Mixon 17

Talking of wanting him cut released is really kind
Of silly. Anybody wanna guess how many TDS
Alex Erickson has scored in 2 years ?

Yes he has TDs and a greater threat downfield... but lets dig into more stats on the two that are also interesting over last three years

Games Played:  Erickson:  48  Ross:  24
Catches:  Erickson:  75  Ross 49
Targets/Catches %   Erickson: 60%   Ross:  42%
Specialities:  Erickson: Punter/Kicker Returner, vs. Ross (im not sure if he has an official return)

Finally here is a real telling stat on production.  in 2018 Ross played 60% of Off. plays but only recorded 21 catches.. Alex played in 37% of Off plays and had 20 catches.. This is the main issue with Ross so far in his career.. well outside of only playing 50% of the games.. he has not shown the ability to actually get open, run proper routes and make the catches on consistent bases.. where Alex has..  Look 40 time is overrated but some think Alex is slow as a WR.. well he did run a 4.4 so I would not consider that slow for a WR.

So my last post on this.. if Ross does not show improvement in preseason games.. and Taylor actually wants to hold up to his word of "holding accountable" Ross is on the bubble of being cut....
