Riley Dixon

Weequahic 59 : 11/30/2021 3:00 pm
Dixon ranks last in the league in punting average with a 45.3 avg and in the bottom3 with a net avg of 40.3 Also, his hang time is terrible. He is mediocre at best. Are we looking for a change?
Is a bum

Yeah he leaves too many yds on the field. Not what you would expect from Judge.
He's a weak link for sure.  
Jimmy Googs : 11/30/2021 3:18 pm : link
Good news is he has plenty of company in the weak link meeting room...
maybe he's be better at

We can practically point to the major portion of players on the Giants  
Giants61 : 11/30/2021 3:24 pm : link
with the similar concerns. Dixon however is not a great concern compared to most others
they had a punter in for tryouts  
Dinger : 11/30/2021 3:25 pm : link
among others this week. Dixon is not a keeper. he seems to have regressed during his tenure here.

Sucks.
The Giants are tough on their punters...  
BamaBlue : 11/30/2021 3:27 pm : link
lots of kicks from their side of the 50 and lots of 3 and outs. It's not surprising, Dixon's leg has gone dead.
Like Arch Manning.............

I always wished Dave Jennings had a son who excelled at punting!

We have the kicking thing nailed.....can't we find a punter out there?
In this weeks podcast Tynes had nothing good to say  
Batenhorst7 : 11/30/2021 4:16 pm : link
about Dixon

He did say on the final punt the Eagles were bringing the house so Dixon was in hurry up and get it off mode

netted 30 yds with no hang time

on Barkley-

Did you listen to lawrence tynes podcast this week
He was laughing and incredulous that Barkley could run 12 times for only 8 Freeakingg YDs!!!!!!

Suggested puting Booker in the same backfield with The Generational Back.....I never thought of that one

I think Tynes was saying Mara and Gettleman would never take
Barkley off the field, so at least put a real RB with him to share the football....also Booker can BLOCK
The punting numbers suck  
Mike in NY : 11/30/2021 4:20 pm : link
But we have never had an issue with poor snap/hold on FG or XP. I think that is what Judge and Giants brass cares more about versus an extra 2-3 net yards per punt. Dixon's net also suffers because in the area just beyond FG range other teams go for it on 4th down and Judge punts. There is not a lot of margin for error so you either get directional punts that grosses and nets 30 yards or you get 40 yard punt that goes into the end zone netting only 20 yards.
San Diego St punter

Good Point...

Id love to see the old direct snap to "Gary Reasons" to net that 1st down on a fake punt
This team has been losing so long  
WillieYoung : 11/30/2021 4:33 pm : link
the fans are excusing terrible performance. So Dixon would lead the league in punting in Washington where they always go for it. Sure, tell yourself that if it makes you feel better about having the worst punter in the league and one who saves his shanks for crunch time.

Is this a serious take. He s a professional athlete don’t think his leg should be tired 60, 70 punts.
he is not worth his cap number  
GiantsFan84 : 11/30/2021 4:54 pm : link
it's as simple as that. he should have been cut this offseason and should be in the next one

re: Mara and Gettleman: That makes zero sense, they have to be motivated to win the game. Not to see barkley succeed. He's here another year maybe hes not ready yet, maybe he will never be ready.

This thread about Dixon reminds me of when...  
EricJ : 11/30/2021 5:19 pm : link
Coughlin cut Dodge after that horrible collapse (the last miracle at the Meadowlands) when he punted to D Jax and we lost the game.

The team folded mid 3rd quarter. Offense stopped trying to move the ball and we went conservative. Defense in the 4th quarter could not stop the Eagles.

You could feel the game was slipping away. Then, we do not cover the punt. Coughlin blames the game on the punter for kicking to a guy.

Dodge was an easy guy to sacrifice at that moment. It was a total team collapse and one horrible job of coaching on our part.
He’s atrocious  
Dave in PA : 11/30/2021 5:24 pm : link
That punt at the end of the Eagles game should have contributed to a loss, he’s lucky it didn’t.
He’s like a thief…  
trueblueinpw : 11/30/2021 6:41 pm : link
Terrible player. I remember the guys from Big Blue Banter talking about Dixon this summer and how he was making a lot of money for a punter who had pretty lousy season last year. He gonna be cut. And as usual, about a year too late.
My NY Giants growing up always had a punishing rushing style,  
Jimmy Googs : 11/30/2021 6:56 pm : link
linebackers that impacted the game and very good punters.

Now we have none of these...

LOL...we were up 21 pts with 8 minutes left.

Then we let Brent Celick catch a 60 yd TD after we just scored to go up 21.

They scored and we couldn't even cover an onside kick.

Team did not fold mid 3rd quarter. It folded halfway thru the 4th.
