Predicting Tavon Austin's 2017 Season Performance

[Vitamike]

New Rams HC Sean McVay and OC Matt LaFleur are eager to see if they can make good on the potential their forebears could not.

Austin's raw speed has never been in question. His inability to apply that speed (or find ways to have it applied for him) have always been the problem.

Tavon Austin hit season high numbers in 2016 with 106 targets, 58 receptions and 509 receiving yards, yet TA is the all time leader in least efficient receiver (Yds/Tgt) since targets became a stat among all Wide Receivers with more than 200 targets.

Maybe you've seen the story, if not, I'm interested to find if our polls differs much from the reported numbers in the story so vote first before looking for the story yourself.

Once the poll closes, I will link the original story for you to read if you haven't looked for yourselves by then.

If he doesn't learn to catch better, he will never reach 1000 yds.

He dropped nearly half his targets last year, which is terrible for a slot receiver when the majority of your passes are within 10 yards or less

I won't say zero because anything can happen but I think it's highly unlikely, so I'm going to say 25%. It was a tough choice between that and tater salad.

I too have lost faith in this knucklehead! He drops more than he catches. So what do we do? We sign him to a MASSIVE contract?

 

[ANGELAKERAMS]

Woods has a better chance of reaching 1000 yards because he is a better route runner and catches almost everything.

When I posted that shops, I was wondering who was old enough to get that GIF. I guess it's famous enough that some who know it, may not have seen the original airings....

Here's a little more background....

EXCELLENT VITA!! CHEESEBURGA, CHEESEBURGA, CHEESEBURGA!!

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Damn you guys!!! now I want a freakin' Cheeseburger and it's after 11pm(no place to go for one)

 

[SJ76]

Lmao



What's really funny is I am having cheeseburgers and potato salad for Sunday dinner. My wife makes a hella tater salad. Bacon is the key to amazing potato salad and my wife has it down.

Cheeseburger is my thing. I could open up my own lunch truck with these cheeseburgers. Key is seasoned salt and pepper. That's it

As far as Tavon? Can't be any worse. Kid has a lot of speed and hopefully he can learn some things from these coaches.

Is he humble? The HBO special didn't make it seem like it. He hasn't done shit so if he has any nuts at all he will make some things happen especially after the catch.

Bacon is great in ALOT of things!!! but yes, tater salad is certainly one of them!!!

As for the key to burgers, seasoning is for sure... As a Chef, you MUST season the meat properly BEFORE cooking and SOMETIMES after(though I'm not a big fan of finishing salts)...

Cmon
Man! What's your recipe burgers?

I don't really have a burger recipe, it's all about the meat... I usually get some REALLY good stuff from a local steakhouse near me who also sells us the meat for the mini sliders for the restaurant I work at(American Kobe, yes yes I know its not the same as Japanese Kobe lol)... What we do is sear the outside of the sliders on a cast iron "platter" then transfer them to a slotted rack for cooking(don't have to cook long unless you're an idiot and don't know crap about meat)... Good meat just needs heat, salt and pepper to cook.

As for finishing salt... A few years ago I was at Cut in Vegas(Wolfgang Puck's steak place at the Venetian)... Everything was AMAZING, until I took my first bite of the steak... It was SO salty because of the "finishing salt" they put on it. Ruined the ENTIRE meal for me!!!

I just use regular 80-20 Texas beef. Make it juicy. I could probably just use regular salt and it would be fine

80-20 is a perfect blend... What do you mean by "regular salt"??? You should either use kosher salt or sea salt... Also, don't forget the fresh cracked/grated black pepper!!!
