Oh my friggin GOD, that was funny. Matty and SS, get this guy on the payroll because that Extreme conversation was comedic genius![/quote]

Lol, thank you. Though I would appreciate not be held to a standard so high as comedic genius.

The funniest part is that I looked at it today and thought "maybe I was a little rough on ExtremeSkins. They can't be THAT bad. Can they?" Then I found this on an Anthony Mix thread.

[I][B]"I love Mix in Madden. He actually is my go-to guy. I use Tana as a decoy. everyone doubles him and then leaves it one on one for this 6 foot 5 monster. He makes some sick one handers."[/B][/I]

The best jokes are the one's you can't make up.

[quote=That Guy;431521]it's not the player, it's the hype and talk like he's going to have a randy moss type year guaranteed.

yes, he might be good, but the odds are VERY VERY heavily against it, yet how many "mix is teh best evar!" threads have we seen since the end of another terribly unproductive year for him? that's all.[/quote]
The guy is a second year guy and was stuck behind Plax, we only picked him up on Nov. 20 and he was a solid contributor on specials. It probably took him a couple of weeks to download AS's 700 page playbook anyway. Based on the circumstances, I don't think he had a "terribly unproductive year". Let's not let the pendulum swing too far the other way and make this guy out to be Brandon Lloyd.

Those of us that like the potential of Mix (not the ES / Madden version, BTW Dirtbag's ES post was hilarious) hope to see him developing into a Red Zone threat and solid possession guy, anything more is gravy. If he doesn't develop, we haven't lost anything, he's on the low end of the pay scale and we didn't give up anything to get him.

Well, unless there is a blockbuster trade , it's time to get on the Mix wagon.

Burl Toler! ;)

Actually, should we be paying a little more attention to Billy McMullen? He's a big receiver, has experience in the West coast offense. He's been a bit of a disappointment overall but he's proven more at this level than Mix:

[url=http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/players/scouting?statsId=6431]Billy McMullen[/url]: McMullen arrived in Minnesota from Philadelphia in a trade for Vikings free agent receiver Hank Baskett. Vikings new head coach Brad Childress had a familiarity with McMullen and his receiving skills from their years together with the Eagles as well as McMullen's understanding of his offensive system. McMullen provides a big target with his tall frame and long arms allow him to outreach shorter defenders. McMullen's limited quickness hurts him when facing press coverage as he does not do well against the jam. McMullen is a long strider that sometimes struggles to accelerate out of his breaks but can close on a defender in off coverage deceptively fast. McMullen has decent game speed yet lacks the second gear to separate on vertical routes. McMullen uses his body well against defenders and has good ball skills attacking at the highest point with his long reach. McMullen has worked himself into the lineup with consistency as a receiver and great effort as a blocker as well as making plays when afforded the opportunity. Billy McMullen is a solid wide receiver that is smart enough to properly operate a complex offensive system and enough talent to provide quality depth to a receiving corps.

This Mix stuff is getting out of control. Mix wasn't stuck behind Plax. Why didn't he get in as the 2nd or 3rd wr?? IMO he just wasn't good enough. I wouldn't even call him the black Joe J. cause Joe J. has AT LEAST shown some production. Outside of teams Mix hasn't shown me anything.

Re: Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man
 

whatever happened to Jeremy Bloom? I picked him up on Madden (in other words, take this whole post with a grain of salt) and I strait up kill DBs with him as #4 WR in the slot.

Re: Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man
 

Hey, when I posted this thread alot of people said I was crazy. But, after seeing the Redskins not going after a reciever, felt they must think that Mix can be the guy. Well, Zorn is saying just that.

He's saying Mix will be given an opportunity to play, just like everyone else is saying. I think Schneed put it best. We all hope he'll be the stud WR his appearance makes him seem to be, but there is a difference (should be a difference) between hope and expecation.

Well, what I am saying, is that they have high expectations for him. Maybe they are wrong and making a huge blunder, but Cerrato has publicly said he likes him and Zorn says he likes him also. I am not saying I know this for a fact, but from their action, it seems to me, they are expecting alot from him.

"Expecting" and "Hoping" are two differen't things... I think they "hope" he will be a stud, but I know they aren't "expecting" anymore from him then they would from any undrafted rookie until he proves something.

Re: Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man
 

They're gonna give him the opportunity based on what J.C. said about him. He and Campbell must have a pretty good feel for one another or else he wouldn't be here. He's young, cheap, and may possibly offer something to this team. We definitely need a third, big wide receiver. With that said, let's just wait and see what happens and hopefully he won't be another Jacobs, Lloyd, etc...and make the plays in practice he can't make on the field.

Re: Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man
 

I think Mix will have a great year and I think that he can be the WR that Zorn needs and is looking for. Just his play on special teams last year made him a eye opener.

He was in on a lot of tackles on kickoffs, seemed like he was always where the returner was.

Re: Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man
 

I think that the lastest news from the Washinton Post article posted earlier today affirms that the skins will probably not address WR in the early rounds (1,2,3) on draft day. I hope that Mix lives up to the hype. If he doesn't the team is going to take even more scrutiny for not addressing it in FA or early in the Draft this offseason. This does not change my mind that we should not take a WR in the first round.

Disclaimer: There are multiple threads that this statement could have fit in so back off.

I didn't get that from the article at all, in fact the article seemed to say that there are a no. of possibilities of who they'll draft in the early rounds. I would however, say that it seems unlikely that Vinny will want a wr w/the #1 pick, but that doesn't mean he won't w/a 2nd rounder, or 3rd.

It mentioned that they were looking to pick up a corner, a safety, OL, DL, and a LB too. (Not in that order) Where does WR fit in? What I am saying is that some of those positions have to be addressed earlier to obtain any type of quality.

This quote is early in the article
"Washington has needs along the offensive and defensive lines, at wide receiver, cornerback and safety."

As you mentioned, they note OLB as a need, but also QB. Basically, I don't think this is a draft like the skins have had in the past where everybody had a good idea of what position (s) and players they would take early. Of course having more picks gives them more flexibility but there are several areas of "need" but none stands out head & shoulders above the rest.

The only positions I would rule out early in the draft are RB,K,P,TE, & maybe QB, though I could see someone like Booty in the 3rd if he's there. I would put OLB after that. I know the article mentions the possibility of drafting one, but I see that as a late day 2 pick.
