Why has Kellen not given Turpin at least 2-5 touches per game?

Why has Kellen not given this guy at least 2-5 touches per game. He’s exactly the type of momentum spark we need during these games.

Because K. Moore likes to frustrate us to death!!

 

[TheCoolFan]

They're still trying to figure out how to utilize Pollard after 4 years. No chance on Turpin being a factor in this offense

 

[DoctorChicken]

He doesn’t even need touches. Sending him deep once or twice a game could open up the underneath passing game a little.

 

[Creeper]

I think against a team like the Eagles getting Turpin in as a 4th or 5th receiver would have been a smart thing to do. The Cowboys were using Zeke and Pollard as WRs last night.

Because they are clueless?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Moore isn’t using our weapons because that’s precisely what our opponents expect…

It probably went unnoticed by most, but Turpin almost broke the opening kick-off.

 

[Mr_437]

Yep, Turp should get a jet sweep and a screen pass a game.

Almost broke 3 last night his Returns sparked our drives he wanted 1 so bad

 

[glimmerman]

Turpin would have been a great idea. Of course we don’t do it. Moore is not a good situational play caller.

Lamb got 8 yards on the one. Turp might be in Kentucky by now had he gotten it.

Because he is a fool, no other way to put it. One of only a couple of guys that can change a game and other than punts and KO he doesn’t touch the dang ball.

So tired of the damn jet sweep

 

[JayFord]

Because you have to work your way into the rotation

i want Turpin in there too, but sometimes it may be other reasons

 

[thunderpimp91]

Easier said than done to get him 2-5 touches a game unless you want to give him significant snaps. If you give him 2-3 touches on 5-6 snaps then teams just hone in on him when he is in the game. You completely lose the element of surprise. Now if you give him 20+ snaps and you've motioned him into that jet motion without giving him the ball multiple times it works when you do actually hand him the ball. That is the biggest problem with these gadget players, they really need to become complete players otherwise you're wasting meaningful snaps to set up on play to get them the ball in space. Now if the Cowboys do want to use Turpin in that 2-5 touches per game role without giving him a bigger role in the offense it makes a whole lot of sense to wait until later in the year to put that on tape.

they asked McCarthy about sending Turpin deep, ..and Mac said a lot has to do with press release and his length in running under catches ..

Would could've used BOTH Pollard and Turpin on jet sweeps like we see Rams run jet sweeps with their WRs, .. not just for Kupp but Turpin and Pollard would
have to be in those type formations so teams cannot beam and predict what they will be doing.

We just have the most imaginative coaches in this Kellen offense. .

 

[Starstruck22]

because he is a moron

Turpin would be a 2nd round fantasy pick next season if if would of signed with the Chiefs.
