Ball hawk!
I expect him to be the starting FS. He will be rusty and needs to get up to game speed but he is a player.

You and I have different definitions of ball hawk.

Maybe but this guy is a play maker. Though it'll be interesting to see how he operates. I am seeing a little drop in Lenoire and Green even though Saleh is a heck of a DC. Might be because there is no pass rush.

Oh I think Mustapha is a good disciplined Safety. But he has averaged 1 INT a year since college. I'll take safeties who are where they're supposed to be that don't get lots of INTs. Ball hawks are typically risk takers who make splash plays but also end up chasing cheeks.

Maybe I'm wrong but a lot of people are overrating him here. He's for sure better than any other safety on our team but he's not some all pro/pro bowler.
Will be good to have improvement but I would temper expectations....

Its just nice having people come off injury rather than getting injured.

Absolutely. Only other thing I'd say is who knows how he takes to salehs tutelage vs a complete f**king idiot in Nick Sorensen. We have seen a few different players look significantly better under Saleh vs Sorensen

This lol
I think Moose has some real talent, just needs to fine tune as he is still a newer to the NFL.

So I was reading up on his injury, so he didn't "tear" the actual acl. It came off the bone? Or does that sound stupid? Lol
the way I read it sounded like an was an unusual ACL injury but wasn't like the one bosa got.
anyways, very excited to have him back. Dudes a missle

Word. Lol
it's nice to see dudes coming back instead of being carted away. Let's just hope the next few weeks don't end up with injuries and we get a few guys back. Start to build that run up to the second half of the season with steam and hit our stride down the stretch

Hopefully he will be back for the Atlanta. Even then it will probably be limited.

Over 409 snaps in coverage as a rookie in 2024, Malik Mustapha allowed only 7 catches for 49 yards — that 0.12 yards allowed per cover snap was the best figure among NFL safeties.

Mustapha was good vs the run, too, and should be another valuable "missile" asset for Robert Saleh pic.twitter.com/e1YYAshk9w

Who will he be replacing? Sigle or Pinnock? I want to say pinnock but not sure. Excited to see him back and what Saleh decides. Maybe we won't get a true answer yet as they ease him back in.
