Redskins Radio: Skins sign WR Anthony Mix

[skinsfan_nn]

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!!!

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

Kenny Watson is not so bad. Franco Harris was great.

Man, I always thought Kenny Watson would have been fine as a third down back here. Tough to see him go.

As far as Penn State running backs, I was thinking of Ki-jana Carter, Blair Thomas, and Curtis Enis. Sure, the Nittany Lions will produce some good ball carriers here and there, but lately they've had some highly touted guys come into the NFL and fall flat on their faces.

What about Chris Collinsworth? He was decent...

I'm talking about Gator busts from the last decade. If you want to go back as far as Collinsworth, then we can add Ricky Nattiel to the bust ledger.

Yeah, I had never heard of this guy but when someone said 6'5 230-something I was immediatly a fan. The guy really doesen't need to have great hands he can just reach up over everybody. Who knows maybe we will all see him sometime soon?

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.

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?
