LinderFournette Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 If there was ever a coach who could make Austin valuable Urban's the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Wow. That's a very interesting acquisition. It will be fun to see what Urban does with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably true. Who do you think will last longer: Treadwell or Austin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts Treadwell has been one of the best 5-6 WRs in camp for sure. So… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 This one seems weird to me. Basically a backup to Etienne 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a backup to Etienne You mentioning this makes me feel better about it lol. I figured maybe it means that the kick return game wasn’t doing well and they were trying him out there. But a backup to someone who’s gonna have plays schemed up just for him isn’t terrible, especially just to make sure that everyone can run those concepts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 I mean Chark was banged up and missed practice and apparently a lot of the other guys like Camp, Agnew, etc. have missed time. Sounds like it’s just due to depth issues/healthy bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 If he’s cheap why not? Demps, Rainey, and Hardin coexisted...or do I have my timeline messed up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite frankly, it’d be pretty smart to have a guy kicking around who can at least kinda stand-in for those sort of concepts through camp-preseason workload. You can’t have Etn doing it all himself, but you still want to be able to evaluate other personnel in those sort of situations for other depth roles and stuff. If it’s going to be as significant a part of the offense as a 1st round pick premium would insinuate. Also doesn’t hurt to have a guy kicking around who is familiar with the concepts, that you can float on/off the roster in-season if he were to get banged up and even just need a limited practice schedule some weeks. At least hopefully that’s the reasoning. And not just Urban being infatuated with the phenomenal weapon Tavon Austin was in college and thinking that’ll apply here for some reason. Lol.
