The Cowboys traded for Jon Domingo for 1/4 rounder.

You, you start here.

What Dallas needed was a guy that is gonna be more of a true outside man coverage beater and like Mingo is not that they like to do 5050 stuff with CD lamb.

Maybe he gets more slot reps, he moves around all that stuff.

As soon as I saw that trade happen, I was like, really, it’s a glorified gadget guy.

It’s a Mingo’s college tape.

Was him lining up at tight end and running across the field lining up at the slot.

So Mingo’s usage looked like Elijah Moore’s usage at Ole Miss because they were the, you know, uh LK, I was like, I know where my bread is buttered.

This one is thumbs down for me.

Not for the Panthers side, good for you guys.

Um but not for the Cowboys side because this is just, this isn’t the role Jerry Jones says, oh yeah, we’re putting D on Ir for at least four weeks and then we’re also trading for a receiver and he’s like, do you hear yourself as soon as you say the first part that should make the second part never happen.

That should be, oh, we’re putting Dak on Ir Trey Lance, get out there.

Let’s see what you got and that should be the rest of your season.

Yeah, I, I didn’t understand this at all for the Cowboys.

Um, but like I said, good for the Panthers.

Forget something.

But when you need the biggest compliment I can give a player, special receiver is that they’re scheme proof.

That means it doesn’t matter who the play caller is, what their role is, they’re going to contribute to the game.

You get this guy like you just said, who needs so much help just to be functional?

That’s not a guy you trade for.

That’s just bad teambuilding to me just, I don’t care what he ever ends up becoming.
