I'm having a come-to-Jesus-moment about Eric Davis tonight, which may cause the forfeiture of my Ram's Fan card, but the guy agrees with me....lol.
Davis was asked about Austin, and he said what I have always said, Austin is a gadget guy and not a #1 WR. "Forget the Desean Jackson comparisons, because he's a freak." He his not Darren Sproles who is much thicker and sturdier. Austin is a very fast guy with straight speed, but is that worth when he gets hit by a defensive player? When teams see Tavon enter the game, they think a gadget play is coming. "Tavon is an excellent returner...he's like a pinball" and is dangerous that way.
Now if Gurley gets unleashed, this makes Austin more dangerous...which we already know. He has to get gameplanned into the open, according to Davis.
So Davis is dubious about McVay's idea of making Austin into the deep threat WR....
