Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man

anthony mix is not fast, cant catch, and all he will be in his career is a special teams player. thers a reason why he was cut from the giants, hes got butterfingers!
He was not cut, from the Giants. He is fast. I dont want anyone thinking, I am delusional, I understand that Mix is not proven, but maybe they are counting on him more, than we think. I think that the Montgomery analogy was exactly, what I was thinking. Schneed10 says that he is severly deficient in route running, I am not sure how he knows this, but, I would certainly be willing to listen.

poor confused Redskins fans. Look what we have become. Just because we havnt made a huge splash in the FA we are suddenly calling our special teams #5 or 6 WR our next go to guy. We must have patience. I too am bored but we must wait. Something tells me we will have an addition sooner or later be it through the draft or FA to our WR corps, and it is evident that Mix isnt going anywhere and can only get better.

Cut, practice squad, what's the effing difference? I love that distinction, talk about splitting hairs.

From an earlier post in this thread:

Weaknesses: Does not play as fast as 40-time indicates and his speed is too straight-line. Lacks ideal burst for a receiver and will have some problems creating separation working against man coverage at the next level. Doesn't use hands well, doesn't play with a mean streak and needs to improve ability to get a clean release working against press coverage.

To me, that reads: not agile and cannot get open.

Wouldn't Mike Espy + Anthony Mix be a deadly combo? They could be the most dynamic due in NFL history if given a chance! Imagining the possibilities brings warmth to my heart and tears of joy running down my cheeks.

sarcasm?? If so thats pretty funny.

if only we let patrick ramsey start 16 more games.... i mean, he WAS 6'5"... how could he NOT be awesome?


^that's what all these mix threads sound like.

There is one thing that I wonder about here . What are we really looking for ? A No.1 WR ? No that is Moss when healthy he is as dangerous as any wideout in the league . People thinking he needs a big WR opposite him need to think who was on the opposite side of the field in 2005...David Patten ...hmm

So we are looking for a No2. WR ...well no not really ARE may man the slot more in this scheme but he is the guy we will be looking for, for no.2. kind of production and in 2007 he came on leaps and bounds as a starting WR and stop him returning punts in the hope he can stay healthy.

So we are really looking for a No.3. wideout someone reliable but not necessarily spectacular also given that Cooley, Portis, Sellars will be important in the passing game they are not going to get a huge amount of action . Do we really want to spend big $$$$ on this kind of guy . Sure we could draft a guy but first round is there anyone really there who could be the guy down the stretch, or more importantly is there a WR in the first round who will be available and offer more value than addressing our OL, DL or DB.

With all this in mind then can Mix be the guy...maybe . I saw him in London (mistaking him for Burress) and I am not sure how many scrubs the team would bother taking with them so I kind of think the Giants were high on the guy . His career may be nothing more than James Thrash but even he was a No.1. WR in philly so that is no bad thing .

Would it be wise to bank on Mix to be the guy ... hell no. But keeping Caldwell or picking up a bargin basement player or second day pick would be an adequate plan B in my mind .

Sure we do need a stud to pick up for Moss as our No.1. guy but unless said stud falls in our laps whoever we pick up will do time on the bench being developed so why not go with Mix or Espy or whoever.

I like Mix and don't care what he's done or not done to this point in his career. If he has it in him to step it up, he'll have a chance this year to catch some balls.

You guys just crack me up. If he had it in him he would have stepped in and stepped up last season. There is a reason why he was a part time starter in college and barely has an NFL roster spot.

There are many stories about 'career backups' and underachievers who are given a chance or counted on in 'desperate' situations and become staples in their teams rosters. What most of us are saying here about Mix (and Caldwell) is we have a guy, let him compete, let's make a decision from there. We're not saying there's no need to draft a WR or look at an affordable FA because Mix is the next Jerry Rice. It seems you are for aquiring big-ticket FAs and believe if a player isn't a first day pick, he obviously is not talented enough to make any NFL team's roster. We all are for upgrading but there is always a possibility that that big-ticket FA WR will be a Brandon Lloyd and the first day pick ends up being Taylor Jacobs...

I'm still counting on Darnerian McCants to be our big go-to receiver....once he puts his music career on hiatus.
