I like what the kid can do, but have concluded he was a bit over drafted ,full disclosure I was one who was delighted we traded up for him,but I have also come to see his effectiveness in college hasn't translated as regularly to the pros because the level of competition is enough better that the talent mismatch he enjoyed has evaporated to a great extent .
I don't blame the coaches for using him "wrong" I blame him for not adapting his style ,seemed to me his every punt return last week was a race to the sideline,trying to beat the whole coverage team at once instead of the first man then the rest as they come.
I see little fast elusive guys all over the league now that teams got in later rounds that are as effective as TA, he's not a bust ,he IMO will pay dividends ,but his ROI will be less than I'd hoped for.
There are a lot of plays I could devise that focus on him that in my mind would work ,but every one of those plays would take a target from Quick or Britt or Bailey or Cook, guys I see making plays ,IMO the insistence on getting the ball to Austin by us is well established and isn't producing ,time IMO to quit making it a priority and let those plays come to us.
