Jonathon Mingo makes the 53

[rambo2]

Why?

Because he doesn't know what he is talking about.

 

[FaSho]

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


Looked the part tho.

Roy Williams actually produced in Detroit though, and looked like a top WR at one point. Once he started to decline, Jerry traded for him lol

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.

S we traded a 4th round pick for a blocking WR ? .. Are we going back into the Noah Brown dayz again ?

 

[Pass2Run]

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

That's actually my comp for Mingo. But I think Brown is actually better.

I hope someone steps up and takes his spot. I'd rather have a productive receiver than a blocking receiver.

 

[Pass2Run]

Carolina sucks.

Because they suck at drafting talent.

 

[vlad]

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

I can’t see Jerry not having him on the roster.

 

[Risen Star]

He is the best blocker but even if he couldn't block at all he'd make the roster because of the recent investment.

Vince's great grandson Voch Lombardi thinks Tolbert is the odd man out. I don't see it.

 

[Carter]

Theres no way that he beats Tolbert for the #3 spot. Probably going to battle Turpin/Holden/Flournoy/Brooks for the #4 spot.

 

[Mr_437]

Imo Mingo is a lock. I have one spot up for grabs at WR as the Top 5 are already set. The thing to look out for is injuries because that's the only way the down roster guys may get a spot.

 

[Rayman70]

Pulling for him. But it's June. We don't have a crystal ball. Injury can change every outcome or projection. Let's just chill out and wait. Baby steps.

Tolbert or Flournoy might have big years. Tolbert is in a contract year I think. Or he's coming up on it. He's worth keeping your eyes on.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Mingo was probably a lock to make it this year the second Jerry traded for him.

 

[kskboys]

Because he doesn't know what he is talking about.

That doesn't make sense.

 

[phildadon86]

That doesn't make sense.

It does if you know the posters history.

No one knows what they are talking about. Except him.

Hmmmmmm

Flournoy is a big reason I would be open minded about the WR room. He obviously needs a big camp to show it, but I think he is the guy people are sleeping on and could disrupt the WR3/WR4 competition. If so Tolbert's contract year may work against him. The further they get down the depth chart the more the Cowboys may shift focus from safe veteran depth to developmental players with years of control. Obviously a lot of cards would have to fall right in order for Tolbert's job to be in question, but if a guy like Holden shows promise in camp I could very well see the Cowboys floating Tolbert on the trade market for a late pick. One thing about a new coaching staff is that I would expect some surprise roster decisions in August.

Yip. I agree. In very limited action, I saw a guy with high energy and yac potential. Very physical. But raw. Needs reps and meaningful playing time.

Completely agree, and the big thing I see is that the areas he struggles at seem to be coachable issues, which shouldn't be unexpected out of a player from Southeast Missouri State. It seems like a lot of footwork and route running discipline issues. His future is likely going to depend on how quick it he can get up NFL speed.

 

[CyberB0b]

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

You don't know Jerry Jones very well.

 

[deerhunter11]

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

I think with his bigger body Dallas could use him a little differently, he might not have Deebo's speed but I think he's gotta enough to pull these type of plays off.Blocking down field should be expected from this coaching staff and this new and improved running game.
