[WashingtonFederals]

Can we please have him back???
PLEASE???

A Giants fan

[djotroy17]

no, take your superbowl win. But dont take our mix!

[Stophovr6]

No! He is ours now.

[Monk4thaHALL]

I personally love Mix.

__

Why did you let him go in the first place?

[noshirtforyou]

I still want him, some people on here wrote him off already because he didn't prove anything yet, even though he hasn't had a chance to, but to answer your question NO

[Clinton Portis # 26]

Nah.

Go work on Sinorice Moss before we take him as well.

[flexxskins]

Do you guys really believe that the OP is a giants fan? :)

All Your Mix's Are Belong To Us

[#98QBKiller]

No way, he's OURS

[RDSCNZ20]

get your own MIX...

[TheREALJBird]

If he doesn't show a lick of offensive capability(which everyone here swears he has unlimited amounts of), then sure take him:laugh:

[CM916]

We'd rather keep him and not use him than let you have him. I bet he's a little pissed about the super bowl though.

nailed it. yessssssssss

[da#1skinsfan]

what is with the love for mix on here? just because of his size and he played with JC?

[Stophovr6]

I thought he did an awesome job on Special Teams and if his usefuleness as a WR doesn't pan out, I'd still like to keep him around for ST's. He seems like the next James Thrash to me. And I for one like Thrash.:2cents::point2sky

[Audible_Red40]

No!!!! Only because ES would not be the same without a mancrush. Once the mancrush for Espy comes back, maybe we'll talk.

[Robbnva]

I still want him, some people on here wrote him off already because he didn't prove anything yet, even though he hasn't had a chance to, but to answer your question NO

he proved enough on special teams. this WR has contributed more in 1/2 a seaosn than Lloyd contributed his entire NFL career with the skins.

[AURugby1984]

Anthony is a great person and equally great talent. I was given the opportunity of attending Auburn University from 2002-2006 and saw some amazing football played that included him. I love his play on ST and hope that we can harness the aggressiveness that he plays with over to the Offense.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Yea...you really missed him.....

[Robbnva]

with Thrash, Caldwell, Mccardell & B Lloyd gone next year which is what JLC has hinted then Mix SHOULD have a legit chance at making the team considering our remainder WRs are Moss & ARE

Yep Thrash is getting up there in age.
Keep Mix. You can have the trolls on our site.

[ST is my boy]

what is with the love for mix on here? just because of his size and he played with JC?

He sure was a hell of a special teams player....im definitly interested in seeing what he can do offensivly.

[Joe Sick]

You can gladly have him, for a 7th round pick...

We can find another slow, big guy to catch one ball per game...

[Mad Mike]

Silly rabbit, Mix is for kids! :D

[Joe Sick]

He sure was a hell of a special teams player....im definitly interested in seeing what he can do offensively.

How does one quantify a "hell of a special teams player?" I see 8 tackles for Mix in 5 games. Is that what qualifies as "great?"

Just wondering, since it seems we have Thrash, Cartwright, Jimoh and Mix who are all irreplaceable and/or "a hell of a player" on special teams...

With all of these great special teams players, its a wonder we ever give up a return! :laugh:

Special teams guys, ideally, are young, hungry guys who play their butts off to get "real" playing time. Washed up players like Thrash, as well as scrappy but underathletic positions players like Rock and Jimoh, should be cut to make way for guys who play a real position, not just punt coverage lane control. That is how you build depth, not by keeping around marginal players, who will never grow into stars, and who barely make the field at their position. We already have three of these guys, kicker, punter and snapper. We should keep one of the four players listed above, no more.

I realize the importance of special teams, but I am not naive enough to believe that James Thrash is the only one capable of downing a punt, or Rock is the only one that could run a KO back for a TD.

[WashingtonFederals]

Zorn is a Lefty QB, and so is Lorenzen...
Give us back Mix, throw in Cooley,, and we'll give you Shockey, Moss2, and the Hefty Lefty...
DEAL???

[Schoolmaster]

AND... He's bigger than Thrash AND... he will give use serious depth at WR, H, and possibly TE. What a pickup!

Why would you dispense with Caldwell ??

[[[ghost]]]

:laugh: Good one.

Pretty much. I think we're all just in shock that we got someone taller than ourselves.

HELL to the NO!

[Robbnva]

Why would you dispense with Caldwell ??

JLC said he was having problems with his knees

Brandon Lloyd (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Brandon+Lloyd?tid=informline) is almost certain to be released, according to sources who have talked to Snyder and Cerrato. Veteran Keenan McCardell (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Keenan+McCardell?tid=informline) is also unlikely to be back. James Thrash (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/James+Thrash?tid=informline), a special teams standout for Gibbs, might not return, and concerns over chronic knee problems could mean that reserve Reche Caldwell (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/related/topic/Reche+Caldwell?tid=informline) also will not be re-signed.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/11/AR2008021102433_2.html?nav=emailpage&sid=ST2008021102877

Basically we will have a whole new receiver corp. I would say Mix, Espy, and whoever our "elite receiver" will be

[[S.S.F. | Nero]]

I'm not really sure why there is so much anymosity toward the Mix bandwagon.

Take Reche Caldwell for instance. Check the recent post asking why we would consider releasing Caldwell.

Now ask yourself this, why didn't Reche Caldwell even dress for the first month that he was on the team? It was because he doesn't play special teams.

Why did Anthony Mix dress and see the field after 1 week with the team? It was because he plays special teams.

My point is, don't write Mix off as having no offensive upside simply because he hasn't cracked the starting WR unit. It took Caldwell a month to gain enough confidence in coaches to let him play, and then when he did, he performed adequately.

If Mix isn't getting looks in the pre-season, then I would be concerned. But I think the coaches know they stole him from the Giants. And I think they are going to see if they can turn him into a jumpball type of receiver.

At worst, he can be a red zone target and a good blocking WR (key in WCO ;))

[A Real Mench]

hes going to be a sure fire hall of famer when they decide to start him......... according to half the experts on this site

[Skin51]

lil off subject but has any 1 played with mix in madden...shoot i love him....so freaking tall
i can go down the middle now

[Peregrine]

Sure. He isnt a big enough name, and doesnt cost 5 mill a year. Hes no use to us!

[BG4Life]

Zorn is a Lefty QB, and so is Lorenzen...
Give us back Mix, throw in Cooley,, and we'll give you Shockey, Moss2, and the Hefty Lefty... DEAL???
Is you crazy?! Either you're zorny or all mixed up. :silly:

[KNGwithOUTaCrwN]

i dont really have an opinion on this one. even if we keep him,he hasnt even really proved himself yet. we havent seen enough of him to see if he can work with the skins squad and really have success here

[pjfootballer]

How does one quantify a "hell of a special teams player?" I see 8 tackles for Mix in 5 games. Is that what qualifies as "great?"

I tried to find yearly leaders in ST tackles, but was unable to find them. I think 8 tackles in 5 games is good. I think at one point Rock led the team with 31 tackles in 16 games. Also, ST's is more than tackles. Blocking, downing the ball, etc. are just as important.

[pjfootballer]

Can we please have him back???
PLEASE???

A Giants fan

We'll give you Lloyd and Mix for your 1st and 2nd this year and your 1st next year. And we'll throw in Vinny as a consolation prize.

[angel2]

You can gladly have him, for a 7th round pick...

We can find another slow, big guy to catch one ball per game...





But he doesn't play slow. He needs to improve on his routes but that comes with repetition, Mix is a fine. He can do things after the catch. Plus, he doesn't mind getting dirty.

[steve09ru]

We can find another slow, big guy to catch one ball per game...

care to elaborate? proof of being slow and shown offensive series besides running plays?

have you seen him play when given the opportunity (giants)...the guy is young and catches anything around him, not to mention tall and physical. The reason the Giants dumped him is because they have Plax as a big possession receiver, and Bradshaw was fumbling too much on ST. So then they brought in Hixon and had to free up room.

Slow? of course he's slow (better 40 time out of college than Chad Johnson), 10.5 100 yard isn't too shabby either.

he was the first one downfield against Seattle to recover the Kick-off. Not to mention his poor foot/hand mechanics on stayin infront of Hester on coverage while forcing a fumble and making a couple key tackles.

But quickness, awareness, and being physical don't really matter for a big possession receiver in the NFL.

I find it funny how everyone says stuff on how he is slow, can't catch or run routes when they haven't seen him play. Ask any Giants or Auburn fan on what they think of him - they have seen him.

[CM916]

Do practice squad members get Superbowl rings?

It's up to the team on that but Mix had been on their active roster earlier in the year.

[WashingtonFederals]

We'll give you Lloyd and Mix for your 1st and 2nd this year and your 1st next year. And we'll throw in Vinny as a consolation prize.

Lloyd???
No thanks, we'd rather have a TE, who can play nice with the QB, and shut his face in the locker room, that's Why I'd prefer throwing in Cooley, for Shox...

I also figured the Lefty/lefty thing would be a coaches fantasy, but oh well...

Ok...

Mix, Cooley, and you can give us Brunnell, rather than dump him in the parking lot...

The Giants will give you Shockey, Moss2, RW McQuarters, Lorenzen, and our 3rd round pick...

Also, we'll forgive you for not warning us about Arrington...
But in turn, you need to petition the NFL to add Doug Williams/Earnest Byner's USFL stats to their career #'s...

[Monk4thaHALL]

And we'll throw in Vinny as a consolation prize.

:applause:

Right on.

[WashingtonFederals]

Mrs Vinny doesn't even want Vinny anymore!!!:laugh:
Look for Parcells to pick him up while he's "Dumpster diving" in the off-season...

[Monk4thaHALL]

we'll forgive you for not warning us about Arrington...


I don't know what we could have said that would have prevented the Achilles injury.

Maybe someone could have said that he had 2 botched knee surgeries (while with the skins) prior to the 2005 season (or during, I can't remember)...

Still, I think Lavar got shafted here. (IMO) He was one heck of an athlete, one tough guy and a tremendous competitor, plus a nice guy. You can't predict or prevent injuries.



But in turn, you need to petition the NFL to add Doug Williams/Earnest Byner's USFL stats to their career #'s...

No problem there.

[WashingtonFederals]

No problem there.

DEAL!!!
Send Mix/Cooley/Brunnell over now, no take-backs!!!:D

[Oldskool]

Take Mix and give us a bag of chex mix in return. That's pretty much a fair deal.

[NFC Beast]

Mix.... Is he still playing football?
Oh well,
We have Brandon London now.

NFL Draft Prospect Interview: Brandon London, WR, UMass by Michael Abromowitz, 4/14/07. There are two things you can’t coach in football: height and speed. Brandon London has both. His tall stature and quick speed have NFL scouts noticing him. London has very solid hands to go with his height and speed. He also has a solid football pedigree. His father played college at Richmond and now is the defensive coordinator for the University of Virginia, while his uncle played at Virginia. London finished his college career with 148 receptions, 2022 receiving yards, and 15 touchdown receptions.

Do you read mock drafts or what draft experts have to say?

He is our new Anthony Mix, only quicker.



You'll know his name sooner or later.

[ManleyMann7271]

We'll hopefully keep Mix, but you have Sheli, what more could you want?

[skinsyear2007]

give us your superbowl and we will give you mix

[WashingtonFederals]

Keep a few healthy RB's and you just might get there!!!
I'm hearing D. Ward might want out...

[CGSKINS]

I realy think this guy could be starting WR on our team.

Why go give up draft picks on Chad Johnson.

[DirtySkin21]

i dont want d ward.. portis is way better than any RB the giants have, give me a break.. they are aproduct of the o-;ine
