Any time the defense can force a punt deep in the opponent's territory(30 or better), Turpin is a legitimate threat to break a long return. Probably the best we've had since Deion. All he needs is a little time and space to easily make that first guy miss and he's off to the races for at least 15 yards. I'll give the front office credit for finding signing this guy after an impressive USFL season. He's probably going to win the team at least one game this season with a timely late punt return.

Didn’t he just do that on Monday?
 
He is definitely shifty and has some speed. No doubt he will break one eventually. Too bad the punter got his hand on him Monday night. He was about to take that one to the house.
 
Kinda. He should have housed it. I have no idea how the punter was able to get him to the ground. Great play by him.

for real. great play by him. i was bummed haha, you rarely see that.

Yeah the only real problem with the defense is we have so few 3 and outs.:angry:
 
With 4.31 speed, let’s work him into the O a little bit.The threat of speed can do things to a D.

All I know is when our opponents punt, everyone in our house yells...

TURPIN TIME!!!!!
 
yep, just saying that it wasn't a surprise that the punter was able to take him down.

Punters make tackles on bigger return guys than Turpin, Turpin had to make a cut to avoid a defender and punter tripped him up.
 
Turpin is currently 3rd in the NFL in yards per punt return at 16.2. That give the offense a heck of an advantage.
 
Eventually, I think we will see him on a short pass off the fake jet sweep, wr screen, etc.
