Gadget plays for opening up running lanes and space for Zeke

[waldoputty]

take a look at this video of austin's highlights.
yes these are highlights, but the potential impact is obvious.
ignore the special team touchdowns and focus on wr/bubble screens, jet sweeps and other sweeps.

these plays and fakes off these plays - bubble screens, jet sweeps and other sweeps - were causing defenses a lot of issues.
as of early november, analysts were talking about how the rams figured out how to maximize gurley and austin

there were stats that showed austin had a big impact on gurley's performance.
after a few games, Todd Gurley getting 8.1 yards/carry when Tavon Austin is jet-sweeping, compared with 3.3 when he's not.

why would the rams release him if he was important to scheme?
i am still trying to figure it out.
it seems gurley is sorry to see austin go, though many rams fans were not...

Just hold on to the ball please.

 

[waldoputty]

Just hold on to the ball please.

dont let him return punts

Tavon Austin:

The poor man’s Lance Dunbar + Lucky Whitehead’s jet-sweep gimmick + Ryan Switzer’s one-hop punt returns + DeMarco Murray’s fumbles.

Four HOF talents in one...now THAT’S position-flex!

unlike dunbar, he stays healthy.
unlike whitehead, he is not a head case
unlike switzer, he runs a 4.3
his fumbles come on punt returns.

You spent three 1sts and a 2nd on your OL to open up running lanes.

I'd save the gadgets for trying to get the ball to your WR corps.

 

[CF74]

Speed is always a positive addition to your arsenal, hoping to see more bubble screens...

 

[SlammedZero]

Yeah it was an interesting addition to the team. Don't think it hurts. We could use a guy that can "scare" defenses with his speed and I would say he is a quick little mofo!

It's funny how alot of fans call austin a bust but lack a single clue on his whole purpose! Nice vid

Take out the "poor man" because those guys combined cant match tavons talents.

 

[AmericasTeam81]

Tavon Austin will be a “life changer” for our offense and us fans.

 

[GenoT]

unlike whitehead, he is not a head case
unlike switzer, he runs a 4.3
his fumbles come on punt returns.

We’ll see, won’t we?

 

[GenoT]

Which is why the Rams gave up on him...right?

Please NO, no gadget plays. I'd like you to show me how many problems Lucky and Switzer caused defenses on jet screens. Please!!!

 

[Jipper]

You don't need gadget plays to open running lanes when you have the best oline in the nfl....which we do

 

[rkell87]

I think we all know about the Dunbar role, we make fun but he was effective for us minus fumbles. I think we are going to use Austin more than Dunbar and to greater affect. I think he could have a Jahvid Best or Giovanni Bernard type of impact with the ball. His greatest use for us however, will be reading the D with him in motion and probably taking a defender out of the Box alleviating some of the wear and tear that happens running into a stacked front over and over.

No the rams dont have the same intentions as the cowboys that's why.

See what I mean! Not a single clue that some fans have.

lucky did better than switzer
switzer only runs a 4.51 in combine
there is a reason austin was picked up

dunbar cannot stayed healthy but he was effective when healthy
