I think what he meant was it's good to not only see him score but get more touches and actually look like his taking command.He "broke out" because he scored his first TD of the year, on a play that just about any RB would have made? I like the guy too, butat the hyperbole.
I agree with that, but did you read his posts? I think he believes Dixon can walk on water and the tape from that game will heal sick children when they watch it.
This is the play I was describing in my post yesterday. The TD was easy. I am not saying he broke out because of that TD, more his usage and display of talent like this on the field. His shiftiness/pass catching ability was already on display in college, but I had no idea he had this kind of pad level leverage and power to move DLineman! LOL Has got all the tools on display in this game. He has the skills to be an effective 3 down workhorse back which is rare in this day. I pointed out the same thing in the Jordan Howard thread before his breakout. That is what I am excited about along with his usage when I term "breakout", not from the TD which was pretty non-special.
Just ignore him. That tool was following me around after I told him Coates had bad hands and can't track the ball, thus his big game was an aberration. He said something like he was going to bump my stupid post every time Coates blew up the rest of the year. Since that claim, Coates has 1 rec for 4 yards in 8 games.
What is going on? Did Dixon miss a block or something. Unreal. I thought he looked so good last week he would start taking this committee over.Still have a half to go, but I should have known better than to trust John Harbaugh, who seems to have no rhyme or reason as to how much he uses RBs from week to week.
like a woman scorned ... its like your unstable and have to put me down even before the game ends! Do you have dreams about me? LMAO
Nice call about West phased out.like a woman scorned ... its like your unstable and have to put me down even before the game ends! Do you have dreams about me? LMAO
I missed the post where you said West was going to not be phased out? What are you taking credit for exactly?
Yes, we were all thinking NFL practice squad after 2 years, 3 teams, and 3.9 ypc... but his career resurgence to the tune of 4.1 ypc has upgraded him to NFL JAG.
Have you actually watched him or are you just going by the stats? I mean, if you're just going by stats, West must be a much better receiving back since he has a lower drop rate and a higher average per reception, right?
I'm just being a little snarky. I have watched him. He looks better this year, but I think people insinuating that West and Dixon are similarly skilled are a little misguided.
As someone who owns a lot of Gurley, Hunter Henry and some Ladarius that whole article was like a feel good piece.
Exactly. The real telling sign will be whether they pick someone up in FA or draft someone high. Then we'll see where Harbaugh sees Dixon fitting in.
Your English is ####### terrible, but I like what you're saying.When Dixon is doing this? Why would they look to take a way touches from an RB paid high in FA or drafted too high in the Rookie Draft? Makes no Damn Sense.
Kenneth Dixon ave 11.8 ppg & 4.92 YPC over 98 touches from Wks 10-17. That's .96 points/touch.
Jordan Howard averaged .81 P/T on the yr.
In 2016, among all 71 running backs with at least 40 carries, Kenneth Dixon ranked first in missed tackles forced per attempt https://t.co/zn5fdQzHyy

The numbers come out that way because Dixon had 30 receptions and less than 90 rushing attempts, so in PPR his points/touch is inflated in comparison to a guy like Howard who had 30 receptions and 250 rushing attempts. Yes, its nice that Dixon catches passes but his points/touch would drop if he had more rushing attempts. And points/game is more important than points/touch. Over those 8 weeks, Dixon's best rushing total was 57 yards. Same time frame, Howard's worst game was 77 yards and half the games were 100+. Howard averaged over 10/reception and put up 1600+ rushing/receiving. Dixon averaged 5/catch and didn't compile 600 yards. Howard's TD total was low for his level of involvement. I could see that coming up some; especially if the Bears improve as an offense.When Dixon is doing this?

My problem with this complaint is the fact that Dixon only played half the season. So didn't have the opp to have as many carries. But what it does tell us is he was highly effective in most of the facets of the game when he did play. And they eased him in the rotation because T.West was playing pretty well with the talent he has and what he was asked to do. J.Howard didn't have any RB talent on the roster that was playing as well as T.West. So they were happy to give him as many carries as long as he held up and was productive.

I hope I'm not in any leagues with you, because I share pretty much the exact same sentiments. I expect him to be in the top 5 for RB receptions* and I also believe he'll be the favorite for goal line work. That alone will make him worth his ADP price. I'll gladly reach for him with the hope that he beats out West for those carries between the 20's. To me, that's what separates him from a high-end RB2 and a potential RB1.
I agree about the latter. There just hasn't been much news about him so it's good to see some.
I'm not anti-Dixon (own him in 1 league), but I really don't consider this "news" at all- he was asked a question about him in the presser, and gave what I consider a pretty luke-warm answer. Far more important (and damning, IMO) is Harbaugh saying that they need to add a RB back in January. Why would he say that if he thought Dixon was the answer? It may work out for him that no RBs are BPA when the Ravens draft, but I think it's pretty clear that they hope there is, so I'd say it's 50/50 that they add a RB in the first few rounds.
