yeah I know another post but I went back to look at Tavons career numbers and it told a compelling story to me.
1. He played on a terrible team with an even terrible offensive scheme.
2. The offensive scheme was terrible
3. The offense stopped doing the things that actually worked.
Tavon had over 400 rushing yards in 2015 and 4 touchdowns on 52 carries
Then last year they only rush him 28 times don't make any sense
25 of his 58 catches went for first downs last year 6 plays of 20 yards or more only 1 play of 40 yards or more
Austin was never drafted just to be a WR but if he played on a better team or just had better offensive coaches around him his 12 receiving touchdowns would have been a lot better
Between receiving rushing and punt returns he has 23 touchdowns and 3900 yards let this sink in though he had at 8 touchdowns wiped away because of penalties he would have 7 punt returns for touchdowns instead of 3 he would have 10 rushing touchdowns instead of 8 he would have 14 receiving touchdowns instead of 12
Do I think Austin is a 14 touchdown receiver no he isn't but he can give 14 touchdowns in every phase of the game
