San Francisco 49ers running back Anthony Dixon apparently isn't worried about tweeting bulletin board material for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the teams' Sunday night showdown, the Associated Press reports. Dixon, a fourth-year player whose season high for carries is 70 as a rookie in 2010, posted his thoughts about the 49ers facing their NFC West rivals on his Twitter account Wednesday night. He tweeted: "Extra weight on the racks all week getting less sleep preparing for these She-Hawks I love hostile environments Imma feel right at home..." He later deleted the tweet Thursday morning, but not before it had been noticed and reported on by several media outlets. The 49ers held off the Seahawks last season to win the NFC West title for the second straight year, but San Francisco was blown out the last time it played at CenturyLink Field. The Seahawks blasted the 49ers 42-13 in that Dec. 23 game as Russell Wilson threw four touchdown passes and Marshawn Lynch rushed for 111 yards and a touchdown. Source: The Redzone
I like the competitive banter, buuuuuttt why would you need extra weights and sleep less for She-hawks? Obviously he knows they're a tough team and shouldn't take them lightly. They don't lose at home often
