Miles Austin is the steal of the draft

[Dallas_Empire 0]

Miles austin is good for 800 yards and 7-8 TDs Crayton wont be the #2 guy regardless of what is said now. Trust me, i know the cowboys. Miles austin is younger and faster than crayton and also taller. He is the go to speed guy for dallas and romo loves throwing deep to him. Mark my words, Miles Austin starts along side Roy Williams this season. Crayton is not fast enough to be truly effective as a #2 and he is more suited to the slot. In many mocks Austin goes undrafted.

Someone listens to the local radio show in Dallas...The Ticket. Babe Laufenberg was on there saying this practically verbatim. I give you props on making a fantasy call though...he didn't do that.

I did hear that segment on the ticket today, but babe said he could not say who would win that battle between crayton and austin.

 

I already made this decision months ago. Have you ever seen crayton burn someone deep? Now, how many times has austin gone deep on a talented CB? Austin is a young burner. Much bigger upside instead of that 40 yards a game and no TDs crayton seems to offer.

I rode the Terry Glenn express a few years ago when he had back to back 1000 yards seasons. It is nice getting a solid #2 fantasy wr from the waiver wires. Austin is that guy this year for me.

[jjarch86 0]

You think he is going to put up solid WR2 fantasy numbers? I understand he MIGHT win out the job from Crayton, but being the second WR for a team doesn't necessarily translate to WR2 in fantasy value. For fantasy value I see him as a reach for WR3 and more than likely just a fill in when there is a good match up...this is all assuming he gets the spot and even moves from the slot.

 

Regardless, I like Austin and hope he does well. Just not sure about the WR2 Koolaid just yet.

800 yards and 7-8 is solid wr 2 in 12 team leagues that start 3 wrs.

agreed. Just not sure he is there yet or will be. Who knows though...maybe Babe...and you...are right.

Miles Austin gets hurt more than Sam Hurd does. You'll be lucky to get 12 games out of him, he's brittle. And I'm not sold on the Romo to Roy connection yet and at this point the only pass catcher to own until they prove otherwise is Witten.

Keep thinking that. Guys like you are why I am getting Williams so cheap. He is a 1000 yard 10 TD guy. Love romo or hate, he is a quality NFL Qb and top think he cant succeed with williams is insane.

 

Miles austin has had some injury bad luck lately. he is fully healthy. If he gets hurt this year then I would tend to agree with you but he is primed for a solid season now. Romo lost an old 35 year old T.O. and haters think the world has fallen apart.

Even if Miles is the #2 WR for the Cowboys he is going to be the #4 or #5 target:

 

Last Year:

J.Whitten-81 rec

T.O.-69 rec (now R.Williams)

M.Barber-52 rec

T.Choice-21 rec

Total rec-223

 

Romo-276 completions

Johnson-41 completions

Total completions-317

 

That leaves 94 receptions for the rest of the team. I could see the WR2(Miles)/F.Jones/Slot WR(Crayton) all splitting the rest. I really don't see the 4 guys above getting fewer receptions and I doubt the Cowboys throw as much this season and certainly not more.

 

I think Miles will for sure be a big deep threat and used to spread the field but I see his stats more like 35/600/4. Miles is not T.Glenn. I think the Cowboys will be more balanced this year and would be suprised if they reached 300 completions this season.

 

Just my opinion but if you are taking Miles for anything more than a WR4 or depth you may be disappointed.

romo was out three games and that philly game at the end of the season had no stats because the starters were pulled. you are using stats from 12 games for romo instead of 16. Austin is a bench fantasy player for me with huge upside. He is undrafted in alot of mocks and I am fine with him on my bench as a 4th or 5th wr at the start of the season. he will get 700-800 yards and 7-8 Tds.

You may know a little about the cowboys...but you are absolutely clueless about football and the NFL...so I pretty much pass on advice you give.

Roy is a 1000 yard 10 TD guy?

Since when?

Considering he has never been a 10 TD guy and only broke 1000 yards once.

And his whopping stats in 10 games for Dallas last year were not showing that either were they?

He could do it...but its hardly any lock for it.

 

Witten is the only top receiving target to own there.

Roy is a #2 FF WR right now.

[NewbieJr 541]

If Austin doesn't outproduce Roy Williams, he's going to suck. Because Roy Williams sucks.

[Kent 228]

Agreed. Roy is simply never a player you reach for. Too much bust potential.

Roy is the #1 wr for ROmo. I think that deserves a roster spot and roy will get 1000 and 10 at least.

So has roy williams ever had a top QB to throw to him? Hard to put up stats on a team that sucks offensively and a scrub QB.

Calvin Johnson did it...Then again, Roy Williams isn't even close to Calvin's talent.

In 6 seasons, Roy broke 1,000 yards 1 time and never broke 8 td's. Calvin broke 1,000 yards and had 12 td's in his second season. 12 td's > 8 td's

 

You argued that Roy never had a top QB throwing to him, but then say he's had as good a season as Calvin...I don't see it.

don't bother, you're wasting your time. trying to reason with dullass empire is like trying to convince someone you're dating a porn star for her mind...just ain't happening. i believe there are at least a few coherent thoughts in his head, but by the time they come out on the board or out of his mouth they've been twisted and rose colored by homerism. Roy Williams had one 1000 yrd season and has never put more than 8 TD. The guy is a physical freak but he's a soft player. That season he had nothing in Detroit, he WAS the offense and still barely get 1000 yrds. He will NEVER be a prolific TD guy like TO and if Dallas doesn't run their trio of backs this year until their feet fall off then the coaching staff are even bigger idiots than we all think they are currently. Here's my breakdown of the Cowboys skill players:

• Romo: decent stats, drop off in TD's, no 2nd WR to throw to, focus on the running game, more than likely a 6-10 FF QB rank at season end but likely a top 5 QB pricetag.
  
• Witten: top TE in the league, only problem is that you have pay top TE price to get him.
  
• Roy Williams: Likely a 15-20 ranked WR, which is about what he's going for most likely. He'll be doing well to be a #1 WR (top 10-12) at season end but it's not probable. WR2 at late WR1 price.
  
• Miles Austin: Move on...he's not Terry Glenn...hell he's not even assured of passing Craptric Crayton.
  
• Craptric Crayton: they traded for soft Roy Williams because this guy wasn't getting it done as a #2 on their team, what changed now???
  
• 3-headed RB platoon: If any one of these guys gets 60% of the carries on the season he's a stud, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

I'm sorry, but aren't you the guy who emphatically predited that the Cowboys would beat the Eagles in Week 17 last year? Didn't they lose by like 44-6? Am I now to consider your 2009 Cowboy predictions reliable?

 

Just sayin'............

44-6. I forgot about that. Bwahahahaha!!!

 

44-6

 

 

And, yes. He promised to leave and never come back, remember? He had a bet with someone. He lost the bet and stayed away exactly one day. Not only is he unintelligent, he's a moocher as well. Can't even keep his word.

[traders2001 0]

800 yards and 7-8 is solid wr 2 in 12 team leagues that start 3 wrs.

 

 

Except that the WR #1 on the Cowboys is nt even a WR#2 fantasy wise.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Roy still does not have a top QB to throw to him...he has Tony Romo.

[Sho Nuff 720]

Roy has never put up with Calvin did last year.

 

EVER!!!

 

And Roy had Romo for 10 games last year and did what?

[NewbieJr 541]

But he didn't have the benefit of having the September-Romo throwing to him. We all know how awesome Romo is in the early, non-pressure games.

Don't forget Martellus Bennett. 20 catches, 283 yards, 4 TD's last year. The kids got talent and he prooved to be a real asset in the passing game last year. He won't be denied his chances. I can see more 2 TE sets with Witten/Bennett, then Roy and Crayton on the edges.

Bennett should develop into a real threat this season. they were moving him around to fullback, split out, slot, etc. in OTA's. and he seems like he has a good head on his shoulders.

 

i think Austin is worth a flyer at the end of a draft. but he's proven nothing because he's routinely hurt. Crayton, at least, has proven he can stay on the field. as a fan i'd love to see Austin break out this yr. but i'll believe it when i see it.

my bad on leaving out MartyB, the former Aggie and mouthpiece of the Cowboys. You're absolutely right, and I also see a lot ball control, 2 TE sets coming. he has a LOT of skill and if by chance Witten goes down for a bit, he will be an absolutely valuable ww pickup. thanks for catching my oversight Jarvis.

I agree. I can see more ball control also. Their offense changes now without TO but it may not be that bad of a change. They have the OL for it, they have the TE's for it, and Roy/Crayton are adequate WR's with Austin coming on in the slot and stretching the field. It could be a nice mix.

 

If Romo slides in my FF draft I'll strongly consider him because I still believe they'll throw a lot in the red zone. Dallas loves to throw in the red zone, plus they've got big targets all over the field to do it and Romo's good at buying time with his feet.
