Jonathon Mingo makes the 53

[shabazz]

..glad I'm not the coach. That's a job I wouldn't want.

Why not......Jerry sets the roster here, not the head coach.

Garrett got 9 years here to be mediocre and McCarthy got 5 years just to win 1 playoff game.

Being a coach on the Cowboys is winning life's lottery!

Flournoy is a big reason I would be open minded about the WR room. He obviously needs a big camp to show it, but I think he is the guy people are sleeping on and could disrupt the WR3/WR4 competition. If so Tolbert's contract year may work against him. The further they get down the depth chart the more the Cowboys may shift focus from safe veteran depth to developmental players with years of control. Obviously a lot of cards would have to fall right in order for Tolbert's job to be in question, but if a guy like Holden shows promise in camp I could very well see the Cowboys floating Tolbert on the trade market for a late pick. One thing about a new coaching staff is that I would expect some surprise roster decisions in August.

Yep, Flournoy, Holden and Cropper even Campbell should be competing with Mingo.

Maybe Campbell finally gets healthy and balls out. He's just like Matthew Golden whom everyone wanted to draft.

Well, let's hope McCarthy doesn't think Schottenheimer is just like anyone else.

 

[Pass2Run]

He is the best blocker but even if he couldn't block at all he'd make the roster because of the recent investment.

Vince's great grandson Voch Lombardi thinks Tolbert is the odd man out. I don't see it.

Is that truly his great grandson?

 

[speedkilz88]

I think with his bigger body Dallas could use him a little differently, he might not have Deebo's speed but I think he's gotta enough to pull these type of plays off.Blocking down field should be expected from this coaching staff and this new and improved running game.

Deebo had good not great speed. He did have exceptional first step quickness/explosiveness along with RB power. Not sure he has that anymore.

This alone tells you where the Cowboys wide receiver room will be this year. Lacking in depth and once one of the top two goes down production is going to be in the garbage heap.

No team has depth enough to lose their top 2 at the same time. We are pretty deep at WR. Lamb, Pickens as top 2 and experience at the next 3. Obviously if you list both Pickens and lamb you’d struggle but no team has 4 number ones or twos

 

[conner01]

Mingo could be Noah Brown type player, but possibly better.

Isn’t Pickens suppose to be a decent blocker too? May see a bunch of WR screens to Turpin lol

 

[Havic]

No guarantees left makes him an easy cut if he doesn’t perform

Turpin and Blue getting down field blocks on screen plays will be long gains,exciting times are on the horizon. Dallas has some weapons to deal with, both speed and power could be a good match up problem to have this season.

I believe so.

Mingo is the classic awesome looking athlete but can’t play football.

Minor detail.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Lol, that's ridiculous.

Exactly. His career speaks for itself.

Wait....what?

 

[Whyjerry]

Minor detail.

We like our guys

Yeah soon as he comes in you know exactly is coming RUN RUN RUN

 

[Coogiguy03]

Mingo is the classic awesome looking athlete but can’t play football.

We have several players like that on this team

 

[Coogiguy03]

He is making the team because he has the ability that made him a 2nd round pick.

We will hold him to that until the day he dies!!

 

[big dog cowboy]

Yep, Flournoy, Holden and Cropper even Campbell should be competing with Mingo.

None of those 4 are as good as Mingo. Campbell should be.

 

[kskboys]

Mingo is simply irrelevant.

 

[deerhunter11]

Well, let's hope McCarthy doesn't think Schottenheimer is just like anyone else.

Who will be calling the plays Schottenheimer or Adams I wonder,one thing we are going to see for sure is some much better run schemes than McCarthy was running.As well as making the pass and the run look exactly the same at the line of scrimmage before the ball is snapped.

 

[gimmesix]

Mingo could be Noah Brown type player, but possibly better.

Or possibly worse. Not saying he will be, but we held onto Brown for quite a few years, while Mingo was traded in his second year. Of course, we couldn't have gotten a fourth for Brown.
