Riley Dixon
What else can I say …
The kid may be the weakest link on the entire roster, and that’s made even more painful when you just pushed Britton Colquitt out the door for a few million dollars.
Since being given the job prior to Week 4 of the preseason, Riley Dixon has been embarrassingly, uncomfortably bad. Aside from one 54-yard punt, everything we’ve seen from Dixon has been underwhelming, and it could come back to cost the Broncos big time.
Even if the offense ends up being a little better this season, this is a team that will center around it’s defense and running game. That means field position will be a critical component of their success, and if they can’t flip the field, they’re in serous trouble.
From what I’ve seen, I seriously don’t know if Dixon is capable of doing that.
Unless he improves dramatically in the coming weeks, there’s a solid chance Denver looks for a replacement or Dixon ends up costing the Broncos a game with a shanked punt.
