....win games.

he has to navigate a whole specisl tesms so getting by a safety or DB shouldnt be s problem
Especially if it’s not a slant pattern

i hope we pay him...3 year contract...11million...5 million guaranteed

MAN he's lil' dude though isn't he? He got hit today on that kickoff return and it was pretty bad, was relieved to see him get up ok.

This is overcomplicating it. When you have world class speed the only thing that matters is can you catch the football. I don't think anyone is saying throw him out there for 15-20 plays. What I would do is at least two times a game I'd send Turpin 30 yards down the field..that will take the Safety out of the play and open up the middle of the field for the underneath catch and run opportunities. I would also scheme to get him an opportunity or two in space each game as a receiver. These are 4-5 small things we can do every game that would help to open up the offense. I called it back in preseason the only thing Kellen Moore would be able to cook up for Turpin is the jet sweep.

Yep...I said the same a few weeks ago: just have him run a few straight go routes. It will absolutely make the opposition account for him and open things up underneath. Man, we can figure that out but KM can't. ComefrigginON dude.

yes that is big concern...if he gets ripped by some of the super strong players he will get hurt lot easier than bigger player?

maybe they are first trying to get Dak at ease before they open throttle?

man the Packers are getting ripped first half by Bills

 

[FVSTONE]

Turpin has done his job on ST and deserves snaps as WR especially with current group dropping balls consistently every game.

Maybe more reps are coming as the second half of the season progresses. Cowboys may be trying to keep Turpin's pass receiving abilities a secret too.
