Austin gets a lot of flack but props to him for finding ways to contribute even when relieved of certain duties.

TA has always been a willing blocker and more effective than most of his teammates in years past.

That was a beautiful block. He wasn't given the credit during the game. Glad you posted it.

Gurley got the corner. But Tavon's block cleared the path to the goal line. I've had some harsh things to say from time to time, but I think he's finally understanding what it takes. Good job kid.

today, not much!

but the two losses , it woulda been nice!


Look at a teams payroll, then look at the TD's.

When you do the math they are expensive.

So anyhow they happen matters and anyone helping matters.

Not his first really good block down field but one of his best for sure.

It was a hell of a block!

He should have taken it to the house on that one outside run but ran the wrong way. More attempts on that play will come this season and he will score more.

I posted about this on other threads. Thanks for posting video. It was a great blocker against Peterson. Funny to think, as others have pointed out, he was a more willing blocker than Cook Britt etc despite his physical limitations.

I'm willing to eat crow re: Austin. Blocking weekly.. And will stand down on his role next season. He's helping us win so far this season, minus the special teams role

What have you done, Bome? Now that we have a positive Austin thread, there must be 7 negative Austin threads this week to counteract it. ;)

Gotta give Tay some cred, since I ride his @$$ around here. He played a good game and helped us secure a huge win. The block was good, but so were a couple of his key yard pickups.
