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

[RonWashington]

Look like Tarzan, play like Jane.

Not Slater . Leave her out of this .

 

[shabazz]

The one big positive is that going from the Panthers organization to this one should be pretty seamless

 

[RonWashington]

Jerry has now dispatched multiple 4’s for a QB who can’t hit the field and another WR when Defense needs HELP . Brooks Flournoy so they go back to witness protection status ?

Carolina gets a 4 which should be early in that round , given the garbage record that might be piled up Dallas will be drafting early every round . WR wasn’t even on my list of needs next April or in Free agency .

Let's hope his play justifies his impressive physical appearance, although, it may take a while for him to familiarize with our offense. Patience will be required for things to go impressively. Let's face it -- we have little to lose, as badly as we need another decent WR. Cee Dee really needs help! In fact, it's entirely possible CD won't be able to play, with that shoulder still needing time to heal. We'll see how it goes. I'm wishing the team well.

Respect everything you are saying here with the exception of "it may take a while for him to familiarize..." that made me smile. Should take about 3 seconds if all the defenses in the NFL know what we are doing before the ball is snapped.

Find the kids best route and let him run it this week please.

He's built differently for a WR. Looks like a huge TE or should play on the line in the trenches.

 

[Ranching]

Cmon, everyone knows Sourman Urine Hymen!

I liked Mingo alot last year. Im hopeful, but there is alot working against.

We all had him in our final mocks. Very hard to evaluate him being in such a bad situation, but he really hasn't made much of an impact yet.

 

[Cowboyny]

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"

He was a prospect many love on the draft thread, has all the physical tools, just needs development. I think many are unjustly killing this kid cause of the price Jerry paid, but he has more upside then any receiver outside of Lamb in our WR room.

 

[Cowboyny]

Which means he's slow and won't separate

4.4 speed is fast enough.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

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

I have seen you do nothing but rag hard on Cooper.

 

[Cowboyny]

Flournoy 6’1 200-205 a physical YAC receiver exactly the traits Mingo has . My point is Dallas can’t seem to incorporate the receivers on the roster yet they trade for a receiver

Cowboys have also had a distinct prototype for the position, 6'2 over 200 lbs 4.4 speed. He is an ideal fit for what they seek.

Jerry pretty much overpays for everything.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

When Romo looked like that people called him fat.

I'm glad to see some bulk at wr spot.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You know it’s been a down season when some fans are getting all juiced up over a bust from Carolina.

I think some might call it being a fan of the team.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

What the hell do they feed Ole Miss receivers? AJ Brown, DK, Mingo…fast and brolic.

Exactly......funny, I thought AJ Brown watching his tapes. He's a big kid

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Exactly......funny, I thought AJ Brown watching his tapes. He's a big kid

That’s the comparison. AJ Brown. Heard it all during the draft process. Maybe it was lazy because of the college and size. If he’s a poor man’s AJ Brown that will be our second best receiver.

Yea, I just posted he reminds me of AJ Brown.

 

[Creeper]

I don't care what anyone says, the player, the coaches, his teammates, the owner, the fans or the media. I am done with all that. I will judge him by what he does on the field. I hope he succeeds, but I hoped Mazi would succeed to. It is up to the player.

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?

That would surprise me since Flournoy is a rookie and Brooks is just in his second year. If/When Cooks returns, we will have to make room of the roster, so I could see us sending Brooks to the practice squad.
