On the third page it states questionable
Roquan / Mooney / Skrine / Johnson updates

Doesn't sending a 174 lb wr on such short routes subject him to more punishment from guys a lot bigger? I guess the rationale is that he can possibly take a short pass and outrace a lb or de to the house, but...

The rationale is that it would totally catch the defense off guard

I have never been to keen on seeing speedsters, especially wr's with average per catch around 10 yards. You can get that from a 4.85 TE.

He's saying the tweet is in reference to the rest of yesterday's game. In other words, he was ruled out for the remainder of the Packers game.

I'm saying, this was posted DURING the game to note that Mooney's status changed to out. That tweet has no significance to his status on Sunday. That's still up in the air

It also doesn’t help that he has to adjust to every ball, giving defenders an extra tick to line him up.

Yeah he was getting tagged from the very start and came up nicked on his very first target and it continued throughout the game

Tough life for a young little wr when you have to dive all over the place, in traffic, to catch those spastic throws from Trubisky.

Exactly. Those passes should be schemed for Kmet, Garahm or Wims. Maybe one or two short to Mooney to set up the double move, but nothing more. Like Moose said, Chicago is where receivers go to die.

But Nagy’s shitty play design and allowing the entire GB secondary to spend the whole game within 10 yds of the LOS made any possible “housing” of a short pass completely IMPOSSIBLE! In fact, that Mooney was able to fight through and past three of the first to get to him (got to him immediately, by the way, thanks to Nagy’s shitty offense) was inspiring, only to be lit up by the soon arriving next wave including Amos.
My question is, where were all of Mooney’s teammates? Why was no one anywhere nearby to block after the catch? Oh yeah, that’s right ~ Nagy... Play design... yet another of a veritable boatload of shallow horizontal routes!
Damn, I wish he would just go away!

Since we're talking about Mooney tho - how about that long catch he made?
Adjusted in the air and used his hands to attack the ball and secure the catch instead of letting it come to him. I'm excited about him and seeing how he develops.

Mooney will be fine.
He will benefit like crazy from an nfl offseason nutrition program and strength and conditioning.
I won't be shocked if he bulks up 5-10 pounds. 5'11 180-185 would make him in the tyreek hill range. As long as he doesn't lose any speed it would make him even more a monster.
He already plays like a WR much bigger than he is.
Great find.
