News: Marvin Austin still has a way to go as a player

[Aven8]

How is he not in football shape when he was with the Dolphins until October 15th?

I guess Miles will have to have his first name embroidered on his jersey now.

Why? He could put "A. Hitler" on there and nobody would notice since he's invisible even when he enters the lineup.

It's not football shape. It's stamina, which a lot of 300+ DTs have trouble with. I wouldn't be surprised if he sticks in this system and gets his weight down to 300.

Wow quick to jump the gun... Austin hasn't played much football, he needs to get in game shape.

 

[Section446]

If all he becomes is an average rotation guy, it was a good signing.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

We signed a bust. No shock he's a ways off from contributing.

Well... yeah.

Why not embroider Hamstring on his jersey?

which one?

 

[Hardline]

The risk to reward ratio makes this signing worth it. If he doesnt work out just cut him and have a new guy taking up his locker. No Biggie.

 

[CooterBrown]

He's officially changing his name to "Hamstring".

or "oucho hammo"

 

[bark]

or "oucho hammo"

Now thats funny right there

 

[Zekeats]

At least he has the right attitude.

Talk is cheap...........Dez used to talk the talk but he didn't arrive till he walked the walk. I hope this guy understands that and puts in the hard work too.

“@randywalker21: @BryanBroaddus Can we look for Marvin Austin to get significant snaps this Sunday?” Not in great shape to do that

 

[sacase]

Man some of ya'll just want this team and players to fail. I don't know how you can take a negative spin on that interview unless you are trying to our damnedest to look for something negative.

Dude basically said that he is not used to how the Cowboys practice and he has to get in better shape to feel comfortable practicing at that pace. That should tell volumes about this coaching staff and the intensity they have our guys working at in practice! He has the right attitude and appears to be up to the challenge.

I'm glad to hear he doesn't think he's in football shape.

That means our standard of football shape is more demanding than other teams.

Well done Rod M

 

[jazzcat22]

Looking at our schedule, we might not see much of him until after our bye week.

Other players were signed and played the next game. not sure what shape they were in, but seemed a few were basically off the street.

There is Miami shape and Dallas shape.

 

[jobberone]

There is Miami shape and Dallas shape.

I prefer the shape of say...Selma Hayek.

 

[OhSnap]

Maybe he can be ready in time for the Giants. Maybe he's late for some workouts and is working as a bouncer in December.

Oohhhhh, I love her. If she ever gave me the time of day.......my wife better worry. Salma in Dogma was at her peak IMO, absolutely gorgeous!
