anyone else disappointed in Judge and Riley Dixon?

broadbandz : 5/6/2021 7:32 am
Lets be real Denver drafted Dixon and didnt want him, I thought he was just a patch because Wing was so terrible and would be replaced pronto.

But he is still here! Judge didnt grab a good punter in the 6th or find a free agent. Really sad to see Dixon is considered the man.
No

I like Dixon....and you do not waste draft picks on a punter unless Ray Guy's grandson is coming out of college....
No worries

we don't plan on punting this year...
When you only have 6 picks you can't fix everything  
edavisiii : 5/6/2021 7:40 am : link
With 10 picks last year.
oops  
edavisiii : 5/6/2021 7:40 am : link
with 10 picks next year they could add a punter if Dixon doesn't work out
Yes, it would be very smart to rush out and grab a punter who can”t

Practice with the team for months when you already have two under contract.

Free agency for punters is a year round process, but only if you need one.
What punter would you have drafted in the 6th  
mfsd : 5/6/2021 7:43 am : link
or signed as a free agent?
Last year Dixon was inconsistent  
SGMen : 5/6/2021 7:46 am : link
We can only hope our special teams takes a big step up.

Dixon has a good leg and I believe he can be at worst "average" and perhaps Top 10 should things fall right. He just isn't a Top 5 punter, IMHO, and as noted above you can't fix everything in one off-season.

We have 10 picks in next year's draft. I predict the Giants will win this division and a playoff game in 2021 as this team will gel late and be a force. If Chicago goes say pick 9th to 16th range, well, we are looking good for 2022 run.
I looked at this draft thread titile and went "Really? Really?  
GiantBlue : 5/6/2021 7:48 am : link
Maybe Dave and Joe should just throw out their personnel set-up to the various BBI Thread-starters to stock the team.

It is clear they don't know what they are doing by still having Riley Dixon on the team.

Really? Really?

he wasn't as good last year  
giants#1 : 5/6/2021 7:49 am : link
but I thought he was top 10 in 2019 (finished 9th in both net and punts inside the 20). Was still among the best at pinning teams inside the 20 last year too (3rd most).
I agree. Considering the season is starting tomorrow, and there are  
glowrider : 5/6/2021 7:49 am : link
literally no more available players anywhere, nor will new players come available, there’s just no way this team will continue to address the roster this year. Saw Judge submit his final depth chart on stone tablets via hammer and chisel.

Pack it up and wait for 2022 boys. 2021 is a failure. /s
Good post broadbandz  
mittenedman : 5/6/2021 7:49 am : link
Dixon really is a bad punter. He often kicks to the wrong side of the field. His best kick is the one that looks like a shank that he usually gets a good bounce on, and it falls way short and rolls down the field.

He is apparently a very good athlete capable of all sorts of fakes, but he is not good at his primary job responsibility and was a big reason why the punt coverage struggled last year.

DG did draft a running back

so he is probably still planning on running the ball.

Good question. We'll see if you get an answer.
I was kinda disappointed  
EmusNYG : 5/6/2021 9:11 am : link
with special teams this year. With Judge and McGaughey this year I thought we would be amazing on special teams, but we kinda fell apart after the team lost Nate Ebner. As for Dixon, I trust Judge knows what he's doing. If he believes in Dixon than so then I.

I am guessing that the OP is too young to remember when our HB, Ernie Koy did the punting. He wasn't very good at punting, but he could sell a ruffing call (in those days, all were 15 yds ) pretty well.
I bet Toney can punt--he seems to be able to do everything else.

I think everyone outside of dorgan and BB '56 is too young to remember that. Can't say that i really remember a punter before Dave Jennings.

That was the mid 1960's. I am sure others remember.

If you don't have or can't offer a solution then maybe there really isn't a problem. Better yet as a fan maybe you are not qualified to suggest it is a problem.

The difference, since it clearly flew right over your head, is that not punting all year means that your offense is so good that it scores on every drive.

And it was obviously a joke.

Totally agree.
