Rhule is desperate, no patience for young developing players no matter how talented or athletic.  Nixon still has a lot to like but needs to be coached up. 

A quick look at our roster and depth charts say the opposite. 
 

Cutting a young guy doesn’t equal “Rhule hates young guys.”

I have no problem with it. Yeah I liked Nixon, but he was a 5th rounder. You can teach a DT techniques to get to the QB, but its harder to teach him not to get pushed around which is the #1 assignment for any DT in the league. Besides, he can be stashed on the practice squad and be 1 of the 55 of gamedays.

Don't get cutting Nixon over Bravvion Roy, among others.

I'm not alone...

 

He was outperformed by Hoskins, Roy, McCall etc. The only time he flashed last year was during the Colts joint practices. Aside from that, his 82 snaps over 7 games last season translated into just  half a sack, 1 solo tackle, and 2 QB hits.

There's no real surprise when we watch the performance on the field rather than the traits on paper.

Ellis likes players because of initial hype or because he interacts with them on Twitter.  Then never really alters his opinion based on play.

He is offering an opinion not based around being a kiss ass all the time. Yes the staff can and will make some mistakes. Like when we signed an LB then traded him while we went on to become thin at the position and he went on to become a pro bowler.

Then you haven't watched them play.

This is a very weird and slightly snotty take.

Nixon being cut is a surprise because he was cut over some guys that could easily be construed as worse. Now, is that a sinking versus floating turds argument? Most likely.

Curious to see if Nixon clears waivers and signs on the PS.

The idea of Nixon with great testing testing scores, defensive poy in college etc. was intriguing. But he did last to round 5 for a reason. I was hoping we got lucky with him but he hasn’t showed much in the run game. This is a run game upgrade, and we needed that. Wouldn’t be surprised if they expect to be able to sign him to the PS. Who would pick him up at this point? So a good overall move.
