AJ Turner

[BTMGarnet]

Who else is positively intrigued to see him play some nickel this Saturday? I've always been a fan of his effort and he seems like one of those kids that just wants to play no matter what position it is. He's definitely a good enough athlete to pull it off. Listening to CWM, he's had an inkling to try out defense as long as he's been here. This could pay even more dividends next season; more depth in the defensive backfield while the RB unit is still crowded with young guns like Fenwick getting snaps now.

Should be interesting to see

I think AJ Turner will be a big hitter in the secondary.

 

[TheReelEss]

It interests me. But wasn't he just out with injury for the clemson game? I don't recall seeing him play. He has no stats in the game.

I dig it.

I think it will be great I think Denson has stepped up at RB and it will give AJ a chance for more playing time and he can run so have at it.

If he can stand 10 yards off the line of scrimmage and tackle the wide receiver after he gets the first down, he'll fit right with Muschamp's scheme.

I would not want AJ hitting me!

I said it in another A.J. thread; pound for pound, he *delivers* a bigger hit than any other running back we have. Here's hoping he can lay some wood on the defensive side. Go get 'em A.J.!!!!

 

[Horseshoe 04]

We know he can catch too

 

[Triton20x]

Give him credit for trying to fill holes and being a team player!

Love to see a player doing what ever asked to help the team. He always gives his best!

 

[BoykinSpanielCock]

AJ Turner and BAW are my 2 favorite players on this team. With his heart, courage, and running style, can you imagine how good he would be if he was say, 215 lbs.?

 

[IH8FATBRAD]

Turner could play db in the league maybe. Not so sure about rb.

Interesting thought! I guess we'll all see how well he does back there this weekend and if he works at it some more. Maybe he gets time back there next season and proves worthy enough to get a shot in the league. What a life-changing move that could prove to be! I wish him success however it might come though!

This is the only benefit I see here. We don't have a great track record of moving players around to different positions. Hope it works out though.

 

[GC-Gamecock]

The most advantageous thing, to me , is that, as an offensive player, he understands routes, hitting gaps, patience and what they are trying to achieve. He understands what a running back pass to the flat or a screen looks like and as a defensive player can take advantage of it. Hopefully, he can be a step ahead because of it.

 

[davidusc]

I like the character of this team. Team first.

It's a good sign of a healthy program when you have guys like AJ stepping up to help another area of the team. We're thin there and he's trying to do what's best for the team.

I like it and love AJ Turner's attitude.

I'm willing to bet he's thinking about this. You have to figure that this move had to be discussed with his family (in advance) so this may be something he has his eye on. Better to start practicing it now and get live reps in lieu of next season.

 

[king ward]

He's about to have a two-game audition.

 

[jimnasium]

I'm sure he's played the spot before.

After listening to sports radio, it sounds like AJ thinks his future is on the def side? Good for him to think outside the norm and wish him success!

Give you a thumbs up for the Boykin Soc. name. My best friend is a little 36lb female that rides to work with me everyday. Pretty sure with this hot summer she cost me $3k in gas to keep my truck running in the heat!

I have a 10 year old male. He's the best dog I have ever owned.

Did AJ actually see action today?

 

[ken in sacramento]

He did play on defense but not much. He appears to be banged up in the shoulder or neck.

I don't have a problem with AJ playing in the secondary next year but if he does, I want him to start. He's been waiting to be a full time player for a long time. If we sign 2 or 3 more DB's that can play like a couple of the true freshmen did this year, then it might be a crowded secondary next year. If Edwards leaves and since Deebo is gone, AJ could slide over to a slot receiver position where he would be mighty impressive with the ball in his hands.
