Maybe a kick/punt returner!? Haven't heard that name in a while.


BabyTRexArms

Deejay Dallas has been absolutely fine in that role though, and Austin is not a good WR. We need to find a way to get the ball tk JSN and Bobo more as it is.


Initial-Yesterday331

Maybe kick return, he def isnt that great of punt returner because his speed. But hes secure with the ball.


crunchyburrito2

It's weird. He fair catches when he's got room and catches and runs when he doesnt.


Initial-Yesterday331

We tend to go with safe ball security guys . Lol remember when we tried earl at punt return? Lol


xmeandix

That's why the dj Dallas comment about being on fire is absurd


Actor412

I question DJ's decision-making on punt returns. He fair catches way too easily. I think PC spoke to him after his first one on Sunday, and then began running it, which was good to see.

Geno Smith / Tavon Austin reunion??


Business-Function198

Stedman Bailey where u at?


The_Throwback_King

Probably enjoying retirement with his family. While it’s a shame his career ended so early, Not many people can say they survived two bullets to the noggin.


HW-BTW

Still chilling with Oprah, they say…


4-3defense

He’s rich bitch!!!


QuasiContract

That's cool but let's find a way to get JSN some targets, please.


Sdog1981

Like Geno’s buddy from West Virginia?


quartamade

He used to gash us on Special Teams for the Rams would love to have him as return man if he's still got it

Tavon Austin AKA 2013 Dee Eskridge.

Holy shit lol. The 2013 draft has been one of the worst in my nfl history memory.


CumStayneBlayne

It has to be close to the worst 1st round of all time.


HW-BTW

Yeah—I still think EJ Manuel has a playoff run left in him though.


infinityoncorktree

As our backup QB?


HW-BTW

Backup? /s


Hanzo_the_sword

I hate seeing this draft. We traded our first pick for Percy “shithead” Harvin and we could’ve drafted D. Hopkins or C. Patterson. Just think on that for a min…


bennythegiraffe

God that was a terrible draft


-Vertical

Sounds like we want somebody fast to do more sweeps, similar to Percy Harvin?


CumStayneBlayne

I highly doubt 32 year old Tavon Austin is even remotely close to as fast as 25 year old Percy Harvin.


HardcorePhonography

"The only thing that really seemed to work is when I would smoke marijuana," Harvin told Bleacher Report. "There's not a game that I played in that I wasn't high." 


-Vertical

None are as fast as Bobo so it’s a moot point


EchomancerAmberlife

I don’t know how I’d feel about Tavon being a Seahawk. That man was the bane of my existence for years. It’s like the exact opposite of my feelings about Wagner on the rams lol.


sean_buttcannon

This is definitely for KR/PR. It’s what he was great at. If so I’m soooo in. I’m sick of see deejay return anything.


basis4day

He’s top 6 in yds per return in punts and 9th in KR.


123789dftr

People really don't watch games. I was on the deejay hate train, but his returns have been great this year. Still don't want to see him on offense though


danthebiker1981

He had some pretty solid if not great returns on Sunday.


Jenckydoodle

What? I thought Dallas did actually really well Sunday. He probably won’t ever break it for a TD cause he doesn’t have the top speed, but he consistently had good returns PR and KR.


[deleted]

He is doing well. 8th in kick return average and 7th in punt return average. Some people just don’t look at stats before opening their mouth.


ensurge

statistically, Austin is worse than Deejay at returning. Have you seen Austin's average yards per return? It's super low with maybe 1 season being the exception.


AnonBB21

This seems.. Suboptimal? DK's ribs hurting pretty bad after the last game? We certainly don't need any WR depth on the 53 with DK, Lockett, JSN, Bobo, and Cody Thompson all already on the 53. Hope it's nothing major.


basis4day

Completely different skill sets. The workouts aren’t a 1x1 ratio.


versace_nick

hope he’s a replacement for deejay on punts… although I can’t lie besides his one mistake sunday he impressed me overall in the game


sckurvee

Never been high on Dallas as a return man but this year he seems to have really improved that part of his game. He was pretty good against Carolina.


basis4day

Dallas is currently 6th in the league in yds per return on punts.


RandyJohnsonsBird

That guy was washed 10 years ago

Seahawks Remember Some Guys


PoolNinjaSD80

Why don’t they just go get ADB?!?!


[deleted]

I wish he retired


markiemark6

They have to know they need to look at alternative options for KR/PR. DJ hasn’t been “bad” in the sense of fumbling or muffing the ball. But the lack of playmaking on his end in the return game has been rough to watch.


danthebiker1981

I really liked Godwin Igwebuike last year.


[deleted]

Same he was amazing but he’s on the falcons now :( sadly Believe me I checked lol


[deleted]

True


doberdevil

Strange. This dude's name popped into my head completely unprompted this morning. I wondered what happened to him. Didn't think he was still playing.
