Dallas Cowboys WR Miles Austin had a dropped pass in the endzone Monday night, but it wasn’t his first of the season. According to dallasnews.com, Miles Austin is one of 12 players who have four drops so far this season. Only four players in the league have more.
Philadelphia Eagles TE Brett Celek and Minnesota Vikings WR Randy Moss have six drops, while both of the St Louis Rams wideouts, Danny Amendola and Brandon Gibson have five drops each.
Austin burst onto the stage last season in a big way recording 81 catches for 1320 yards and 11 scores. This year however, in fantasy circles, Austin is rapidly becoming a major disappointment and with Tony Romo out of the line-up, his prospects for posting huge numbers are disappearing.
Austin, who signed a very lucrative seven-year, $57.168 million dollar deal prior to the start of the season told reporters, “It’s a lack of concentration right before the ball comes”. Perhaps that sums up the entire Dallas Cowboys season, a giant lack of concentration.
