Jonathon Mingo makes the 53

[deerhunter11]

Jonathon Mingo makes the 53 man roster ,not because Dallas traded a 4th round pick for him .Mingo makes the 53 because he is simply the best blocker they have at the wide receiver position on the roster.His blocking down field will help this running game work,Mingo is shining in Mini Camp catching all 6 passes thrown his way.With Mingo's body type The Cowboys could use him differently than the rest of these receivers.He could be used like San Francisco uses Deebo Samuel ,put Mingo in packages where he catches short passes and let him use his size and athleticism to break tackles.I think he helps this team in both the running game and the passing game,he is just a different player use him like it,lets discuss.

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

That’s a great point about his blocking ability. It turns short or medium yardage passes into big plays. Coaches love that stuff.

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

 

[TNCowboy]

He’ll make the 53 because his salary is guaranteed.

 

[Praxit]

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

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.

He only had 6 passes throw t him in all of minicamp?

A salary of less than $1.6M being guaranteed is not going to be the reason a guy makes the 53

 

[ElGatoGrande]

It's difficult for me to have an opinion on Mingo since last year was a throwaway year. Will he and Dak connect? Don't know.

This indeed

 

[This is Our Year]

Like WR Roy Williams. Granted, he was decent just never as good as he could have been.


Looked the part tho.

 

[plasticman]

I think he will make the team, but will he be WR3?

It's going to be a battle between him and Tolbert and I think Tolbert is leading.

However, If Joe Milton gets on the field during the regular season, his role might increase.

Lol, that's ridiculous.

The receiver room looks very good. The depth is good.

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

 

[speedkilz88]

There was less than 50 passes thrown in two days of minicamp. There are 12 WRs, 7 TEs & 6 RBs on the roster. He's battling Tolbert for the 3rd WR spot.

 

[KingCorcoran]

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

Or the ability that got him traded for a 4th round pick.

 

[Jipper]

He's our 4th round pick. Of course he's on the roster

 

[slick325]

He makes the 53 with no mystery or question.
