I'm sorry but if you don't win it for setting the most yards ever to go with 3 TD's for a rookie of the week award there's something wrong... I expected this, although, not until week 10 not so much, let's all hope as we make a run for the playoffs, Tavon can make a run for rookie of the year! :woot::woot::woot:

When he turns on his speed, he is just sooooo smmoth!. Doesn't even look as though he is running!. I hope he has learned that in the NFL it is 1-2 moves and GO. I think he was trying too hard to "juke" guys early on when it is SPEED that burns!

He looked SO fast last week, like he did in college.

This guy just needs to get his mojo working, then he will continue to make big plays. Remember the Denver game in preseason, he made that big return, then it looked like he was ready. But he lost his confidence somewhere early in the season, maybe because of the drops, but he finally has it back.

Let's hope now that Schotty has miraculously discovered intertwined crossing routes and pick plays, he runs 10 a game. This is all TA ever needed.

I take exception with the commonly repeated myth that he jukes too much. If you review every play he's made this season you'll see he only juked when he had nowhere to go and it often created openings. When he already had an opening he shot straight for it.

If Schotty had been getting him the ball in the open field like this and the penalties hadn't been crushing his big plays, his breakout game would have been game one IMHO.

The only rookie mistakes I see in his game are the drops. They are unacceptably high. Let's hope he corrects that.

Actually, you don't want to run them too often. Or at least run some variation of the same play. Run them too much and teams find ways to counter them; the play becomes predictable, and execution then must be perfect.

that's when you bring our other weapons into the game when they start keying in on Tavon

Probably quite obvious I certainly loved hearing that song in the background. That was some game for him and Rams fans. Hopefully he becomes a staple in your offense. Stedman too.
