I love that! This guy gets it. The way he says that to me goes way beyond the football field. This guy understands the power of positive thinking and visualization. No wonder he was so successful at West Virginia. I can't think of any reason that won't continue with the Rams and he will help lead this team to the playoffs!

Thanks for posting.

I'm probably alone on this but I'm against using this Austin for KRs and PRs. We'll see what the Rams think but I'm worried about it.

GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With his ability in space... you've gotta let him return kicks. he could bring it to the house at any time. There's those players that when it's the kickoff... everyone's eyes are glued because it could be a big play. Tavon is one of those guys.

That was one of the main reasons they got him. Its not like hes a #1 receiver

When a player costs you the equivalent of two starters then he has to last a long time for you to recoup your investment. Not to mention that he needs to perform at an extrememly high level (not talking about his first year). It's doubtful we will ever achieve that but we need to optimize his touches to prolong his career IMO. I'd rather average 5 yards less per PR/KR and have him available in our regular offense.

He'll have plenty of chances "in space" on screens and such where the D doesn't get a running start on him.

GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sort of where you are at. I hate to subject him to punts.

Then again; he's here to make plays and that's a nice part of his game.

CGI_Ram was of two minds:

How many times have we seen a punt returner refuse to call a "fair catch" and get creamed right after the catch? He'll be unprotected with his arms up. If he's gonna do it he better be really smart about it. Competitive juices get flowing and players do stupid things. One hit like that at his size could be all she wrote.

GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Austin knows how to limit the hard hits that he receives, and it's one of the reasons why he never missed a game in college. Bruce and Holt used to do it a lot when coming across the middle to just slide down. To me it lengthen their careers.

Ohh sweet my avatar is working!! SHAKA!

I agree with ya thar Albecat. Don't want to see him returning punts full time.

Hey did you notice his ears in the interview? They look like The comic book dude "flash"

New nickname for TA ..Flash!

Maybe, but it's not gaonna stop me from worrying.

Last year I worried about us even catching the punt. This year it's about injuries. It just never stops when you're a Ram fan.

As long as it's not Pettis. That guy just didn't give a shit about anything it seemed.
"Fair catch? Pshhh. Just hit me, bitches."

The funny thing with Pettis is that you worried more about him getting creamed! If they still did the "jacked up" spot he would be on every week. :nono:

Yeah back in those days... when the ball was in the air... I'd say... "catch it" "catch it" "catch it".

Nice avatar!

Yes. History proves you right.

While I think the NFL won't be as easy, Austin has great field awareness and minimizes the hits.

EastRam recalling past nightmares:

To be fair to Az, there was just as big a chance he would fumble it after he caught it. He was a multidimensional punt returner. :help:

GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
