...we all know about the third and 11 play where Austin went inside when it seems he should've gone outside, allowing Bailey the INT...but another play in the fourth quarter irks me as well...and this assessment should be a sobering reminder that while Austin had a whale of a game against the Chiefs he still has a lot to learn as a wideout...the little things...
...13:40 to play 4th quarter ....3rd and 7 on Dal 33
Formation: S11 with Witten as an H-back?...Williams wide left...Crayton slot left...Austin wide right...Barber as the RB
.........................#55

...Broncos are showing blitz with all LB's on the LOS except for ILB D.j. Williams #55, whom it seems Romo is pointing at as the "mike" pre-snap...
...Romo must be thinking Williams will blitz, sending one man more than the protection can handle because he never looks left for either RW or Crayton...
...the question then becomes does Austin see it?...Bailey is playing off with inside technique, undoubtedly knowing that Williams will shoot the A-gap and attack Romo...Bailey probably does'nt mind if Austin takes himself out of the play flying outside...a pattern, incidentally, that takes too long to develop...the route Austin must run is to the inside and IF he runs a good route he can catch this ball on Bailey IF Romo is accurate enough...two big ifs but you get the point...
...put simply, it is a race between D.J. Williams getting to Romo and Austin getting to the area he is vacating...but Austin never breaks off the route, instead flying outside of Bailey and the ball lands curiously where Austin should've been...the Cowboys go 3 and out...
...as far as Garrett is concerned...it probably is'nt a good idea to go after a pro-bowler like Bailey...you won't make a living throwing at him...as the Cowboys found out...
