A quick note on Miles Austin
It seems that Miles Austin’s 10 catch, 250 yard, 2 touchdown day against the Kansas City Chiefs has earned him a place in the Dallas Cowboys’ Ring of Honor. I will proudly (and at the expense of readers) admit that I am one of the biggest Dallas Cowboys fans on this planet. My cause of death will almost certainly be extreme depression after one of their miserable performances. My point is that I desperately want this guy to become one of the greatest receivers in the history of great receivers. However, let’s tap the breaks a little before guaranteeing this guy a spot in Canton.
Miles had 1 monster game that wouldn’t have even been that amazing if he would have made some crucial catches earlier in the game. All those “told ya so” fans out there are full of crap! Austin had 5 catches, 81 yards, and 1 touchdown in the 4 games prior to the win in Kansas City. What exactly could any logical person have said about him prior to Sunday?
Let’s give him a few more games with his expanded role before we determine that he needs a 6 year extension and a new line of shoes.
