Big Smiles For Miles Austin

Miles Austin- Miles Ahead Of His Peers

Miles Austin, many believed has come out of nowhere. This year however it seems like something happened after missing a pass by Tony Romo that led to an interception on national television. You could see Romo explaining to Austin that he was to continue with the route.It was a route that was cut off by Austin that cause the problem. But, since then Miles Austin not only has gotten the route down he has scored a touchdown in almost every game since that time.He has been elevated to the number 2 receiver position, although he performing like the number one guy.

What's so shocking about this is that Miles Austin has been playing for the Dallas Cowboys for 4 years. But, not too many people have even heard the name. At this point in the season after 6 games he has 26 catches for 563 yards and 6 touchdowns. Most of these numbers have come in the last 3 games. This is absolutely amazing. Is it really? If we go back to last years we can see that Miles Austin was coming on, but injuries slowed him down. Although, he only had 13 catches for 278 yards his average per catch was 21.4 yards. That just slightly below his 21.7 yard a catch this year.

I have always been a Miles Austin fan. I could see the talent. He's a leaper and he has speed. He is in the mode of a Randy Moss and Terrell Owens. He has Moss's ability to leap up and get the ball. He also has Moss's speed. But, his ability to gain yards after the catch is definitely a T.O trait. If he stays healthy he will be the number 1 receiver. I won't say that he is going to be one of the great one,although he looks awfully good right now.I'll just say that he is miles ahead of his peers in Big D.The rest of the receiver are definitely going to have to step it up or he will be the go to guy for years to come.
