People are really getting upset over Dixon? Really?
Many felt his preseason contributions warranted a spot on the roster, but by him being a DT they probably felt stacked at that position.

I'm sad that we lost Dixon. He was a good player in preseason for us.
That said, anyone who is surprised that he was cut really is not paying attention. We have too many other DT's. He would have, at best, been on the practice squad all year long.

True, but at least they have 1 thing in common,neither has taken a snap in the playoffs.They also have that in common with Jay Cutler, Mark Sanchez....and Timmy Chang. Just thought I'd throw that out.

you guys do realize that Chang played 5 yrs to get the records he got and CB played 3 and caught most of them? just throwing that out there.
And i believe Cutler goes this yr, Sanchez maybe.

Not sure what the hype is about Dixon all of a sudden. Good story but still, an undrafted FA who didn't even start in college. Probably a career backup/journeyman at best. Just a numbers game at DT. You can't keep everyone.
He had a stretch of like 3 or 4 plays in a row where he was blowing things up -- I think it was the Baltimore game. He made a good impression for awhile.
In the end though, we just had too many DTs that could play. Like you said we can't keep everybody, and that's why I hope the roster restrictions are loosened once the new CBA takes effect.

Former pats QB O'Connell traded from lions to the jets.

That means absolutely nothing, unless you are Chang. That's like saying, "Do you know how many of Andre Ware's records that David Klingler broke?"

Unconfirmed report by Mort. But we may be signing QB Andre Woodson

I remember Jason White lighting it up at Oklahoma, and Weurffel at Florida. And that was against Big 12 and SEC teams. Just throwing that out there. Colt is headed down their path. College stud, pro dud.

Exactly. And Steve McNair tore it up against Alcorn State opponents -- so nobody really knows.
