Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man

[freddyg12]

This thread could be posed in this question: 'Does anyone foresee a situation similar to last year's draft when we opted not to draft a d-lineman, even when it was apparent to all we needed one?' Gibbs & GW said they were happy w/the progress Golston & Montgomery made, maybe that's the case w/Mix?

That could be the approach here. Last year they didn't draft a d-lineman in part because they liked Landry better than anyone else. They didn't sign one in fa, cause no one was available w/in reason. That could be the case this year if Hackett can't be signed, or no trades can come to fruition.

I think Vinny is thinking long-term. If the right player at right price can't be had this year, next year Roy Williams will be a free agent. Next year might be the time they look to sign a vet.

I HOPE Mix has made that much of an impression, but I think it's still too early to have much indication as to what they want to do at the reciever position. The first news we might get on this is if Caldwell's agent talks to someone.

Well we won't know until we get a chance to see him in action IMO. JC is really high on this kid, and the best I recall he only got one or so shots at WR last year and I don't remember if the ball even went his way. So you never really know what you have until you have earned a chance to play.

Could be a total dud, could be the next Randy Moss.....whos to say?

However, I did like what I witnessed on special teams from Mix last season. And I would like to see him get some playing time. If he puts in the work and proves he deserves a shot to get some playing time at wide out, then I'm sure we will all find out.

It seems as the front office is content with the recieving corp we have,as well as i. We need help on both sides of the line.Offense needs to get young depth,and the defense needs to get faster and stronger in the middle ,along with younger.Corner position is in desperate need right now.Remember 06' when injuries hurt our backfield,last year was pretty healthy.

Maybe they're thinking of him for CB!

It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO.

So are you saying that this is the worst idea you've ever heard?

I'm not really going that far, but I just think it's a huge JUMP to say that since we're quiet right now it must mean that Anthony Mix is reason.
Please, just 10 minutes ago I smacked my frozen up computer and yelled "PC Load Letter?!? WTF does that mean?!?!", so Office Space is clearly on the brain.

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.

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.

lol he's still helpful in madden

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.

[Longtimefan]

*I* don't think anyone is actually overhyping Mix to the extent they feel he'll be a superstar. What they are saying is that if the team thought enough of the guy to sign him to the 53 man roster frrom the Giants PS, it's conceivable they saw some potential in him. All I see suggested here is that some feel he should be given an opportunity to see if he can be productive.

There's really not much difference in discussing him as it is discussing a WR in the draft who may, or may not be available at the time the team makes a selection. We all realize AM is not Chad Johnson, or Randy Moss, that does not however preclude him from being effective. He hasn't proven anything in the NFL yet, but neither has that WR somewhere waiting to be drafted.
