Well, look at what he did last year. He basically picked right up where he left off. And for all the times he was wide open, it wasn't because of blown coverages every time. He runs great routes and gets himself wide open.
Maybe so. I'm just being a tool and judging people on flashy plays which I never see from him. I just think it's insane that he's been in the league for so many years and just now is starting to perform.

I'd agree with this. I would also agree with Malcom that I haven't seen him make real athletic grabs or have show-off the best hands. But he consistently gets separation. There is something to be said for that. His QB can count on the fact that Austin will give him something to work with.
I was hoping he was just a flash in the pan, but I don't think so. I think he is going to be good for a long time. I also think Bryant is going to be a pain in our ass for a long time, once he gets up to speed. He looks like a big strong guy. The two of them will complement each other well.

Hall, Rackpo, and Williams for playing a good game against one of the best in his first start.

Big and strong for sure, but man, why did they keep trying to do speed routes for him? He doesn't seem to be the shiftiest or fastest guy out there...

Umm, the last catch he had was behind him...he was open but that was a great catch.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like he is such a flash-in-the-pan. Sure, he had however many receiving yards and a lot of that is good route-running, but he was always WIDE FREAKING OPEN. I didn't see any crazy, one-handed grabs and what bothers me the most about him is that it's not like he just figured out how to play football. How many years has he been in the league?
You know who made crazy one handed catches? Brandon Lloyd. You know who was always open and was a great route-runner? Jerry Rice
I'm not sayin...I'm just sayin

But to get back to the point of the thread. TW and Orakpo. TW absolutely rocked Ware 99% of the game. The Dallas offensive line could have gotten like 1230912380129 more calls for holding on Orakpo.

He's only 26.
He was an undrafted free agent who was buried on the depth chart, but once he got his chance he took advantage of it.

Yea there is no doubt anymore, Austin is fantastic. They are loaded at WR, even Roy Williams looked decent.. Now we have to face a high powered Texans team
