That's a real bummer. Kid seems fragile, unfortunately.

I'd sit him and let him heal and start Mitchell. On another topic, D. Hall better keep his cool going against Steve Smith, since they don't like each other. This could be the game were Hall commits stupid personal fouls like he has in the past and kills us.

Good idea. And yeah, we should see how much Hall has matured during this game.

No, I'm really not. If the argument is Hixon sucks and the reasoning is because he hasn't been able to make stars out of bums who haven't don't anything anywhere else either, I guess I just don't buy that as a legit answer.

I think overall people place too much emphasis on coaching at times. Sometimes you just don't have the horses. We really haven't had a ton of talent at WR for years now. Moss is good but a borderline #1. ARE is a slot guy. Thomas and Kelly are still pretty green experience wise.

I'm not saying Hixon is anything great, but look at a comparable situation with someone like Bugel. He hasn't been able to turn shit into stars either. Why? The talent really hasn't been there.

Perhaps the majority are lemons, but when you have lemons you make lemon juice. I would argue Keenan McCardell is atleast one, and Pinkston another. No they are not T.O. caliber or R.Moss, but they are not fodder either. I would also argue that a more talented WR Coach might have done a better job with almost half of these.

My last arguement would be that I would have a hard time believing that the team picked up these so called "camp scrubb" with out atleast consoling Hixon in regards to these guys which means Hixon is a dumb donkey at evaluating talent and bring in guys who will make a difference to the team ....which confirms what I'm saying all along.

Freudian slip?

Anyhow, to say that Hixon is a dumb donkey at evaluating talent is a bit ridiculous. Over half the guys you listed were basically just camp bodies (almost none who have made it anywhere else)

Well as someone else said, If there's a party and your invited and you screw up, more then likely your not getting invited to another party.

They got invited and received piss poor training/developement, screwed up in preseason and most likely havn't been given a second chance. Some of the guys had gone to the CFL. You know where all the garbage players go. Keep in mind we picked up Dorsey for the CFL also. Some on here prefered him over Alridge.

That didn't make any sense.

Look, I get the frustration with our receivers and the relative ease of just pointing the finger at Hixon. I believe I was one of the first people here to question Hixon

But there's only so much he can affect (effect?). It's a bit crazy I think to say Hixon is the reason guys like Onrea Jones, Shaun Bodiford, Danny Melendez and Taylor Sele are not household names now. Again, we're talking about a lot of "camp bodies" That's all they are. Every now and then one might shine through, but all around the league you could look at any team and you would see that even the best WR coaches have a long list of WRs under their tenur who never amounted to anything with them. I mean just think of all the WRs who do nothing in the preseason but play special teams, if that.

So it seems to me that you and others are just desperate to find ways in which Hixon has failed and any sensible critique becomes absurd when you throw in names like the ones mentioned above and talk about how Hixon must be a dumb donkey at evaluating talent. It's nearly as silly as getting upset that Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones are friends (well maybe not that silly).

I don't even know what the point of your CFL rant was, so I'll just ignore that one.

Smoot, I like your point in the post you linked too. All I am saying, is that after 5 years of little things being missed as you said, and when a lot of our other low level coaches have been let go with the coaching changes, how does Hixon survive with 0 production to put by his name. It's not like changing Hixon is going to suddenly turn DT into Superman, but maybe another coach could get through to him. At this point, if the team wants to make a point without major turmoil (yes I am laughing at myself for even writing that line) then maybe letting a non-producing unit's position coach go would drive home the point that things have to change.

Well Sherm Lweis was working with the WRs yesterday. I am sure he is critiquing Hixon as well.
