What do we do with Tavon Austin when he comes back?

[8FOR!3]

Look at how he was used in college. Look at how the Bears use Cohen. See if we can find a place for him, he may be a potential Beasley replacement next year if we can't pay Beasley.

Our passing game is stacked and Austin is another deep threat dimension.

Anything Austin gives is a bonus. Dude has been overhyped his entire NFL career.

 

[Floatyworm]

Well....since we don't have a QB that can throw the deep ball...he basically is gonna be a decoy. Maybe use him for bubble screens. I don't trust him as a RB...that is for sure.

 

[Clove]

Put Gallup & Austin on the outside and run Amari in the slot sometimes. Can you imagine Amari and Austin lined up next to each other with one going deep, Gallup would be open all day long, so will Beasley. And by the way, I'm proud of Jarwin & Schultz tonight, they were "dare I say" pretty dang good.

Use Tavon to spell Zeke for a break. Use him like how the Eagles use Sproles.

True. No point in resigning him this offseason

Austin can run and go deep. It makes him a better complement on run downs than a small possession wr like Beasley.

 

[ItzKelz]

Hope Im wrong but I dont think Austin will be back this season. Best case maybe the playoffs.

 

[chagus]

Play him.

No
Tavon is no Sproles, and even further south of Cohen,, why are people placing Tavon in that comparison.. I don't get it.
Tavon is a one trick pony,, he is not a RB,, lol
He is what he is,, small WR with speed,, quit trying to make him an NFL worthy scat back.

#'s 45&49 even got their obligatory "moment"

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Hard to believe we're saying this now after the way the season started. The acquisition of Cooper and development of Gallup changed everything.

Our young TEs are drveloping too.

Guess Garrett is gonna stop attempting to drag Witten out of retirement now lol.

 

[nobody]

Linehan will play with his toy.

Except Linehan is one of the worst Red Zone OC's in the league, it seems.

 

[fifaguy]

probably put him in on punt returns so he can fair catch it instead of Beasley

 

[fairviewfarmer]

If Beasley walks in FA, I suppose Tavon may pick up some snaps in his place next year. fwiw, I would rather keep Beasley. The Cooper trade simply made tavon an after thought.

 

[conner01]

Don't forget Cooper is a terrific slot receiver. No idea if he's up to speed to play that here yet, but perhaps.

I do hope that Austin's speed would be something we could utilize, if nothing else as a decoy. I can't say I have much confidence that Linehan will use him as such.

Cooper could play the slot and has lined up inside a few times but I put cooper where ever cooper wants to be
The way he’s playing I trust him over our OC

Jet sweeps

 

[joshjwp]

Send him on a go route every play just to run one safety out of the play underneath.
