Tavon Austin isn’t Isaiah Hodgins. He’s, arguably, the most electric college player ever. He has talent. The question for him is.. Is he washed?.. or is there still potential for him to be unlocked in this Offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Glass half full for some people on this board is hoping that a player is cut in 2 weeks instead of 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m honestly surprised people are talking this guy up but like I said, this is the same board where fans actually thought those Jauron led teams had a shot to compete for the division 😅 All I am saying is that if he's ever going to realize his potential it's going to be with Josh Allen.

Everyone should realize, like you do, that 2022 is just like the Jauron era. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsShredder83 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: Crowder is going to be an upgrade from Beasley, IMO... Beasley's top 4 years prior to coming here were: 833 yards 672 yards 536 yards 420 yards Crowder's top 4 seasons were: 847 yards 833 yards 789 yards 699 yards Crowder also averages a full yard more per catch than Beasley does(11.3 to 10.3) The biggest difference in ability, is availability. Beasley was a warrior, always out there. Seems like crowder has injury bug, let's hope our state of art facility/staff makes a difference for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason why they have always been in the top 5 fewest man games lost to injury since McD has been here Edited June 16, 2022 by Big Turk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played on the packers in 2020 and couldn’t do jack ***** with Rodgers. Again I’m just confused why people expect anything significant out of this dude. No one is expecting. Just intrigued and not outright dismissing the possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those same people have been talking about how OJ Howard looks meh. They aren’t just saying nice things because they’re on the Bills. They’re saying nice things because he’s looked good in OTA’s. Some are drinking the offseason koolaid. Some posters are doing what they always do, poop on the koolaid drinkers. It’s a vicious cycle kept alive by you.

Nobody is expecting him to be a key contributor though. Diggs is WR1 Davis is WR2 Crowder is the Slot Knox is TE1 Singletary is RB1 Cook is RB2/WR We’re now six deep in contributors before we get to a point where, maybe, Tavon Austin can carve out a role if he makes the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Junction Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 1 hour ago, ScottLaw said: He played on the packers in 2020 and couldn’t do jack ***** with Rodgers. He wasn’t asked to. He wasn’t even on their roster to start the season. He was signed after being IR’d by the 49ers who released him with an injury settlement halfway through the season. The Packers picked him up to return kicks and punts as their returner went to IR…. I’m not expecting much from the guy as a receiver at this point of his career. If he can reliably field kicks, avoid turf monster fumbles, and keep Hyde from being McD’s safety blanket that’ll do. Anything extra is a bonus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extrahammer Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Austin was signed to fill in the role Sanders was playing, the upside is he's a few years younger and has more speed. I think he makes the team over Kumerow. He's looked good in practices the last few days. Edited June 17, 2022 by extrahammer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen turned Beasley into a first team All Pro Additionally, Austin came into the league right before offenses really embraced the pre snap movement/shuffle pass throws (think how we use McKenzie) that have become so popular, and that style suits his skill set. If Austin was just entering the league again, I think he’d see more success and be utilized more effectively. That doesn’t mean it will work out here though, but as you said, working with Josh Allen is about as good of a chance as he can get. Also, if you watch his interview, the guy has such a great mindset and perspective on football and his career. Great for the locker room. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only week-one of the longest, five and a half week, black hole of the offseason before training camp. Buckle up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
