[firstdown]

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

So who did we let go to nab him?

From the WR Mix waived; former Bronco Hixon signed - NJ.com: Ledger on the Giants link, it looked like Giants fans were pretty mad that he was released. Maybe, there's something there. Ya gotta like his size.

Ok, now we have 6 receivers on the roster, is this a sign that Saunders will open the book more and try 4 Wideouts? Just a thought.

Maybe it's a sign that three of them have been battling what appear to be chronic injuries in recent weeks, and the other three are hardly starting material.

Saw this guy play in the preseason Giant games and thought he would be their 4th receiver. Good possession guy obviously with his size. Caught about 15 balls and a couple of TDs. Worth a look--probably better than Toler...

Don't know anything about this Mix kid, I think the size is great, don't think we will see much or any of him, but anyway.

But speaking of mix, I'm curious why Caldwell isn't more into it..? Is he not getting it or what..? I thought this guy would have a chance to step up and get some playing time.

It appears they aren't impressed with him...?

Don't be surprised by Caldwell's lack of productivity. Show me a Florida WR that has had any success outside of Darrell Jackson. Here are a few Gator products that were 1st or 2nd round busts:

Reche Caldwell
Travis Taylor
Jabar Gafney
Jacquez Green
Taylor Jacobs
Chad Jackson

I may be missing others

Thanks Beemer - there are so many Gator WR busts, it's impossible to keep track of them all!!!

[Beemnseven]

Ain't it the truth. Just like Penn State running backs. Outside of Larry Johnson of course.

What about Chris Collinsworth? He was decent...

Thanks for the history fellas. I was wondering why Caldwell didn't get on the field. In hindsight, it was probably good Gibbs/Saunders kept giving Moss opp after opp. Hopefully our playmaker at WR is on track for the next 6 games. HUGE DIFFERENCE WEEK TO WEEK! Just look how much more potent our air game was Sunday.

Even if this Mix kid just provides another big target in redzone/goal line, or even just a big distraction in those situations, he's worth it.
