At the end of the game, Hixon was sitting on the bench by himself, and I was looking for his presence on the field the whole game.  I wanted to see Hixon since he does have playoff and superbowl experience.  He would have been our secret weapon and Shula a la Ron dropped the ball again.  Plus McNutt would have been the secret sauce.  I was not a believer before this game in our weapons and the reason is because of Shula.  He came out in the first quarter blazing saddles then he cooled the spurs.

 

D.G. has his work cut out for him this offseason plus the decision to keep Riverboat.  Ron I like his gamble but everyone knew it was a qb sneak.  I wish Hixon would have been on the field more than Lafell.  Imo Smith, Hixon and Ginn would have been the difference in us winning the game and keeping the chains moving  to losing.  Did Hixon get any runs?

The decision to keep RIvera is going to be on Jerry Richardson  no matter what the hell DG has to say.

I still say if Rivera doesn't put in D.G.'s guy in a playoff game and the last minutes of the game you see Hixon sitting on the sidelines by himself looking like "aint this bout a bitch".  Then I am sure D.G. isn't going to be happy because Riverboat didn't use all of the tool that were forced in his toolbox.  I am pretty sure any other hc in the league would have used the one guy on offense that was brought in by a gm as a trusted piece, but not rr.  His ice up son was melted down son.

It's not a matter of Hixon having enough experience or not. The players on the field were those that Cam had the most chemistry with and reps with during the season. Everything needs to be fluid and timing has to be perfect. Perhaps in future season Hixon may work into the mix a bit more, but while

LaFell, Smitty, and Olsen are still here, Hixon will be a backup #2WR until he wins out the starting position in training camp.

Ok that's fair to say but he is the hc so that is his job.  We need someone else that can take the team to the next level by at least trying to use all of the pieces given to him.

Lmao... The guy has been here 3 years. The only thing Rivera is known for is pulling his head out of his ass and taking some risks here and there to give the team a chance to win some games.

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that would could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch him.  If he regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.

      Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.

      He did himself more harm than good by engaging in this ridiculous legal battle. One it brought to light how much gambling he was actually doing and two it made him a very unlikable figure from a public perspective because he was challenging the perceived sanctity (lol) of college sports. Then to make things worse his lawyers convinced a very stupid and very gullible old boomer judge to agree with him. Now he’s a lightning rod entering the league and that’s not a good place to be.
