Bryant is Mingo Mingo is Bryant.

Using him in coverage means he's not he as was billed. It means he's been less than marginal.. Not buying that load of crap... And no. I'm not sorry I feel this way.. He blows.
No, you blow.
They put him coverage because he is better at it than Sheard and Kruger. Try reading the comments from Pettine instead of making dumb-ass statements.

Ok now make lemonade from lemons Gilbert and Desir.
Do you realistically believe that EVERY player drafted must be good immediately? Can you site a single team or a GM that hits on every player? Is it fair to rip the GM on a bad pick, the same year he hits it out of the park with FA's, UDFA's and 80% of his draft picks?
If you ignore how well Farmer has done and can only see that Gilbert isn't performing well, then you have no clue how the draft(and player acquisition) really works or how successful ALL teams typically are in selecting players. Completely unrealistic expectations.
Even if Gilbert ends up sucking(and it's way too early to say that), this was an incredibly successful off season in terms of locating and getting players for this team.
Yet, all we hear about is the one negative, instead of being happy with the 20 positives.

Agreed
Farmer:
Brought in all three of our running backs that everyone is raving about, None of them here last year.
Brought in all three of our leading receivers, none of them here last year, all performing well.
Drafted Boitono to cement the OL as one of the league's best
Drafted Kirksey who is playing above his draft status.
Brought in Williams who is up for NFL defensive rookie of the week
Gilbert, Manziel and Desir need more time to develop? I'm down with that. Because all three were trendous TALENT picks ... doesn't mean they are NFL ready from day one.

Mingo looks like a basketball player wearing pads...
He needs to fill out that huge frame and he'll give offensive lineman something else to think about other than getting blown by.
Sheard and Kruger use their strength and quickness, Mingo is a one trick pony right now, who will probably start to make plays once opposing teams are in must pass situations.
And Bryant, the guy who most teams passed on for selling weed, does in fact look hungry out there, excited to see him earn more reps..

Mingo missed out on the HGH train when he could have used it to bulk up.

My money says that Farmer's proposed picks last yr were rejected by Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber who had final say.

evidently mingo doesn't want to bulk up. he has done nothing to disprove the allegations of his cuntness.
likely wasted first round pick

were't we marveling at some of the plays Mingo was making in the preseason? The dude is the most freakish athlete on the defense, a lot of us here have been wondering whether it might be a good idea to use him as a coverage LB'er given that we have Sheard and Kruger on the roster. Might it not be a bad idea to develop a LB'er that can follow some of the best athletes in the game, ie Graham or Davis, into the flat? We seem to be developing a pass rush strategy that relies on collapsing the pocket instead of running around it...which I kind of think makes sense if you have the guys to carve it off properly. Mingo may not be suited for that. I think he would make one of the nastiest blitzing LB'ers in the NFL.

Mingo was our sack leader last year wasn't he? Bust? really? Last year Kruger put up a giant facepalm but so far this year he's our best defensive player so let's ease on up on the bust talk regarding Mingo. It's his 2nd year as well as his 2nd defensive scheme. He's basically a rookie all over again.

He's basically a rookie all over again.
Especially when you consider his limited playing time last season.
