Sorry, we are featuring zeke

Actually, we can sort of use Zeke a bit in this. Firstly, he's a good blocker, so we can use him as a lead blocker. Also, in regular plays, we can run with Zeke. However, this would spread the touches out a bit more, and it'd make us incredibly hard to defend.

Deebo is probably one of the strongest wide receivers to ever play mans is out there dragging dlineman

Use Turpin like that and he doesnt last an entire season

Pollard should be used like Deebo

Yes, either way, it'd allow us to find a weapon to do to teams what SFO did to us.

I'm all for using Turpin a little, but you are looking at jet sweeps, bubble screens and maybe some dump offs in space and perhaps a downfield attempt every few weeks or so. But nothing like how Deebo is used. I'm thinking he averages about 3 touches (maybe just under?) per game but makes some nice plays for us. I think early on with no Gallup and our current OL set up it would really help if we could use his speed out in space a little
All speculation aside, right now Turp gives us an advantage on special teams returning kicks that we haven't had since probably Kenny Gant, and Turp is more dynamic.
I dont want that spoiled early, I want Turp to have the time to evolve his expanded role, but for the immediate short term there is no reason to overexpose him at this point.

The Romans were famously good at taking what their opponents used to beat them and reinventing it into something that was better. For example, when they battled the Phoenicians during the Punic Wars, the Phoenicians were particularly good at sailing. After a battle, the Romans learned how to maneuver their boats better and used a contraption that allowed a ramp to spike down onto the end of the boat and fight on essentially the boat to shift the advantage to them as they were better on land.

I use this historical reference to say that we can do something similar with Turpin. One thing that the 49ers beat us with was using Deebo Samuel on various running routes and fakes to set up the other plays. I think we can copy that and outdo them on that. Turpin is lethal with the ball in his hands. So, not only should we see jetsweeps, but maybe we can run other plays such as direct snaps to him and have him essentially read option it where he can run with it, or toss it to Dak on a reverse and have Dak throw it to him on a corresponding route. Plays like this can be used creatively to take what the 49ers did and use it as an even bigger weapon against other teams with Turpin.
What ? Lol. Bro he is NOT built like Deebo, je will not last lol. Now if you said like Tyreek perhaps as far as speed goes

Shut up with the blocking nonsense. If the idiot can’t run he’s useless.

Turpin's lil *** could fit inside of Deebo's body and still have room for luggage.... Turpin is still the size of a High School football player. Don't get my man killed....

He wouldn't last but 4-6 weeks.

I don't know about Punics and Romans and whatever they did.

But I know Turpin is far to small for a Samuel role.

Turpin is closer to Tavon Austin than Deebo Samuels..and Tavon has about 20lbs on Turpin.

Need to definitely have him involved and getting him out in space but if you try running him between the tackles he gon die.
