[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 817721, member: 10086"] That was exactly it. Looking back on these moves, I see both of those guys as “not living up to their potential”. I actually defended Dix on more than one occasion early on when folks in here said he was a terrible tackler. Dix became what I refer to as a polarized playmaker. He either stuffed you for -2 with a perfect form hard hitting tackle... or he missed assignment and let a receiver run completely unabated. No in between. He was rarely if ever a Safety that would change the complexity of a contest. As far as Monty. He had so much potential as that universal tool. He was actually very talented, but he obviously had health issues which didn’t help. He also had issues protecting the ball before that KR though. He just went downhill and looked almost lethargic. I have a hunch that after that last fumble he either tried to dodge responsibility or gave someone a dose of attitude (likely upset at himself) behind the scenes afterwards I believe that lack of accountability came to a head. It didn’t sit well for a HC needing a scapegoat for the poor discipline that had come to the public eye by mid season. Ty was expendable and MM was mitigating damages at that juncture. It was overkill in an attempt for either Zook or MM to save face. It was too little too late. Again, just a hunch from the way things played out. [/QUOTE]
