No! He's...


...O.K.

And Pro...I see where you get the resemblance. However, Dixon actually looked like Sanders in the way he "broke ankles" as stated by Eric Davis. Davis's strength comes on when needed and so does the speed. It's the way they come on that's amazing.

He simply seems to have knack to find day light and score. He a combo Gore and Bettis with feet like Sanders. Again, it is the way he simply makes players miss.

What I love about the situation is that he comes in to dispell Gore and only increase our rush totals and TDs. Can you imagine after gaining a lead heading into the fourth to bring him in to wind the clock out like Norris did for the Giants, Bettis for Pitt, etc. now we can save Gore and use Dixon.

That's really what I am happy about as it means our depth rivals championship teams...Finally!

Nice job Baalke!

Your bias precedes you. I never claimed he was as good as or better then Campbell. I said he runs like him.

I saw many comparisons of Anthony Dixon to runningbacks and they all have merit but it seemed to me I had seen a guy who he reminded me most of. I finally remembered who it was and that was Earl Campbell. Earl also had that wild sort of running style and the quick feet. He was also big and nifty for such a big guy.

Yeah, that's a good comparison. Big guys with quick feet. Seems to keep his balance while cutting when he looks like he shouldn't be able to.

Bettis...too obvious?

I see Brown as running controlled and angry, I don't see that in Dixon. But it's not like Dixon can't do that from time to time.
