JetCane Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 He will be the next Wilfork. I just spoke to my boys in FLA, and he is getting it done in a big way, tying up the middle of the line, stopping the run. He's gonna be a beast. These guys are covering Canes practice like I do, and they know their stuff. http://miami.scout.com/a.z?s=13&p=8&c=1&nid=3063672 And the DE, Calais campbell is going in the first 6 picks as of now, so i dont expect the jets will be able to get him, but he has been lights out in practice. We will need a beast on the DL in next years draft. call me for references Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetCane Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 No, you're thinking of calais campbell, the DE, who is being projected as top 5 pick. The DT I am speaking of is Antonio Dixon. Here's something on Dixon from todays thread: Dixon's doing well. The first team O had nowhere to run when he was in the scrimmage today and he freed up Gooden and Sharpton to make plays. I believe Clint Hurtt singled him out for praise the other day in an interview with insidetheu.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just sayin, one minor incident shouldnt destroy the guy's draftability. Wasnt Meriweather the guy who shot a gun at intruders who had followed them home from a club?

Gainzo Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 So, how is Brandon doing in tc? He has been doing OK. With Asante not in Camp he has been playing a lot of corner. When Asante shows up (which he will) I expect Brandon to play in the nickel and dime as well as on special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball is still going on... college football doesnt start until november I thought.... Hello, my name is Jetcane, and I'm a football addict. I'm trying to cut back though. I didnt buy ESPN's college football gameplan this year. I realize that means i will have to attend gamewatches at bars with people when the game isnt on TV, but my dog and cats are getting bored with me, so it must be time to leave the house. I know all of the Jets players' numbers by heart and they havent even made the first cut yet. My car drives to Hempstead on automatic pilot. Group: Hello Jetcane!

harris5214 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Antonio Dixon is the man plain and simple, read an interesting interview about him recently, I`ll see if I can find it. I think we defintatley have to rebuild or d-line, and if we can get Dixon and say somebody like Tyson Jackson out of LSU we will be set. Antonio Dixon Interview..http://miami.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=116&tid=98772000&mid=98772000&sid=903&style=2 that should give you a good idea about his character.

I Like his character but im not so sure NFL scouts, coaches, and GM's are going to be in love with his intelligence. I understand he has an impediment but NFL teams generally dont like drafting guys with any of those types of disabilities in the 1st day.... Having said that, if the kid is the real deal on the field, and exception or two can definately be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the reasons you stated above I doubt the Jets will take him. Mangini likes very smart players. If he is there when the Jets select, I doubt it unless there is a meltdown this season, and they pass on him, it will be a major mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Where do you project Dixon would go if he comes out? right now... rounds 4-5 with upside to go higher (maybe as high as round 2 or 3) based on a DOMINATING season. He's probably not going to run a fast 40... and doesn't have a ton of starting experience - also note he's looking good in practice against a MIA OL with no real prospects - one to watch once bullets start flying for real. how this player does in his junior and if possible senior year will determine a-lot.
