The reason I consider Tavon Austin to be less of a player than, say, Antonio Brown, Rob Gronkowski, or Ezekiel Elliot, is that those players impact games every time they step on the fiel

Yeah and not clear why that's an issue. I mean, no one expects Tavon to be Brown or Gronkowski. It's also true that every other DT in the league should not shoot themselves out of shame because they're not Aaron Donald. Either way no one on the Rams offense is or will be Brown or Gronkowski, so I hope none of them get into the suicide from shame issue. cool smiley

But in any event, I said all along Tavon was not and would not be a pure receiver. He's a different kind of thing. So I personally don't have any broken expectations. My line on Tavon is, use him to do what he does, but if you expect him to be something else, chances are that it just won't work.
