Redskins Radio: Skins sign WR Anthony Mix

RMSkins · 11-20-2007, 12:45 PM

I was just listening to Redskins Radio, and they said that we picked up Anthony Mix. Mix played with JC at Auburn, and he caught 3 passes for 39 yards this year with the Giants. By the way he is 6'5 240lbs.

Well maybe that addresses our need for a big receiver on red zone passing packages. Let's hope so. As a bonus, he played for Auburn with Jason Campbell, so perhaps there's some chemistry there.

Here is Mix's NFL scouting report on SI.com prior to the 2006 draft:

And here is an article when the Giants waived Mix last month:

I wonder if JC put a bug in the coach's ear about him? That would be pretty cool, not to mention a sign of a lot of faith in our young qb.

I was wondering same thing.. Also I wonder why Giants released him in first place?

BleedBurgundy · 11-20-2007, 01:15 PM

I'm sure it wasn't because he was amazingly talented. lol. Hopefully he turns out to be a great find.

Actually, after clicking on that link above, supposedly he was developing nicely. He was just in a situation where he was stuck behind burress and the team had other needs. This could be a really good signing.

I'm sure they asked about the guy. But he's getting released for a reason. We need a big wr but he also has to have skills.

Hahah, oh wow. A message from a Giant's fan on the NJ.com blog site:

This move is very strange to me. He'll sign with the Redskins, hang out with his old QB Jason Campbell and become an NFL star. The Giants will be stuck with Moss who cant stay healthy. Talk about someone who has not contributed on the field. Just not a good move by the Giants front office. Last I checked Plax is 30 years old. How much does he have left?"

According to the link above, he was showing signs of progression, but having a backup that could only play one wr position was not a luxury the Giants could afford. We''ll see...

FINALLY!!! we needed another red-zone threat to take some pressure off of Cooley. I remember seeing this Mix kid in pre-season looks like he could be a real playmaker!!

sandtrapjack · 11-20-2007, 04:19 PM

So why was he unemployed up until now?

He's totally unproven at more than one level of competition.

The difference between this dude and Brandon Lloyd is that the Redskins didn't give up anything to get him. Both are talented receivers who could flourish here in theory.

Hopefully, this Mix guy isn't a giant pussy. If he isn't he will be a much needed target for us.

Sadly, i must agree with the Cowboy fan. Odds are stacked against the Skins on this one. But who knows. If he sticks around this could be welcomed.

The same reason Ryan Clark was let go by them, not good enough.
