Even a few of his third down conversion runs this year were extremely good runs. The guy is a special talent and fans should be excited we have a guy like that behind Lynch.
I've been as frustrated as anyone that he hasn't gotten on the field more but he's looked great when given the chance. I don't understand all the hate with him.

He's not proven to be reliable in pass pro or in terms of holding onto the ball.
We can't complain about Russ getting pummeled or chased while simultaneously saying put Michael in the line-up. Turbin has been playing excellent ball. And has for quite some time, actually. Today was the first fumble of his career (as a back) and look how long it took him to get back on the field after that fumble.
To the poster that said " I'm done with Turbin. I see no upside with him honestly". Dude, you have much to learn about the position. Fortunately Pete knows the position well and you can bet Turbin is one of his favorite players on this team. Even while being disciplined.

The fumble is unfortunate but it was a messy game and we came out with a win. C Mike I like him as well and hope to see more from him, but it's up to the coach who gets the playing time.

Dude, I can guarantee you that if C Mike continues to make big plays without coughing up the rock,
he'll see more touches spelling Lynch than Turbin.

Basis4day":331nkm86 said:Guys, c'mon. It is openly known that Michael's playing time is very much associated with his blocking. When the staff is satisfied with his blocking he will play more.

Done with Turbin?
OK.
ZagHawk":3d08q6qt said:Although CM has not shown any consistent big runs, the fact that he gets a few is huge. I can't remember the last good Turbin run that wasn't called back due to holding. Not to mention Turbin's ball security is very questionable. I guess it's hard to hold onto a football when you got a bowling ball for a bicep.
