Twitter: First look at new WR Jonathan Mingo No. 81

[Coogiguy03]

Oh please you saw all of this in a few minutes

 

[Coogiguy03]

wow, big dude. He's like hybrid TE/WR.. lol...

Which means he's slow and won't separate

 

[MarcusRock]

This is what stands out........big kid. Watching his tapes, I thought while his tapes how big his hands were, and my goodness 10 3/8"

Didn't I see that he had a 50+% catch rate though. Are those hands dipped in butter before games? Lol. Honestly, I would start him and throw the first ball his way, then try like Hades to get him a TD just so he knows what it feels like in the big leagues. Woold be a helluva confidence boost.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Maybe Cooper Rush will have someone to throw the ball to in the end zone. All his throws are high.

Reminds me of someone

 

[lkelly]

Really shocked that Jerry didn't make CeeDee give up 88 so that Mingo could have it.

 

[Coogiguy03]

I LIKE HIS VOICE, sounds like a real football player and not a doctor

 

[deerhunter11]

Hopefully this thing turns out

You would think that Dallas would get lucky on one of these trades at some point.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Haha Lord of the Rings stuff

 

[KJJ]

I can believe that part.

He's an unknown to.us until he isnt. The. He can join the long line of failed experiments.

In the position the Cowboys are in with the season pretty much down the drain, especially with Dak out for what could end up being the season, we should have been selling rather than buying. We need as many draft picks as we can get. It made no sense to trade a 4th round pick for a WR that’s done virtually nothing. It’s what we gave up that bothers me. We came up with Dak and Pollard with 4th round picks. We’ll see how it goes with Mingo but it’s yet another roll of the dice on a player that was given up on by their original team.

If he can be consistent enough to take double teams off Cee Dee , it's a good trade.He's big maybe he can break some tackles .

So I'm sure this has been discussed in some other thread here, but humor me if so....

Should we assume one or both of Flournoy and Brooks have sooooo disappointed that neither took the next step, that now, one of them will be off the 53 shortly?

Nope, I would think that they both stay on the 53.

Tolbert is safe, Turpin is safe, and I think Flournoy is safe...leaves Brooks and Cooks. My gut tells me it will be Cooks as the odd man out. With the way the season is most likely to unfold no sense having Cooks being a progress stopper (last year of deal anyway). Use these games to develop these young players. Plus, it's not like Cooks has been anything special for us anyway and most certainly isn't going to spark the offense.

Cooks is still injured and doesn't count on the 53 I think.

I would propose that Brooks and Flournoy had been regarded as occupying the "big physical" WR role... and that one of them is going to be relegated as a consequence of a third one being acquired.

 

[jujoboys]

Next coming of To?

Please don’t give Jerry any material. He has already compared Flournoy to Dez Bryant.

 

[baltcowboy]

Maybe Laurent Robinson

If he is Robinson then that is a good trade. I hope people are not expecting Cooper.

Yes, Cooks has not been activated from IR. He is not counting against the 53.

 

[deerhunter11]

I'll just root for the kid and enjoy the ride. Sometimes, to waste my energy thinking about our FO and the J family just wears me out beyond acceptable

His film in college looked promising ,big and fast good looking wide reciever prospect.We may get lucky for once.

Phillips was released to make room for Mingo and once Cooks is able to come back that will put the team back to 54...so, who gets axed?

I thought I heard that Cooks isn't going to be ready for a while. They also released Booth too and then signed him back to the practice squad.
