robert turbin

I'm sick of him, he is a failure when it comes to running the football and being an effective change of pace running back. When defenders converge on him he seems to get brought down very easily. His performance today on special teams was truly special, weather it was spinning around all over the place because a gust of wind kicked up, or coughing up the ball like a moron before anybody even touched him is god dam inexcusable.

He's a bum, cut his ass and put Christine Michael in or sign a running back from a practice squad.

Thanks for letting me know he messed up. I am sure he did it on purpose.

Did we ever run him between the tackles? The only plays I saw had him tying to rush around the ends.

How many Turbin threads do you think we need?

He's certainly losing his luster for me, but I'm not ready to blame him being out of place as a return man on him. Is it not obvious that he is not a return specialist? He's got zero burst out of the gates and it's just awful.

I dont want to hear the name turbin and ball security ever again

I have been asking ever since we put him back there on kickoffs, why the heck they thought it was a good idea. He'd held onto the ball previously, but has a tendency to carry it too high and wide. Also, he has no "Wiggle" - he's a straight ahead runner who can flash for a few yards, but lacks the ability to make people miss. And THAT'S what you NEED in a kick returner. Baldwin looked great back there, which isn't really a surprise...have no idea why we hadn't tried it previously.

Back to Turbin though - that was truly putrid - he didn't even get hit...and given how lackluster he'd been all game in running the ball back, I have NO IDEA why he didn't take a knee in the endzone.

It seemed as if teams kicked it short just so Turbin would run it out. I never thought much about Turbin before but man is he slow, clumsy and uncoordinated. I mean he really looks pathetic when is in motion. He must have one hell of a personality or something that the coaches like. I can't be the only one that when he is put in, cringes. Just watching Turbin try to run is hilarious. It's like watching someone run while carrying and trying to balance a huge stack of pizza boxes.

Obviously, he did it to piss me off. And it worked!

Turbin being discussed here.
