"I'm not Reggie White or Bruce Smith," says Ronnie Dixon, a 6'3", 310-pound defensive tackle, "but I'm not going to let anybody down." That's what new Jets coach Bill Parcells was banking on when he acquired Dixon, a fourth-year player out of the University of Cincinnati, from the Eagles in the off-season for a seventh-round draft pick. Parcells has a history of transforming no-name defensive tackles—Jim Burt with the Giants, for example—into successful players. His latest project has only 41 career tackles and no sacks but excels at the bull rush. If Parcells works his magic again, Dixon could be the interior wrecking ball the Jets defense has lacked in recent years.
