    Dunno if it means much,
    but I liked it.

    “Tavon Austin’s had a great offseason,” Cignetti said. “It starts in the classroom. He’s learning. He’s paying attention. He’s bringing it to the practice field.
    “You just see it from his route running. What a difference. His effort, his attention to details. Every day out there, the guy’s made plays.”

    Yeah but the quote sorta implies that prior to this year he wasn’t as dedicated to mastering his craft as he is now. I think it takes some of the really special athletes time to figure out that athleticism by itself isn’t enough in the NFL.

    I just took it as (potentially) a Brian Quick situation, ie. he’s breaking through. Going from more green to more savvy. I don’t think it meant he didn’t work before.

    “…He’s paying attention…his effort…”

    I take that to mean he was less dedicated before this year thinking he could get by more on his natural athleticism. Figuring that out may be something some gifted athletes have to learn, but I’d guess from all we’ve heard that he is more focused this year.

    Yeah, I agree with you. Although I still don’t think he’ll be any good.

    I hope Tavon can break through and begin to have an impact on offense but even if he doesn’t I still think his punt returning skills make him invaluable.

    I am very wait and see on this. I don’t rule out him improving some when it comes to the receiver part of his game. I agree that as a returner alone he’s worth his…er, TWICE his weight in gold.

    I dunno. I suppose I think he’s ‘already’ good, in that
    he’s going to break some games open on special teams every year.

    I think he’s a special and complementary player.
    If they have a healthy QB and some weapons around him,
    I think he’ll do some az-hakim type things. But he’s not
    a Randy Moss type thats going to dominate on his own.

    I dunno if he was “worth moving up to number 8 for”. Probly not.
    But he’s still a dangerous player who is just coming
    into his prime. So, we’ll see.
