Turpin Time up?

[RonWashington]

Based on this 2 yr experiment I hope this roster spot is a battle in camp and not just handed out to Turpin . Other than a handful of sure vets to make the Cleveland game round one dog fights for spots should be everywhere . K & Punter are a lock and a few other positions .

 

[thunderpimp91]

With the new kick return rules i bet he is a lock.

 

[RonWashington]

Let’s throw it up for competition Mr Bones.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He’s the best returner we have on this team and the one speed demon we have. I see no way they let him go.

 

[viman96]

He is a legit returner and is good for a handful of offensive plays per game. Why would they want to let him go?

 

[RonWashington]

Competition. Who knows if another return man / viable receiver can emerge . This team is not flush with playoff success to be handing out jobs . I think it’s a huge mistake yr 9 Prescott has never been challenged let alone a kick returner

He’s going to be our return guy on KOs and with the new KO rule it should really benefit him. He’s got speed so I expect him to continue to evolve as a receiver. He caught 12 passes last year for 127 yards and 3 TDs. He was also used in the backfield as a runner with 11 carries for 110 yards and a TD. I don’t see Turpin going anywhere.

Turpin is not an experiment. Deuce Vaughn is an experiment.

Turpin is not an experiment. Deuce Vaughn is an experiment.

He’s not, he’s actually been better than I expected.

 

[speedkilz88]

They've been pleased with him. Broaddus claims with the new kickoff rules that he's able to get to midfield pretty easy.

Honestly Id rather see Turpin compete for a bigger role offensively than have someone compete with him to be the returner.

4 TD's on 23 offensive touches

we actually have two speed demons, we just dunno how to scheme his speed on offense (Cooks)

then let that man be backup..as we'll need one should turpin get injured .

 

[Havic]

He is fast but he lacks vision on returns and it shows. He should have returned a couple back to the house already by now but took the wrong cut.

He can be a threat on offense if they would incorporate more plays snaps for him . I have a feeling Durden and Flournoy have strong camps for WR touches

 

[plasticman]

I too believe in competition. Besides, even if he keeps the job, wouldn't they need a contingency plan in the event of an injury?

"Filling a position" should never be limited to a single option. If there is a need and you fill that position with one player, then you are always one play away from repeating the issue.

Exactly . Turpins size leads to injury possibilities. Deuce Vaughn certainly has not lit up the RB room let’s see him return some kicks preseason and punts .

Yes Cooks is fast too.

That we need to use more on offense
