I truly thing our coaching needs to be better. Lots of mental mistakes every game it seems. I was surprised he made the pro bowl. Just wasn't feeling the sizzle as they say.

Me, too. He has 3 fumbles, 2 lost, with another bobble that wasn’t fumbled, in 29 punt returns. That’s 1 every 7 returns and an average return of 10 yards. Not a positive game changer with those stats. Just the opposite because if the fumbles.
for sure that make me nervous. But im hoping he breaks one in the perfect moment this Monday. Jags had 5 TOS last night got down 27 and won, give me hope we can overcome anything as well.

I would honestly consider putting Cee Dee in there on the shorter fair catch type returns.
NOPE, cant risk cd bit im sure someone can do it, just fair catch it.. however haven't done it all year also dangerous, just let KT ride..

although KT made the PB so maybe his yips are over. its happens with kickers and other areas of the team, can flip the script and give us a return TD and all is forgiven ..

Still waiting for Turpin to have a signature game.

I'd say I trust Donovan Wilson, Zack Martin and Luka Parsons. But the staff is wearing out Parsons rather quickly.

His last fumble has put everyone a bit on edge, but 2 of his recent returns about 30 plus yards were negated by penalties. If they had stood people would be more comfortable.

Surprised Turpin has not broken it big for a TD run back... he's easy to trip up at 155 pounds.

So he needs to be un-touched, ..and badly we've had untimely special teams penalties after he's brought a 50+ run

Odd how the fumbles came at late end of the season. He was well secured for most of the season.

i theorized that since he has played in back to back football seasons between USFL and NFL, and he's only 155 pounds
Could he be wearing down some on both physical and mental level at this point ?

I hope Turpin breaks won, but if I had to make a bet it would be he would fumble before breaking one. Honestly, I’d take a no fumble, no TD return offset right now. Tom Brady doesn’t need the added help of short fields.

The Jags were able to come back because their defense effectively shut down the Chargers in the 2nd half. And really, beginning after the last Lawrence INT of the 1st half. The Chargers had 7 possessions after that and managed 2 field goals. Another FG or a TD instead of one of the FGs and the Chargers most likely win.

Dallas’ problem in coming back from 27-0 is that I don’t believe they would hold Tampa and the GOAT to only 1 field goal.
