Miles Austin

[WhizKid]

Sydney Rice in the first or Paul Williams in the third......

The fact is, that as good as these guys looked in preseason, when they had the chance in reg season they did little at all.

And there was one game that I thought Hurd got a bit of PT

I'm excited about Austin's potential too. I was really wanting us to draft him last April. Admittedly, I was wanting him over Colston (oops).

Austin has all the tools; size, speed, toughness. There's something to be said for developing a player. I certainly think he can develop into a major contributor....But like many others have said on here, it's a long shot.

I also take issue with those that immediately write him off as a nobody, or career special teamer. We don't know that any more than we know if he'll be a star receiver.

One thing we do know, is that he's a pretty good returner. Especially when you consider he'd not returned since high school.

I'm confident that Austin can develop....but am I so confident that I don't want to see us draft a WR? No.....

We need to draft a WR on the first day, IMO.

 

[Hoofbite]

I feel like this kid will be our future #1 WR.
There isnt much to his game i don't like from what i have seen.
Speed, Hands, Toughness.

I haven't seen him running that many routes so im not so sure how he is there, but Parcells said he has tremendous potential as a WR.

We are fine at WR IMO.

Owens 2 more years on his contract
Glenn should be here untill he retires
Crayton great #3 and is still pretty young
Austin
Hurd

we are fine

So what exactly have you seen? Other then returning kicks, he hasn't done a single thing. Did he even have 1 catch this season?

 

[The Realist]

For every Colston, there are 1000 undrafted guys blowing through like the wind (or a f*rt).

Colstons come once a generation.

Austin Miles is a dime a dozen.

Where were these guys drafted........

TJ How'syourmama

Donald Driver

Troy Brown

Keenan McCardell

Joe Horn

So much for once a generation.

Both looked good in preseason. what chance are you speaking of this season, niether one got any significant time with the O this year, so i think the jury is still out.

The better question would be how much time did Owens, Glenn, or Crayton miss this year?

You guys are dreaming....Crayton, Hurd, and Miles are what they are, Special teamers who will probably compete with each other for the position of #3 receiver.

Crayton is not #1 material...I think that's been made clear over the past couple of years. The #3 receiver, if he's very talented, should be open on just about every play.

Rector isn't a fresh new guy...he's been here and couldn't even dress this year...maybe he'll eventually be a punt returner and at best, a #3 when we need him.

Miles Austin has not played at WR either, but you project him as a #1 or #2 starter???

The only guy I hope may have the ability to be at least a #2 guy is Hurd, but that's only a hope....We are NOT okay or fine at WR...we are aging with no one pushing for playing time...unless you think these guys are legit players that we just got lucky on and Parcells is holding them back.

I have to pretty much agree with you.
Crayton could be a #2 with a great WR on the other side, ala Irvin / Harper.
Same with Hurd. Austin, if he keeps delveloping, could be a #3, but need to see him show it first, not just based on KR and ST's.
Fast does not cut it, remember Alexander Wright?
Rector, he hasn't made the cut yet, and has been in camp, what 2 years, and on the roster but not active this year. That is 3 years. We will get a WR in the draft before waiting another year. With Glenn, Owens, Crayton, Hurd, and if Austin being the KR/WR, we will draft a guy that replaces Rector.

Maybe you should at least get the Players name right before making assumptions.

it's Miles Austin.

and second Hostile, and Eddie you know wy they arent getting any playing time, and nobody else besides us fans know about him?

well im sure seattle fans know about him if you know what i mean

is that we have Two #1's at WR. with a great #3 in Crayton.

I Guarantee you if Colston was on our team, he would have very limited playing time, or none at all.

and what would people like you say? oh he is not a #1 or #2, nobody even heard of him.

see my point?

now lay off the crack

dont argue with them..they think there some kind of NFL experts..like they work with a scouting department or something...hes tryna sound smart...n if Miles was to burst out on the sceene as a number 1 Wide Out..n had a big year...hed be one the guys cheering, trash talking about how we got the best wideout n saying ignorant crap like "i always knew he could do it"....

anyways....i like what ive seen from Miles..in preseason...and regular games...preseason..he sshowed us he has hands...kick off returns we really got 2 see his his...he could very well develope into a starting reciever..maybe even great 1 day...

Hurd is another 1 i like....i love his hands..as we all saw in preseason..n the cards game were he started...n he has the the ability to out jump players n fight for the ball...as we saw in the redzone 1 time..and on a deep bomb during the houston texas game...

they both have the size...speed...n hands...to make it..we'll just have to watch n see

While Austin is a speed guy, I don't believe Hurd is.

Hurd's hand were OK in preseason but I would not go as far as to proclaim "he has hands"

Austin played very little in preseason, so little in fact that most were surprised that we kept him. Now, in hindsight it looks as if we were trying to hide him and put him on the practice squad (BP pretty much said that he was told by a few teams, that if they put him on the practice squad he would be gone).

But we have seen very little of Austin as a WR to make any kind of prediction on him!

Don't get me wrong, I like them both and hope they turn out great, but we have just not seen enough.

The better question? How So? If anything it just reinforces what I asked. Those guys missed no time so Austin got no time and as a result saying that he looks to be a #1 reciever is just a be premature, don't ya think?

I may have posted it 100 times already, but my view of Austin changed a lot once I went to a game and saw him in person in warmups. The guy looks like a real, true, legitimate starting NFL WR. He's got speed, but he's also fluid, can cut well enough to run good routes, catches the ball well (in his hands), and is plenty big. I was very impressed with him.

Sam Hurd, on the other hand, seems like more of a try-hard guy with limited athleticism. I admired how hard he was practicing, but I think he'll always be a fringe-type player.
