Anthony Mix Must Be Our Man

Danoyd · 03-12-2008, 10:52 PM

I like Anthony Mix. He should be utilized a little more then just special teams. That play in Seattle was nasty and he was a tackling machine on special teams, in particular theChicago game. If remember correctly he ROCKED dEVIN hESTER

It's basically like going after a Long term relationship with a girl you don't know just because she has big tits and a nice backside. Look if you're not going to get to know her then at least go for the one night stand.

The expectations for a guy like Mix are way to high. Antonio Gates had to get 324 yards during his rookie year before fans started putting the same type of hype into him as some of you seem to be doing for Mix. I'm sure the guy appreciates it, but damn!

You know what this is how I feel about "Mix mania." If only you guys hadn't hyped him up so much then I wouldnt have type with my feet.

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 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."

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

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.

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:

Billy McMullen: 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.

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.

T.O.Killa · 03-18-2008, 11:35 PM

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.
