Tavon Austin contract details

[dallasdave]

I'm cautiously optimistic that under a new offensive coordinator that he might actually be the multi-purpose weapon that was talked about last year.

• Punt returner
• Part-time speed receiver
• "Web back", used in the slot, out of the backfield, or in the beloved Jet Sweep

And this guy had over 500 yards of offense in one game in college

Wow! I did not know that.

I hope not. In fact, I think this team needs to use a lot more pre-snap motion. The rest of the league is doing it and we need to follow suit. It gives the defense a bit of a pause and something to think about and that's always an advantage for an offense.

Misdirection works.

Wow! I did not know that.

He got tons of yards per game as WR,RB, KR, and PR Look up some of his old WVU games -----TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Thanks for sharing that my friend!

The Cowboys really need to use him in the backfield more.

Cowboys got a Cobb n Tavon for less than a Beasely.

Tavon's contract leaves the door wide open for a WR to be drafted.

Speaking of that contract... that's a PR'er contract, Cobb is all alone right now as the slot.

Yeah rushing for 344 yards in that game , shows he can play RB

He's a weapon. I'm still surprised that a creative mind like McVay gave up on trying to find a way to use him. Maybe the contract was just too much? I don't know.

I hope they plan on using him more with a prove-it deal like that.

Yeah this deal will give Austin a chance to prove himself and give the Cowboys a cheap look see.
