Why are Claiborne and Mingo busting?

Dallas runs a zone scheme with their DBs and their pass rush has been nonexistent.

Mingo was forced into a OLB position when he's clearly a WDE.

Great players in the wrong systems.

A mixture of personal failings and schematic misfits.

You take a press man guy in college and make him a cover two squatter on a team with no pass rush. You take an undersized end with speed and make him cover backs and tight ends. Then you wonder why those guys aren't producing like they did in college.

Add to that that Mingo had a serious shoulder injury, Claiborne has had a bunch of serious injuries, Mingo can't keep weight on, and Claiborne didn't appear motivated for large parts of his early career.

Mingo production in college didnt match his draft selection.
Have no clue on Mo. Thought he was going to be a stud.

Mingo was just a freak athlete with hardly any pass rushing moves or ability.

College tape screams that.

Unfortunately, he went to a team that could not help him develop him at all in Cleveland

They just didn't fit the defensive system. I hope to see Mingo purely used as a OLB pass rusher and Mo in a man-based coverage system.

Because CPM is the worst coach ever and we have a pitcher coaching 3rd base.

Most Cowboy fans felt like Claiborne busted only because of where he was drafted along with injury plagued first few seasons. This year, most Dallas fans that I know, see him as a player and I believe he will be fine. Don't know if can say the same for Mingo. He may benefit from a change of scenery.

Hope all of our guys who got drafted in late rounds this year prove to be all pros!

Bought the Mama a house and an Escalade they are sucessful

Claiborne was overrated. He should have been a late first round pick, which still makes him a great prospect, but wouldn't make him anywhere near the bust he's considered now.

Mingo was always a mystery to me. He was freakishly fast and extremely strong for his size. However, while he was strong enough to hold his own against college tackles, he's not strong enough to handle NFL linemen. And while he's fast as hell for a DE, he's not good enough in space for a LB.

So not strong enough for an NFL DE and not mobile enough for a LB - he's a tweener. He looked like a tweener before the draft, and that's just what he's turned out to be - another Renaldo Turnbull.
