indeed!!!!

He's not the WR I had hoped for...but that's why we have Watkins, Woods, Kupp, Reynolds, etc....
TA is a very unique gadget player that has shown he can score 10 TDs in many different ways WR/RB/PR.
That is valuable.

Any player can be stopped/schemed out of an offense by a good DC....that's why having multiple and diverse threats make for a great attack. I think the Rams offense is leaning towards that strategy. imo

You probably heard me say this. I was advocating the Austin pick in 2013, and I was saying then that I didn't think he was a WR. Not in any pure sense. So we differ this way: you say he was not the WR you hoped for, and I never thought he was a WR.

He;s a guy who can do various kinds of plays, some better than anyone else, so what you do is scheme him all over the field and get him with the ball in space. Runs, sweeps, reverses, screens, catches out of the backfield, downfield throws.

As you say it;s added pressure on a defense.

As you basically say, you don't need every player on the field to fit a predetermined position role. If you have a unique player who can score like that no matter where you line him up, then, you use him.
