Wassup with Turpin

[Captain-Crash]

he's a gimmick player. How many trick plays can you set up for a one-trick pony? I'm not "hating" him.

 

[Rayman70]

Difference in this game will be the team that has the shorter field. If we win that battle, we have a great chance. Make Hurts drive the full length. I see Diggs getting at least 1 pick in this game. Hurts will make bad reads when u shut down his first read. The teams they have played haven't been great. We did that all year...shortened the field with great D.

 

[Nexx]

he's like 4'1 95 pounds

Protect him???? For what? They inked him on a 2yr deal to play NFL football. For what? To stand on goal line and wave his arm on KOs and fair catch punts?

This, get creative! Got someone with some pop use him.

Secret sauce

 

[Dak_Attack_09]

....why is he getting no touches??? Does the team not have confidence in him?
The little vatto has some juice and we need the speed. Dude can be a game changer in certain spots I believe...
Maybe they gonna spill some Turpin on the dirty birds as a surprise. I been thinking that every week but it ain’t happening.
I wanna see me some TurpinTime....

When Dak is back he will get some targets!

 

[OGCowboy]

His preseason showing is what is affecting the desire to see more of him. That was entertaining but once it gets real, how likely is that?

One thing for sure.....We have no idea if it’s likey or not if he never gets the touches

It’s too early to say what he is exactly.


Noah Brown was a sucky player until he wasn’t. Now he’s a legit threat on the field.


The league is built for guys like Turpin to do well. Dallas needs to figure it out.

It's seems that on most punts we go for the block instead of setting up for the return, frustrating. I wish we would sneak him into a few offensive plays to establish him as a decoy for our base offense. A simple throw to him in the flats on a 3rd and 20 play could bring surprising results.

Yep, I agree. Brown was the benefactor of practicing with Rush a lot. How many guys don't get the opportunity he did?

 

[zrinkill]

He is tiny and already played a full season before the NFL season started ....... they want him to concentrate on returns this year ...... next year he will be more a part of the offense.

 

[KJJ]

You’re not going to get a lot of touches when you’re the size of a fly. They signed him as a kick returner.

Why do you think this matters?


Being small as a WR is fine.

Small guys are better at creating separation.

I don’t think anyone is asking him to go be a star player but he has a deep speed and run after the catch element that needs to be utilized.

Reports are he’s around 150 pounds. Most of the receivers today have size and strength. It’s hard to get creative with a guy that size playing with a backup QB who we’re having to play conservative with. We can’t afford turnovers and he’s more of a gimmick type player. If we start getting too gimmicky that can lead to turnovers. Maybe they’ll attempt to use him in the passing game when Dak returns.

 

[Typhus]

..get Turpin on some screens.

Have to get this in the game plan.

 

[Mr_437]

Patience is my guess. I like that Turp isn't forcing returns and being reckless, he catches punts very well. I like having Turp as the return guy. Offensively, I'd much rather Turpin, CeeDee and Noah catch all the WR screens, no more Gallup.

I look forward to KM using Turpin on WR screens, Jet sweeps and as a RB to run some sweeps to use his vision.

 

[conner01]

Easier to look good in the preseason than regular games.

Exactly
He’s basically an undrafted rookie
He played over seas and in usfl which is just below teams playing every Saturday
He has a lot to learn as a reciever
He’s contributing on ST
Just get the ball to pollard who has proven to be a impact player against nfl players

Rush may debate that with you...jus sayin

True.
I was referring to special teams.

Being small is being harder to see over the defensive line, it's a huge disadvantage in jump balls, and it's more dangerous getting hit hard. It's great if you can get past the defense and get a well thrown ball, but what are the percentages of that happening on this team, considering how long the QB has to hold onto the ball?
