It doesn't change if you head west.If you live in STL you better off buying your seafood and cooking it yourself. Or paying 4 times the price at a good restaurant! Rather cook my own! Off topic, fer sure!

I actually think Bailey is going to fill the DA role. I think Tavon is a guy you move around to exploit defenses in a different way. DA - like I see Bailey - was a Mr. Reliable kind of guy. Quick to get to spots and great hands. Tavon is that guy who you design gimmick plays for and do whatever you can to give him a little space so he can totally burn the other team.Tavon Austin and the pressure of him to fill Amendola's role during his rookie season was a bit too much IMO. This offseason, I believe he'll have the time to really learn how to play the slot and be able to read coverages and thus adjust to them He'll be able to read defenses and adjust his route to the defense just like Amendola could do, and thus become a really reliable WR who can make plays on a consistent bases. I wonder how big a role his height will play into playing the slot, but next year should be a real indication of what he can truly do as a WR IMO.
Your thoughts mirror mine on TA exactly. To use him effectively, they should line him up everywhere, X, Y, Z and even RB.I actually think Bailey is going to fill the DA role.

yep.Your thoughts mirror mine on TA exactly. To use him effectively, they should line him up everywhere, X, Y, Z and even RB.
yea i really like the idea of ta at rb. what does the df do then take out a lb if they do we run it . if they don't then we have a lb covering ta out of the back field
I guess the problem I have with that is that I just don't see him being fully utilized within the containment area of a defense. Danny was rarely used on plays other than those needed to move the chains. On rare occasions? Sure. But I really don't think crisp routes are his thing and that was Danny's forte and I really think that is Bailey's forte as well.Well I guess I disagree with you guys a little bit on his role. Yea I agree he should be used for gadget plays, but I mean how many gadget plays can a team possibly come up with to really use him consistently? I personally think he'll use his speed in the slot to quickly get open (kind of like Amendola) to help Bradford out in the pocket. He'll be more familiar with defenses next year (if he studies, which I'm sure he will) and he'll be able to dictate his route depending on what the defense does, just like Amendola used to do all the time (probably why Bradford loved to throw to him so much). Only thing is he's much more quicker and faster then Amendola which is SCARY, but he is shorter then him... Which is my only concern with him and I just hope it doesn't hinder him much because I personally think he can replace Amendola's role next year given the proper time this offseason to really focus on studying defenses rather then trying to just learn the playbook. Idk how tough it'll be to get someone who's 5'8 the football consistently on the shorter passes (because of the QB trying to find him over the OL and trying to find someone who's that short).
That's how I personally envision him, with of course his fair share of runs to trick the defense. He otta improve next year if he really tries, which he seems like the case because he seems to want to get better.
With that said I still wouldn't mind drafting a player of Watkins or Evans ability. Both bring there talents to the table we can use (Evans needs to get faster! He would be so complete if he were faster!!!)
