Twitter: Cowboy view Tavon Austin as RB

[robjay04]

Exactly what I thought. He will not have much of an impact on the WR Depth chart.

he carried a lot for the rams,we have a way better oline and if he sees a hole he is gone.

Rpo is deadly now.

Yes, as I posted in another thread, he had 59 rushes with a 6.7 average in 2017 but only 22 receiving targets.

3rd down passing situation player.

Run the draw or get him space on a short pass and let him RAC.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

We should know. We had a horrible time stopping him as a rb last year.

 

[Doomsday]

Too bad he is a scrub in reality

 

[OmerV]

Looked it up and found he was a big time RB in high school and put up huge numbers. Was converted to WR in college.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Interesting. He can be used all over the formation— and in motion from RB would definitely stress out some defensive alignments

 

[TonyS]

I like this move. If used correctly, he can add another dimension to our O that was inexcusably lacking last year.

Don't really want a finesse back on 3rd and short

 

[Zekeats]

Rams coaches couldnt figure how to use him but Garrett will?

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Nice.

I doubt Zeke leaves the field for 3rd and short...

Keywords always used in Dallas ... “Position Flex” ... barf

 

[Aviano90]

So I'm guessing he'll get about 2 touches a game?

why would you ever think he would be in the game in that situation?

 

[ghst187]

LOVE the trade for Austin. Always great to add speed, of which we have very little. Hope to see us actually use him effectively

I like that idea.
