Versatile....
Either Billy Turner's getting tossed had a revolutionary effect on him, or the Dolphins staff were horrible in developing/using him...

It's not entirely uncommon for guys to thrive in a certain system and fail in another. Especially along the line where scheme and the guy next to you matter a heck of a lot.
Not to say he got the best coaching here but I'm not sure his success is a product of himself being world's better. -
It's easy to assume that every other team is smarter than the Dolphins, but it's not necessarily true. We need to keep perspective on the fact that other teams make stupid decisions all the time.
Just because the Packers handed Turner some cash, doesn't mean he's all of a sudden a great player. It could just mean the Packers made a mistake. We just always have the tendency to assume we're the ones making the mistake.
Additionally, it no longer matters. Value is all that matters at this point, so a lot of these decisions going forward may have more to do with money than with talent.Surfs Up 99 likes this. -

He was truly awful as a Dolphin. There were likely multiple reasons for that. But I'm not going to wish that we had him back.

The question becomes why was he so terrible for us, yet perfectly adequate for another team? The OL situation in Miami has been a joke for over 5 years, that’s on the coaches/organization not the players. -
Maybe their unit is just more cohesive.resnor likes this. -
I'd say the easiest way to look at this is to think about players that Miami drafted that might have been a lot better had they ended up somewhere else. And vice versa, had so & so been drafted by Miami, he likely wouldn't have ended up being as good as he actually is.
Sadly, the Dolphins have been bad place for rookies to end up for a long time. We all want that to change. -
I saw him get out muscled and run over. Looked clueless. You can blame it on the coaches is you want but maybe him getting cut light a fire under him. Ranked 33rd best guard is not great. SO he took a step from turnstile 3 plays a game to turnstile once a game.

Turner was always a good run blocker, and needed to improve his pass pro technique, which never happened under our previous coaches. IMO, Turner should have never been cut along with Dallas Thomas who was a true detriment. Just one of many of Gase's failed power trip moves.

I remember people who knew OL play commenting that we were playing Turner out of position which was affecting his pass pro.
