PARK RIDGE, NJ
After the bye week
Miles Austin will have had basically half a season to rest his hamstring. Do you see him being explosive and helping to ignite the offense in his return?
David: I don’t think “explosive” is the word I’d use, given Austin’s history with injuries, but I absolutely think he can be effective and open up the field for the rest of the offense. Even if he’s only finishing with 70-or-so yards, as he did in the season opener, it should be enough to create space for the other guys running routes.
Jason Witten had only the third two-touchdown game of his career that night, if you’ll remember. My biggest concern with Austin is if he’s actually 100 percent and ready to contribute, which we won’t find out for sure until the game kicks off.
Rowan:I think he’ll be a welcomed addition to the offense, but I’m hesitant to say he’ll come back and be explosive. We just don’t know how he’ll feel or how he’ll be used at this point. We don’t know if it’ll be like it was to start the year, because at that point neither
Terrance Williams nor
Cole Beasley had emerged. I think his ability to work the middle of the field will provide a spark, because he’ll get a ton of single coverage. If he can provide what he did against the Giants to start the year, that’d be a huge boost for the offense.
