If Jonathan Mingo makes the 53-man roster

[rambo2]

So, three time pro bowl special teams returner is on the trash heap and Jonathan Mingo is supposed to replace him.

I’m also seeing opinions that Blue can replace Turpin or Downs.

People just willing to completely flush the return team for Mingo or Smith.

That’s wild. And thankfully it will never happen.

Mingo can do more things than Turpin.

mingo is a veteran. in 3 years iin the league he has had zero TD catches...not even an accidental one.

Look I understand what you're saying and I agree to an extent but remember this Rico, it was nothing his first three years Miles Austin was even less than Rico his first three years, Sometimes guys I don't know you know that guy Sam Darnold he didn't do anything his first three years either now he's got a ring faster than Dak and he's not better than Dak but sometimes guys take a little while...

This league's not always an instant league help right now Malik Davis is on that path Took him a while he's starting to show a little bit enough to say you know what maybe he does belong in the NFL..

And I know this is going to sound a little crazy but I like to say this You know that the manster, He wasn't the master his first two years he played special teams he was in the wrong position They were deep at the position he should have been playing but year three that that's when he started showing out then he became just that..

I think in a league where the fans think they like are part of the team because social media the Internet and they over saturation of media and finally ESPN is trimming fat off their schedules and getting rid of a lot of people because they should,

I think you all forget because you think on a daily basis that you have all these analytics and you're seeing what you think you see that you forget that some dudes just take longer to figure it out and sometimes they end up being some pretty damn good players...

 

[rambo2]

turpin is one of the best returners in the game and get the ball in his hands, 2, 3 times a game for his speed, just to keep defense on their toes.

Mingo sucks.

Mingo certainly didn't suck last night.

 

[blueblood70]

Mingo can do more things than Turpin.

No that's not true II think you guys are mixing up because you think the guy is fighting for WR4 and somehow you can compare them no Mingo can't do a single thing that Turpin can do turpin has some of the longest plays from scrimmage on offense He does things behind the line of scrimmage that Mingo can't do He also plays special teams in race in a single way that Mingo could ever be the returner that Turpin can be even on a down year last year..


Look I hope Mingo finds a way to make the team just because we wasted a 4th round pick on him They don't play the same position they don't do the same things blue is the only one that can threaten Turpin's job..facts

I'm not being sarcastic not being real Nothing you said is true He cannot do more things he's bigger that's it so we've seen that million times and right now if you just want to over rate players on what you think you're seeing then Brown the guy who had a great game last week he does the more things than Mingo.. That is who he's battling that is what Mingo has to go up against Even Anthony Smith or whoever's name is from Ohio State or whatever the guy we picked up.. Those are the guys he needs to be looking in the rearview mirror at not Turpin turpin is going to be on this team in some until someone can take his what most might call gadget plays on offense but they are some of the longest plays from scrimmage that we've seen from anybody including George Pickens andLamb last year it was Turpin who have son the biggest plays..

TURPIN Didn't play ,

You know what right because he's a starter and he's penciled in he's not losing his job to mingo,

Mingo needs to worry about the guys who were playing last night That's who he's worried about i'm sorry didn't suck in preseason turpin didn't play because Turpin's already on this team you got that right?

Turpin could be on the team.

 

[blueblood70]

Turpin could be on the team.

Now he's not losing his spot i'm telling you unless he gets an injury he's already one of the starters He starts on special teams he will be in almost every game as a gadget player on offense he has some of the longest plays of scrimmage he's a big play guy he don't do a whole lot else but there's nobody else that can do both those things..

Right now the only guy who could take his spot next year maybe would be Blue and he's got a lot of work to do..

Turpin can't block on offense. Turpin can't cover kicks. Turpin can't be a gunner. Turpin can't block on returns. Turpin can't tackle. Mingo can do all of those things.

dont care Maybe you missed the point they are not competing for the same job turpins already on this team what he does on special teams and does this WR4 has nothing to do with blocking Sorry dude you're so off you don't even realize Turpin is not going anywhere 'cause he's already penciled in as WR4 gadget player and starting returner on both return teams Mingo can't do that..

NEXT

Again look at a review mirror the guys he's competing with are other big receivers on this team they brought in plenty of them but that dude Brown last night already put Mingo on notice,..

This is your mistake You are not in the right debate turpin is not fighting for a spot against Mingo mingo is fighting for a spot on this team against other players and is not named Turpin..

Is he good at it though? Be honest. Forget pro bowls because that is just a popularity contest. I’d rather roll with a RB returning kicks.

I think Blue and Abanikanda are the only RBs to return a kick (3 and 2)

I don’t think either have ever returned a punt.

Which one is ready to win the popularity contest three times?



People minimize special teams until something bad happens.

Brad Sham talked about it last night.

 

[Kwyn]

Mingo can do more things than Turpin.

We need a return specialist

There are a bunch of guys who can be a gunner or block on coverage teams.

How many punts or kicks has Mingo had in an nfl game?

 

[blueblood70]

Brad Sham talked about it last night.

Really so he talked during the game and somehow it's the Bible cause Brad Sham said something?

 

[jazzcat22]

mingo is a veteran. in 3 years iin the league he has had zero TD catches...not even an accidental one.

And he has been injured as well. So less opportunities.
So a WR is only judged on TD’s?

 

[Kwyn]

Turpin can't block on offense. Turpin can't cover kicks. Turpin can't be a gunner. Turpin can't block on returns. Turpin can't tackle. Mingo can do all of those things.

If you have to go in for open heart surgery, you want a cardiac surgeon with the scalpel in hand.

You don’t want a physicians assistant, an anesthesiologist or a scrub nurse, even if all of them are rolled into one person.

2 that I remember last night. I think that Downs is better than Turpin.

 

[rambo2]

Really so he talked during the game and somehow it's the Bible cause Brad Sham said something?

He brought it up after the game. I was thinking that before he brought it up. I think that it isn't a big deal to not have Turpin on this team and it does fit if you go with Brown and Mingo.

 

[blueblood70]

He brought it up after the game. I was thinking that before he brought it up. I think that it isn't a big deal to not have Turpin on this team and it does fit if you go with Brown and Mingo.

Let me bring this up again It would be not a big deal to not have Brown and Mingle on this team and just stick with the offense that was one of the top offenses in the league last year and bring back our only real returner you can see it both ways and II fail to see how you think too unproven commodities that some you singing in preseason in practice somehow like we talked about holding last year we've talked about Jalen Cropper in the past by the way he's doing that over whatever team he's with Nas I heard his name while I was doing something on my computer there was replay of a game of a preseason game and Bam Cropper's name came up again Somehow he's not making teams even though he's doing a lot in preseason and camps

Let me give you the rundown they resigned Turpin so he's got a contract he came from TCU where he played very well and yes he took the long route through the UFO but he was one of the better players in the UFL and most of the time that he's been here he's still making big plays even last year when you think he had a down year he was still one of the better returners in the league I would go to the fact that there wasn't good blocking the special teams coach is and did have a lot to work with You do understand that with all the injuries to the defense most of those players actually were also supposed to play special teams and then they were watered down with due to had to play and start that weren't very good and now they even got more water down on special teams And then again he made more plays in the regular season and real games on offense than any of those two dudes have ever done..

That's nice that you're picking and choosing guys who have never done a single thing in the NFL over somebody who has in 2 different leagues and in college Has a better resume and somehow you're booting him off this team because you think he had a down year last year and he shouldn't be here because we wouldn't miss him now I think you're wrong..

Turpin is a niche player he has a niche here that not one of those people could fill I'm sorry he can't cause Blue haven't even proven he can do it and imagine Blue and I really like him 'cause I'm a Longhorn fan getting hit on returns and fumbling in big moments when you have a guy that can catch the ball and do what Turpin can do and somehow you all are misled into thinking that's just not a big deal that you can field punts and kicks without fumbling the football and making something out of it and some of the biggest plays from scrimmage on offense went to Turpin even if it was in spot dirty and gadget playing yes I'm rambling 'cause I don't understand how you think that we couldn't do without Brown and Mingo because 100 percent we haven't done anything with Brown and Mingo and we have done things with Turpin..

geez, are you always this uptight!!!! and literal!!! you missed the forest because of the trees

no, he is measured by his production. in three years in the league he has had
610 yards, 61 receptions, 0 TDs in 38 games....that's awful for a 2nd round pick.

and yes, part of his job is to catch a few TDs.... you noticed I said ZERO tds. ZERO as non, nada, nothing, never seen the endzone...how is that even possible.

his best year was his rookie year and he has gotten worse ever since. there is zero upside to mingo. if he is the 6th WR then might as well invest in a younger kid with some upside.
