Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man

If you're the GM, and you're counting on Anthony Mix to make an impact, you should be fired.

What you guys are doing is HOPING. But to say we shouldn't address WR because Anthony Mix is going to make everything OK, that would be a very poor decision.

That's what I'm saying too. I'm not saying the kid will never be a decent player, I hope that he does become a beast. At his size, if he put it together, he would be hell for opposing defenses, but to rest you're hopes on a guy with 3 career catches for 39 yards is asinine if your the general manager of a football team. They need to bring someone else in.

Mix was a 06 Practice Squad member, who made the 53 man roster in '07. He was put on waivers so the Giants could make room Domenik Hixon. From what I heard on TV, it was pretty much between keeping Mix and Steve Smith, and they chose Smith. So I'd imagine that if Mix was a first rounder, or a return specialist, he would have been kept.

He certainly did excel on Special Teams for the Skins. I'd imagine he could contribute regularly as a #4 along with his special teams work.


*I* recall mentioning AM in the "Zorn and Shins to pursue DJ Hackett" thread a day or so ago. I don't recall him ever being placed on waivers, but the Redskins plucked him from the Giants PS, the only requirement when you do that is that you must sign him to your 53 man roster.

The Giants had hopes for AM and wanted him to stay around. He probably would have gotten a chance to show what he could do had Plexico Burress not proved he was able to continue playing through injury. They liked what they saw of Mix in the preseason, and actually wanted to keep him but you can't block a player on the PS from being signed by another team.

I don't have any idea what the teams plan is for Mix, but I would like to see him at least have an opportunity to show what he can do in the preseason.

Anthony Mix deserves a chance, i just don't want to see us waste a 1st rd pick on a WR, there is no one out there that come in and learn a new system and make an immediate impact, sign a FA who's played in the NFL and has potential

I agree......If you're going to draft a WR in the first round he has to be a stud, future pro-bowler who can come in and make an immediate impact. At #21 there wont be anyone there who fits that description for the Redskins.

I'm of the opinion it would be in our best interest to go D-line or even CB rather than thinking an impact WR at #21.

I would go DL 1st, OL 2nd haven't worked out the rest.

threads a joke right? making fun of all the people VASTLY over hyping some dude who hasn't even proven enough to get on the field, right?


right?

I'm not high on Anthony Mix. Who's high on Anthony Mix?

He was cut from the Giants. If they were that high on him, they would have found a way to keep him. Simple as that.

We better not be depending on him for anything this coming season other than special teams and a prayer for a little more.

Exactly.

lol he's still helpful in madden :silly:

For real though, I think this thread is not "overhyping" the guy, rather suggesting we examine the man more closely... an idea that I'm extremely open to as a fan. For now, however, I think we should take a wait and see approach and starve ourselves until after the draft to see the Skins' moves on wide-outs.

No, people are thinking Over 6'4 + alleged sub 4.4 40 time = Great Big Possession Receiver to compliment Moss.

To me it's kind of like saying
Underweight = Anorexia

Just because someones underweight doesn't mean their annorexic. Same thing with Mix, just because he's big and fast doesn't mean he's going to gain 700 yards next year. I mean it's possible, but not likely.

We dont need a superstar, we need a big target in the red zone. Santana is our superstar. We need 500 yards out of him.
