No that is not clear at all. On the deep pass he had 2 steps on the defender but the ball was grossly underthrown and on the comeback he was wide open and Rush sailed the ball 5 yards out of bounds.
Mingo will develop in this offense before this season is done, but one area of his game that fans are overlooking is his downfield blocking ability and element that he will bring to a WR room desperately lacking the ability to do so.

Maybe I am imagining things, but it seems every time Rush targets Mingo he throws a bad pass. Rush targeted Mingo 4 times yesterday and Mingo had 1 catch for 2 yards. That was a short pass Rush threw low and Mingo had to crouch down to catch it. 2 other passes were way off target, and one Mingo was well covered and had to fight for the ball which fell incomplete.

I am not expecting much out of Mingo, but I'd like to see Rush throw him some catchable balls at least.
Rush can’t throw. He knows the offense but he has a bee bee gun for an arm. Mingo reminds me of Noah Brown. We won’t see what he can do until Dak returns unfortunately. The kid can block though. Mingo cold cocked a linebacker on a sweep play.

Still wondering is Mingo better than Flournoy, granted I missed the 1st half of the game.

Timing, sweetheart.

Rush throws timing routes. Ever think that MAYBE Mingo didn't run an exact enough route? Think, man, one of the big reasons he was available is poor route running. Hmmmm...

It's not Rush, it's Mingo. The dude didn't have the skills to shake and bake his defenders in Carolina and he doesn't have the skills to get separation in Dallas either. Rush is throwing to a spot and he can't help it if the defenders are running better routes than Mingo. Yep, another GREAT 4th rd PICKUP BY THE GREAT GM of the Cowboys...............

He will? What makes you think so?

Rush and Mingo just started working together. I doubt Mingo knows the offense very well but the team is trying to get something out of him to justify trading for him.

Gaining chemistry takes time, just look how Dak/Lamb were off early in the season due to Lamb missing the offseason.

Rush has only been taking starter's reps for a few weeks, Mingo just got here at the trade deadline, is it any wonder there seems to be a disconnect? I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Mingo has been a bust since he’s been in the league. I ain’t worried but he is what he is.

Mingo isn't bad and he helps with the running game.

I agree high low double covered etc made no sense should have went elsewhere, it was almost like there was some kind of discussion to get him some targets and they told him to force it to him you know what I mean something you know this team would do Mike McCarthy hey this is gonna be wingo's series let's just throw in the ball no matter what blah blah blah I mean This is why Mike McCarthy needs to be fired

I did like that they tried to get Turpin going early but again they kept doing the short passes I wanna see more slant and go we call them slogos more double move off the line or from motion and then straight across the field hard slants or hard nines maybe a double move 9 but this dude needs to be out in open space not just near the line of scrimmage so this stuff is just becoming normal around here it's just bad play designs bad calls I mean I like that they tried to get him more involved but they still didn't really do it in my opinion the right way.. It was nice to see Rico and Turpin finally get their due which should have happened about six weeks ago that's again why I want Mike McCarthy fired.. Rico shouldn't have had to wait this long for his first touchdown and I'm betting he would've had four 100 yard games had he been fed properly in games like Pittsburgh and up until now I could see 4-100 yard games it wouldn't look so bad if our coach knew what he was doing.
