Turpin Replacement?

[sjmike]

Who do we have on the roster that could return punts and kickoffs if we were to trade or cut Kavonte Turpin? Seems like Mingo and Camden Brown could both play special teams and give you more versatility on offense. I know Caleb Downs has returned kicks in the past but not sure I want to put more on his plate

You would think they would try Blue

 

[Risen Star]

They have nobody to replace Turpin which is exactly why they shouldn't.

Where is all this Turpin hate coming from?

From the fact that the entire special teams regressed last year because the coordinator sucks.

Last time we saw Turpin in a game he was taking the top off the Skins defense and nobody else on this offense can make that play.

My issue with Turpin is always trust. Is he going to put the ball on the ground or call a fake fair catch. I’d be fine moving on from him the league just kicks it out the end zone now anyway and on punts he doesn’t seem to know the rules

This yet again??? There is nothing wrong with Turpin.

You saw what Holden did and you want to get rid of Turp.

He isn’t a good receiver. But is still elite returning

Has Turpin ever had a big return in a big game to switch momentum?

Yes. The drop off in return production last year was due to poor blocking. Not because Turpin suddenly lost his ability to run with a football.

Mafah has been returning.

It's a very questionable decision to retain that coordinator.

Turpin is making the team.

Not as a WR

He’s WR #4 on the roster. But yea he’s making the team based on his return abilities.

I wouldn't bet on it, its just my opinion.

Nothing surprises me anymore and it wouldn’t be the first time I was wrong if he gets cut or traded.

Turpin has value in a crowded wide receiver room. The value in receiver Dallas has at the fifth and sixth positions is the reason Turpin can get trade market value, hopefully for OT to push Steele.

You have to give up quality talent to get quality talent.

I think replacing him has been going around on The Fan. Got to reach for new content.
