You draft Tavon Austin to have a matchup nightmare. ANYWHERE on the field. You can take advantage of this by putting him in motion. Something he can do from any position on the field. He can do it all, and you must use him as such, even as a decoy. If not you're wasting his talent and therefor the value of our pick. He needs to be a MAJOR part of this offense.
How not to use Tavon Austin... Strictly on end around and a handful of gadget plays originally designed for Chris Johnson when Fisher was in Tennessee. A single carry out of the backfield, every 3 games. They also get content with him. He hits one big play and Schotty shies away as if he's done his job with Austin that game, and now he can go back to the normal offense.
I've watched the tape on Austin too. Trust me, we did not waste a pick no this kid. There was times he was missed completely open. He progressed great as the season went along too.
The truth of it is though, nothing will change. However, I do think that we still will get enough big plays with him on STs and just with him at WR. We won't come near utilizing his full potential again though.
