....2011 Evaluation: When healthy, Austin was a playmaker for the Cowboys, but his recurring hamstring injuries made him undependable. Austin tweaked the hamstring three different times, missing all or part of eight regular season games, as well as much of training camp.
Bryant led the receiving corps in catches, with 63, and hauled in nine touchdowns. Late in the game in third down situations, he had big grabs against the Redskins (twice) and the Cardinals to give kicker Dan Bailey a chance for winning field goal attempts. While his athleticism allowed him to win a number of one-on-one battles with cornerbacks, Bryant also picked up a better understanding of the offense, showing a greater ability to recognize coverages and adjust the same way as Romo. Still, his knowledge of the offense is a work in progress, and he needs a productive offseason as much as anyone.
After catching only four touchdowns in four injury-plagued seasons of his own, Robinson became a red zone security blanket for Romo, consistently displaying the ability to get himself open when the quarterback scrambled. It remains to be seen whether the play of the receiver priced him out of the Cowboys' market, though.
Beyond the top three guys, the club's other receivers got only limit opportunities to catch the football, though they took advantage of them more often than not...
