Use Turpin like Deebo Samuel

[BAT]

But he is not Deebo.

How many TDs has Deebo thrown for?

How many returns for TD?

One reason Deebo works so well with the 49ers is they have a great run game to begin with. I wouldn't try and run those jet sweeps or any of the nonsense with Turpin.
Best way to use Turpin is let him go deep.

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I use this historical reference to say that we can do something similar with Turpin.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.

Aside from the size difference between Tirpin & Deebo, Deebo has Shanahan and Turpin has Boy Wonder. The later is the most limiting factor.

I don't think so, Samuel has 77 catches and 59 rushes. I don't see 5'07" guy taking on that type of role.

You’ll get bubble screens and like it!

He weighs 165lbs fully geared.

Man, I can't help but think that people are vastly overrating Turpin and expecting the world out of him. This is a whole different level he will experience and the team has to be smart about how they feature him.

I believe it's a little too hot in that Mr. Ed suit, you'd better come out for air

Use Turpin like Deebo Samuel?

You going to get him killed

 

[Captain-Crash]

why don't they have any midgets playing center in the NBA? they should be able to use them the same way.

Tangle_Foot, thank you. I came here today really needing a laugh and that first sentence made me belly laugh heartily.

OP must know he is tiny,we can use him on some deep routes but his return skills are so valuable that i will keep his offensive snaps down to 10 per game.
