21forlyfe Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 HE look like a beast...wich means he probably wont make the cut ...we only like to keep overaged scrubs on our team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newera Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I picked up on him to late in the game. Def a sleeper. Seems to have a nasty temperment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofSparta Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 This may seem rediculous to some of you, but if this guy used to play OL in high school, could he perhaps put Lorenzo Alexander's spot in jeopardy? Maybe his versatility kicks Chris Wilson to the curb? I know, I know, first preseason game and playing against backups and all, but it's fun to speculate sometimes.

Digger Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I just wish we coulda seen the Ravens try and run more to see our D in that aspect. They passed almost the whole game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMAN7 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Jimmy Z was praising him in todays press conference as well. Great run stuffer. I counted at least 3 for a loss or no gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I mean, there's no reason he couldn't make the team over 1 of Monty/Golston/Alexander. Alexander I believe made this team simply by the 1 play where he hustled with his helmet off. It made an impression, and since then he's stuck around and developed into a good player. A strong preseason showing can do a lot for you, Lorenzo is a great example. Preseason isn't meaningless in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I was wondering if someone would talk about him! He definately moved up the depth chart with his performance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Washington Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 .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. Dixon played well and he should be exactly the type of guy we put into a regular rotation. I wonder what happened to Monty. He looked ready to make a move a couple of years ago, but it seems like Golston has taken his spot again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paloosa Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think he makes the squad or the practice squad. He is a very good player that can reek some havoc if given a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SittingBull Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 He'll most likely make the practice squad and get snatched by another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Very astute to suggest converting Antonio Dixon to an offensive lineman. That is the kind of out of the box thinking we need. Here is a player with fire and heart, and yes, he is going to have a fine NFL career - all too likely with another team. Make this man an offensive lineman - we couldn't be in more need of a player with his energy and ability than at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21forlyfe Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 91,76,75,95,96 those guys wearing those numbers Played like Mad MEN! Jackson,Jarmon,Dixon,Wilson,Griffin(all without Big AL) just imagine when he plays Obviously B RAK#98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam291 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Jimmy Z was praising him in todays press conference as well. Great run stuffer. I counted at least 3 for a loss or no gain. Wasn't Dixon the one who Zorn said wouldn't be able to play a whole game because he was so gassed? I guess a guy could always up his level of conditioning, but if someone is so tired from playing 3rd stringers for a quarter, I'm not sure that's someone we should sign.

I guess a guy could always up his level of conditioning, but if someone is so tired from playing 3rd stringers for a quarter, I'm not sure that's someone we should sign. We wouldn't be asking him to play the entire game anyways. He'd be the 4th or 5th DT to rotate in anyways behind Haynesworth, Griffin, Golston, and Montgomery. We'll see how he does the remaining preseason game. I'll definitely have my eye on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MumboSauce Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Against back ups though. He did his job though and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGOLEBOB Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 This guy has great size, somebody mentioned his nasty temperment. I have no idea, but my question is this: where was this guy in college? He didn't seem to do anything in Miami. He had 2.5 sacks in his whole career there and didn't stand out. Did he just suddenly figure out how to play football after signing as a free agent with the Skins? I mean there are are guys who learn to play after being free agents but sometimes it takes a couple of years. This guy played pretty good football on Thursday and you figure if he played like that in college he would have been drafted. WHAT HAPPENED? Any answers or theories?

21forlyfe Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Against back ups though. He did his job though and well. Isn't he a backup? i expext you to dominate them! for example if we played BIG AL against some third stringers what would you expect him to do?Dominate!the same with him if you are playing against back ups you should dominate,if you are a true starter...THE only thing a MAN can ask for in this world is opportunity...intill he gets a chance the unkown will always be a mystery:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
