I have to agree. I was pumped when Dallas drafted him. I followed his career closely while he was at K-State and thought the Cowboys could get some elements of Sproles out of him.
Yes.
I think it is absolutely the way they are using him. Hell he isn't even really getting a chance until late game for the most part and it's when the defense knows you're just trying to run the clock. That doesn't really play into his skill set at all. Running him up the gut against an 8 man box isn't really what is going to showcase his talents.
If he absolutely can’t run vs an 8-man front, then his career will be over before it begins.
Yeah I'm not saying he can't do it. It's just not going to likely end up with any sort of real hole. I'd like to see him get some runs where it feels like he has some room to run.
At this stage, they are still figuring how to use Turpin, so this might be painful to watch.
Yeah, I mean as of right now he hasn't had a real role in the offense. But the injury to Dowdle may force it a bit. He is a rookie, I'm not pushing the panic button that he hasn't carved out a role yet. But if they don't eventually than they might as well just get a run of the mill RB to be a backup.
Fucking Don Beebe special.
Yep.
