What is really scary is that this UDFA Dixon has seen waaaay more playing time than SJB. Sure Dixon has failed out there; he's a dang rookie DB...he's expected to fail against veteran NFL receivers and veteran NFL QBs.

The biggest failure is SJB...he's not even out on the freakin' field on nickle or dime. Dixon is apparently beating him out in practice, so to me that shows Dixon has better technique and a better grasp of the defense than SJB.

Now that is scary. SJB has so much more physical talent than Dixon, yet Dixon sees the field way, way more often. What does that say about SJB?

I'm guessing the players who have better practices throughout the week are the ones seeing the playing field. So far...Dixon > SJB. For shame.
