My thing with Austin, and I am in no way trying to say he cannot or will not be a valuable part of this offense. But so many think BECAUSE of where he was drafted, that he has to be force fed the ball. He will never be the focal point of this offense. He is best served, and will be the most productive as accessory piece, who needs the others to produce to open things up for him.
There was a thread yesterday, in which Will Witherspoon broke down the "All 22" play in the Cleveland game. the pass from Hill to Britt along the sideline. If people go back and watch that play, see how Austin works himself wide open BEHIND the LB and has nothing but green grass in front of him. That happened BECAUSE Britt and Quick were drawing attention away from Austin. Not because Austin did anything special on the play.
If Schottenheimer made a mistake today, it was going in with the "plan" to get Austin the ball "twice a quarter" as he claimed. If this is true, its akin to the square peg/round hole principle to me. They need to incorporate him into the game plan just like any other player, not at the expense of them.
Yup he's not marshal Faulk and never will be,we did the same thing last year trying to force him to be a force, it does seem Shotty is more concerned with where TA was drafted than even some fans are..
BTW Givens made a hell of a catch today
