    No Moore this weekend . That makes it easier for mims to get reps. Let’s see what the staff give him.

    All these posts raise valid points, pro and con, but I think I'm going to trust JD and Saleh to figure Mims out. They're certainly not infallible, but they have a plan and they're building to it. Hopefully Mims is part of it because he has exceptional physical tools, but there's lots of stuff we don't ever see with players, so we can't really make a good assessment.

    I'm sure the CS did their homework on the entire roster so they had to know the history.

    Yes, but the past few editions of that were frauds.

    I've watched Mims' feet during the Giants game a number of times and they just aren't that nimble. I think his best bet is to hit the weight room so he can out-muscle players better for contested catches and also handle himself at the LOS against physical corners. Plus block.

    Mims is a fantastic blocker already. Which is why I thought he would fit this system like a glove. WRs who can block are golden in an outside zone scheme.

    Interesting observation. As with so many problems athletes have, it starts with the feet. Good catch.

    he doesn’t have the lightest feet but there’s a reason he was trying to play at 217 that’s for sure.

    Agreed plus he’s already good at those things.

    To me, it’s an indictment on the coaches if they can’t find a spot for Mims on this roster.

    I’ve held my opinion here until now. Play Mims as much as possible this year and then decide. He obviously has talent. At least he has size and speed. Whether he fits this offense or gels with the current franchise QB can not be determined unless it’s on the field. It’s probably not a playoff year for us so just do it. Play Mms. Cutting him would be a stupid move. PLAY MIMS. End this thread.
