Tavon Austin works out with Randy Moss. It’s nice that he is working with Randy, but I hope he takes full advantage of Isaac & Torry when they come to camp as they do annually.
Knowing how and when to cut on a dime are two different things.Isaac was a master at selling defenders on the false idea he was the prime target. He was very crafty at ‘gliding,’ which is scout-speak for when he moves directly toward DB’s at the start of a route in such a manner that they cannot tell how fast he is moving, which used to scare the crap out of them—given his great cutting ability. Plus, Isaac would sell out his body on blocks, with a personal record of 14 pancake blocks! in a single game.
As good as the Reverend was, Torry possessed better sheer hands than Isaac and often delighted the pre-game crowd with behind-the-back one-handed catches in warm-ups.
Both of these veterans can do well to teach any of our fly guys how to set up & fake DB’s. I hope Sted gets involved with some of this off-season workouts with veteran receivers too.’
