I thought Austin is/will be a RB?
Austin is intriguing
Don’t see the RB thing working because there is no threat to actually run between the tackles with his size and fumble issue
It could force defenses to protect the edges since he could run outside or swing out for a pass, that could open up some things for others
He may line up in the backfield but he’s no RB
Will he line up there some with Zeke? That could be interesting because with his edge speed you couldn’t stack the box or you risk the edge
He is an interesting player but limited

Put some safety glasses on, becasue it is ugly.

With the way that we run the ball we are not going to be put into many third and longs. Running the ball also helps score in the RZ. Dak is going to have all day to throw the ball but it really all comes down to him. They are setting him up to succeed.

For my money the OL and RB corps is gorgeous.

Yea, see him as that niche 3rd down back/on the field with Zeke to do that sweep thing.
Hoping they do a lot of quick passes to him in open space

It’s a low risk gamble that you can find a way to get him the ball in space and let him run
I don’t see much downside in the deal
I do hope we don’t think he is the answer as a returner though
