re: Why are Claiborne and Mingo busting?

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.

This is another thing, peoples bodies don't hold up as well as others.
And I don't fault mo, he got his money, he made it. For some, that's all it was about. Not the love of the game, but as their best opportunity to make money. Less motivation now.

And injuries, Claiborne just isnt built for run support in the NFL.

Didn't need to keep reading the thread after this. Exactly.
