Calvin Austin to the Giants

Seriously I know it is a slow time for sports news but suddenly CA3 became Mike Wallace and his speed leaves a huge hole in the lineup. Truly how will they recover.

 

I believe we recovered quite nicely when Wallace left. So.....

 

He seldom got open and he was so short all the defender had to do was put his hands up

Watched it repeatedly

 

Or sucking loudly.

 

Or a creative offensive coach.

 

Or getting open

 

I never thought Austin was very good. His route running wasn't good, and he really wasn't open that often. He had great straight-line speed, but I never felt like I was watching a player with natural receiving ability. With his small size and catch radius, he could never be a featured target unless he had elite short area quickness and separation, which he never really showed.

I'm glad they didn't sign him to a new contract and he went to another team. I like him and wish him well. He just wasn't a good enough receiver, and it is time to find someone with better natural receiving skills.

 

I still think he could be a great number 3.

 

Giants have a hell of a WR room Now if Dart can progress in sophomore year. CAIII

 

Maybe you're right. I just don't see it. I don't see that type of ability in him.

I hope he does well because he seems to be a great young man from everything I've heard about him.

 

I would still acquire a WR if I was New York. Just not at pick 5 like so many outlets are implying. Missing out on Sonny Styles would be a colossal mistake.
