Koolblue13 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My new official man crush. In the second half, he constantly seemed to be in the back field or around the ball. He consistently was making plays with pressure and they weren't able to slow him down. Definitely one of the highlights on defense last night. I don't think we have a roster spot for him, so I hope he makes the practice squad. BTW, in high school, he played OT as well as DT. Just sayin'. http://www.redskins.com/gen/players/Antonio_Dixon.jsp :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember thinking it was Jarmon at first but I remember one play where he completely blew up the C/G and tackled the RB for a loss. I hope he gets some time in the first half next game against some better comp though. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted August 14, 2009 Author Share Posted August 14, 2009 I hope this kid gets more playing time and impressed the coaches in game. We could use another young dominate tackle in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKOALSKIN Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Great thread. Dixon was a force out there. A motivated 320lb wrecking ball. We need size up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 But do you think he'll make the final roster? probably not the Redskin roster, hopefully the practice squad. If not, I hope he lands with another team, he deserves a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALTOR1 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Great, great story. How can you not root for him to be successful. HTTR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboomking Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 He's got good size at 6'3", 322 pounds. I couldn't find any workout numbers for him. Anybody else have better luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwbiggs Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Doc siad that it looked like "Antonio Dixon wanted to change his standard of living" :hysterical: He said that a lot of people are saying he has no chance to make the team and Doc wondered, why not, he's showing that he has some dog in him and wants to bring it.

Doc is right. Dixon was balling last night. And if he keeps playing like that, he will make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Gibbs Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 He was one of the very few bright spots last night. Curious to see how he plays from here on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I specifically wrote down his name last name.Unless I'm Haynesworth,Orakpo,etc I would step it the hell up.Dixon could very well take somebody's roster spot. If he continues to play like he did last night,the f.o better do a gut check and send someone else packing.If you try and place Dixon on your pratice squad he may not be there very long. Henson and Chris Wilson also looked good out there (for the most part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darc Requiem Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 But do you think he'll make the final roster? . If he keeps playing like he did last night, I can't see how he wont. Especially with Oher owning Wynn like he was named Kunta Kinte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they could go the route of not giving him time an hiding him on the PS for a year. Others... Henson should have had that pick but he was a little flat on some plays. I also saw Eloi make a good tackle on special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
