Sorry, but I haven't seen Hixon run those routes or call those plays. Like I said, we don't know what his job responsibilities are. There are three people in the equation here, 1) the WRs, 2) Zorn and 3) Hixon. We know the responsibilities of two of the 3. The WRs are supposed to get open, and learn the offense. That's part of being a professional, rookie or not. Zorn's responsibilities involve calling plays that will utilize the strengths of the WRs to put them into position to succeed. We don't know what Hixon's responsibilities are. So yes, the conclusions being drawn do seem awfully shallow and baseless considering what we know (which is next to nothing).
