McVay has a system, like all coaches, and Tavon has to run it....he couldn't.
I don't agree. I dont think McV was ever interested in using Tavon to his fullest and the fact that TA just fell behind compounded it.
If you look at Tavon's career he can do more than run deep crosses. In prior years he regularly did things before McV just didn't ask him to do. If you look at this vid, excluding the special teams plays, there are a variety of different passes in here. As the highlights get into 2017 that dramatically decreases. Tavon did those things before McV and he will in Dallas too.

from Cowboys’ Scott Linehan calls ‘web-back’ Tavon Austin a ‘receiver first’[
www.star-telegram.com]
Tavon Austin has been described as a “web back” for the Dallas Cowboys. But offensive coordinator Scott Linehan spoke more about how he envisions utilizing Austin in the offense next season.
“We can use him for a lot of things. He’s a receiver first,” Linehan said from the Cowboys’ rookie minicamp on Saturday.
“He’s really, in a lot of ways, some of his skill set is as an outside receiver, which is really unique. But he can move around [to the] slot. He can certainly have carries as well as catches from those positions.
“He can move into the backfield at times. He’s done that his whole career. He can move into the backfield and hopefully get a matchup where he can run a route that’s typically run by a running back.”
