SkinsTillIDie Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Tony Dixon - safety 26 years old 6'1 and 210 pounds 2nd round pick in the in 2001 draft Scouts Inc. on Tony Dixon: Dixon is a tough, instinctive player. Always appears to be in the correct position. Has the size and strength to be a force against the run. He has good awareness and reads his keys. He is capable of finding the ball and does a nice job attacking the LOS. He is a bigger safety that can hold up against the run and will make a lot of plays in transition, but he doesn't have great speed or range in coverage and really needs to be protected. Doesn't turn and run well with receivers. Has marginal speed and is exposed at times in coverage, especially in man schemes. Overall, Dixon has shown flashes in the past and could eventually take over for the aging Woodson but he still has a lot of room to improve between now and then. Once again, Len Pasquarelli was right on the button. In yesterday's Tip Sheet: To this point, Washington Redskins officials have been openly supportive of second-year free safety Sean Taylor, who faces two felony counts of aggravated assault with a firearm and a misdemeanor count of battery, and who will be arraigned on June 24. But here's something notable: Team personnel officials this week began checking out free safeties, making calls and doing research on players still in the free agent pool, those who might be cut before camp, and those who could be available in trades. Maybe it's just coincidence, perhaps a case of the Redskins simply interested in bolstering the position, or just conducting due diligence. Then again, Washington could be preparing for the possibility of not having Taylor available. It would be difficult for the Redskins to release Taylor, given the salary cap ramifications of such a move, but his contract does include default language that might allow the club to recoup some of his bonus money in the event he is convicted. By the way, the top safeties still available in free agency include Lance Schulters, Tony Dixon, Cory Bird, Reggie Tongue, Eric Brown and Anthony Floyd.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed. The 6-foot-1, 213-pound Dixon spent the last four years with the Dallas Cowboys, where he recorded 96 tackles, six sacks and 10 pass deflections in 53 games. Forty-nine of his tackles came on special teams. The Cowboys selected Dixon out of Alabama in the second round of the 2001 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 second round pick was awfully high for a safety with linebacker speed I agree this is probably a special teams move as much as anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leonargized Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 As a Cowboy fan I will tell you that Dixon stinks. Very slow at safety and poor on special teams. This makes no sense to me why the skins would do this , unless it is just for a look , but playing each other twice a year they should already be familar with the player.

leonargized Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Got to disagree with you stone, I think poor is the correect phrase. I would like to see what his special team tackles were last season ,but I watched every game and Not once did I see anything from him on SP teams. Plus as much as Tuna likes his ST if any good he would still be in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just camp fodder, brought in to provide competition. His contract most likely is based on whether or not he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEHEREAFTER Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I like the fact that the Cowboys NEVER bring over former redskins. I can't think of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 He is terrible. If he makes your team, I will be shocked. And sad for the Skins. He doesnt belong on any NFL roster. Not even Washingtons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raub Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Originally posted by leonargized As a Cowboy fan .............. You could have stopped there. I ignored everything you wrote after that. This guy will be camp fodder or special teams. It doesn't take an Einstein to run down the field full speed into another guy. Even a Cowboy could do it.

jimster Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 It'll be great if he turns out to be another stud in Greg Williams defense. I guess he's too young for a Parcell's team or doesn't play baseball or something. :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the Cowboy fan wing? You just signed a former Cowboy who, in light of how poor we are at FS right now, Dallas had no interest in resigning. Of course youre going to hear from us.
