I watched him some in pre season and honestly I said who is this kid because he looked like he was a real problem for any CB inside the 10 yard line, my thought at the time was here's another Giants WR who can jump over the top of any of our CB's, he looked like he played hard, and was aggresive going after the ball.
One thing is for sure when we were at the 50 with time running out against Dallas, all I could think was to bad we don't have a WR who can go after a jump ball, he probably wont see a lot of time, but we just might see him when you need to just throw it up there and hope, I really like this signing.

Yeah, I had never heard of this guy but when someone said 6'5 230-something I was immediatly a fan. The guy really doesen't need to have great hands he can just reach up over everybody. Who knows maybe we will all see him sometime soon?

Here's the link to the Giants board about them letting him go, some of them are pissed. I love it, New York Giants Message Boards - Another good player gone... (http://boards.giants.com/forums/1/537610/ShowThread.aspx)
I read the whole article,the thing that struck me most about it was giants fan saying gibbs should retire
"The skins are getting older, not younger. They needed Mix more than we did for this reason. But the problem with the Skins is not it's team so much as it is their HC. As much respect as I have for Gibbs, he's a corpse and should retire. He has about as much life as is needed to drain that team of what energy they have left. I know this post is about Mix, but at the same time, I don't think the Skins will have a winning club until Gibbs retires. "

I am thrilled about the move...any time you can get someone that has chemistry with a young QB, it's a good thing. We'll finally have someone LARGE he can throw to. I am concerned about his work ethic and his lack of speed, but we don't need him to be amazingly fast.
From what I understand from a Giants fan friend of mine, he did very well in the preseason and was shocked he was released.

Every scouting report I have read said he has great hands...problem is he won't go the extra mile in terms of effort. That can change with our coaching staff on him though. This could be a steal for us.
