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...?

I've been wondering the same thing. They said KM understood the offense having played in a similar one in San Diego. But Reche was his teammate so you'd figure he'd get it too.

As for Mix, doesn't seem like it could hurt. I'm more curious about the DeMulling release. With the injuries along the O-line I'm not sure why they would let him go. Only thing I could surmise is that Randy Thomas could be back in a game or two. Wouldn't that be something if he suited up on Sunday?

With a name like Tony Mix how can you not be a DJ?

I'm a little suspicious.

Excellent size, good speed, but he's on a practice squad. What gives?

Something obviously lacks with this guy. Looks like the physical attributes are there - wonder if it's something that can be coached? Bad hands? Bad route running? Dumb as a brick?

Something's up. It's nice to see a big WR dressed in B&G though.

I think down the stretch they are going to loosen the reigns on Campbell. It was very impressive what he did against Dallas with a patchwork offensive line, and I think the coaching staff is starting to gain more and more confidence in him.

So they are probably going to let him pass the ball more and more.

And what better way to give a young talented QB confidence then to present him a VERY big target with which to throw to.

Sounds to me like they are trying to program Campbell for success.

Not often that I agree with stjack, but this is no sandtrap. We do have a patchwork O-line, no doubt.

Here's the link to the Giants board about them letting him go, some of them are pissed. I love it, New York Giants Message Boards - Another good player gone...

I read the whole article,the thing that struck me most about it was giants fan saying gibbs should retire

"The skins are getting older, not younger. They needed Mix more than we did for this reason. But the problem with the Skins is not it's team so much as it is their HC. As much respect as I have for Gibbs, he's a corpse and should retire. He has about as much life as is needed to drain that team of what energy they have left. I know this post is about Mix, but at the same time, I don't think the Skins will have a winning club until Gibbs retires. "

Yeah, they want him to retire cause they are scared shitless!!!!

Big thing on the college scout was work ethic--if he busts his tail here (and with JC riding him, he ought to), he could be good. The key is can he pick up the Hback position--that would be huge. Plus, he's gotta play teams.

Certainly can't hurt.

I watched him some in pre season and honestly I said who is this kid because he looked like he was a real problem for any CB inside the 10 yard line, my thought at the time was here's another Giants WR who can jump over the top of any of our CB's, he looked like he played hard, and was aggresive going after the ball.

One thing is for sure when we were at the 50 with time running out against Dallas, all I could think was to bad we don't have a WR who can go after a jump ball, he probably wont see a lot of time, but we just might see him when you need to just throw it up there and hope, I really like this signing.

I am thrilled about the move...any time you can get someone that has chemistry with a young QB, it's a good thing. We'll finally have someone LARGE he can throw to. I am concerned about his work ethic and his lack of speed, but we don't need him to be amazingly fast.
From what I understand from a Giants fan friend of mine, he did very well in the preseason and was shocked he was released.
