The guy has been injured since before he was drafted. Did he have this kind of history problem in college? I have been pretty hard on him for his play, but it's hard to get better when you barely get on the field.

He and Carter were supposed to be two of the stronger players on the defense this season. Real shame that these two have been so underwhelming.

Mo just isn't a very good football player, and hes fragile. Not a good combination.

In my opinion, they've both shown flashes. Whether those "flashes" amount to anything is up to debate, but such drastic scheme changes can really be rough on younger players. I'm willing to be patient with both for now.

I don't follow LSU but I don't think he was known to have injury problems in college.

I actually thought Mo had a pretty decent rookie season and was looking forward to seeing him play better this season but he's been hurt and when he was on the field, he seemed lost in many situations. I'm not giving up on him yet but he's been disappointment this season, I hope he gets healthy and plays better whenever he comes back from the injury.

Mo wasn't known to have injury problems at LSU. It's clear he needs to stay in Dallas this off season and work on his issues. The last thing we need is to deal with this his entire career.

Then you haven't been paying attention. Mo has all of the talent, he just needs to get himself on the field. I'm not ready to give him the injury prone tag yet. He still needs to get a little bigger in the offseason and that will help with his injury problems.

Not sure. I'm actually planning on breaking down his film later today for the board. Just from the last game though and compare and contrast it with last years efforts from Giants games.

oh he 'flashed' on one play last year

he is the best CB since deion so please speak with the necessary respect

he is only in his second year, he needs to put on some weight, he is learning a new scheme

all the usual excuses apply

You know, it would be great if just once you actually added something to the conversation, as opposed to just bashing other's points without actually explaining the bases for your criticism.

I remember an interview from this past offseason. In it he talked about his rookie year. One of the things that really stood out to me was him talking about the later part of the season and this came outta his mouth "I was thinking towards the end of the year, man I gotta do this again today" in regards to practicing. He then went on to talk about being more commited to football this year. I just don't believe this dude wants to play, I thin he is just collecting a check at this point. No heart.......

It's always funny to me how much fans will overanalyze passing comments from players. Reminds me of my ex girlfriend.
