Rhule is desperate, no patience for young developing players no matter how talented or athletic.  Nixon still has a lot to like but needs to be coached up. 

A quick look at our roster and depth charts say the opposite. 
 

Cutting a young guy doesn’t equal “Rhule hates young guys.”

I have no problem with it. Yeah I liked Nixon, but he was a 5th rounder. You can teach a DT techniques to get to the QB, but its harder to teach him not to get pushed around which is the #1 assignment for any DT in the league. Besides, he can be stashed on the practice squad and be 1 of the 55 of gamedays.

Don't get cutting Nixon over Bravvion Roy, among others.

I'm not alone...

 

He was outperformed by Hoskins, Roy, McCall etc. The only time he flashed last year was during the Colts joint practices. Aside from that, his 82 snaps over 7 games last season translated into just  half a sack, 1 solo tackle, and 2 QB hits.

There's no real surprise when we watch the performance on the field rather than the traits on paper.

Ellis likes players because of initial hype or because he interacts with them on Twitter.  Then never really alters his opinion based on play.

He is offering an opinion not based around being a kiss ass all the time. Yes the staff can and will make some mistakes. Like when we signed an LB then traded him while we went on to become thin at the position and he went on to become a pro bowler.

Then you haven't watched them play.

This is a very weird and slightly snotty take.

Nixon being cut is a surprise because he was cut over some guys that could easily be construed as worse. Now, is that a sinking versus floating turds argument? Most likely.

Curious to see if Nixon clears waivers and signs on the PS.

The idea of Nixon with great testing testing scores, defensive poy in college etc. was intriguing. But he did last to round 5 for a reason. I was hoping we got lucky with him but he hasn’t showed much in the run game. This is a run game upgrade, and we needed that. Wouldn’t be surprised if they expect to be able to sign him to the PS. Who would pick him up at this point? So a good overall move.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
