I would think this week would be a great game to get his feet wet. He is good in coverage and our depth there is an issue.
Wonder why he hasn’t played yet? I’m sure he left Ole Miss based on a bunch of promises. They aren’t doing awful.I would think this week would be a great game to get his feet wet. He is good in coverage and our depth there is an issue.
Dixon needs to get bigger and more assignment sound and then he'll get his shot. Last I heard they want to redshirt him and try to make him in to somebody who can play linebacker at the next level. Just too small for the B1G right now and too slow to play safety.Wonder why he hasn’t played yet? I’m sure he left Ole Miss based on a bunch of promises. They aren’t doing awful.
Agree....but they shouldn’t have said how important he was going to be and that he was going to make huge impact this year during Spring practice. .
Lots of the young guys need to bulk up, but redshirt rule would be good to utilize this week.Dixon needs to get bigger and more assignment sound and then he'll get his shot.

I know he isn't where the staff wants him as a starter. I imagined he would play in 4 games thoughI don't remember them saying anything like that, in fact they said he would redshirt before the season even started, but why would it be a problem if they did? Just because he isn't ready to play now doesn't mean they don't like him or that he won't be a good player someday.

I think he is saying that the fan expectations are/were out of whack with Dixon because the coaches were talking him up in the Spring, especially after he got the waiver to play this season.
In fact I was pretty much raked over the coals at the time because I said he was too small to play linebacker in the Big Ten and that I didn't see him playing much, let alone starting.
Yes you did I remember you posting those words.I also remember you posting SF and Nebraska would win 9 games too....
Really wish you were right about the later..
I don’t remember him saying they would win 9 but I do remember him saying that they could win 8 games.
See and compare the Kade Warner thread for an idea.Dixon played in a grand total of 3 games for ole miss - had 2 solo tackles - and zero sacks
Not sure where all the summer hype came from.
