Jamie ErdahlHOST
Who doesn't love a trick play? What's your all time favorite trick play man time?
Manti Te'oHOST
Well, I'm going to go week 7 of 2014 that then Saint Louis Rams was playing the Seattle Seahawks and then they have a guy named Tavon Austin.
Manti Te'oHOST
It was a punt return or Tavon Austin.
Manti Te'oHOST
He acted like the punt was going to the their left.
Manti Te'oHOST
But then you had Stedman Bailey.
Manti Te'oHOST
But this is something that I remember when we saw this play, we tried to do it ourselves.
Manti Te'oHOST
So oftentimes you'll get a beat on a punter where he wants to punt the ball.
Manti Te'oHOST
But because Tavon Austin was such a feared returner, they knew that he was going to put the ball to their right.
Damian MitchellPANELIST
there's a ton more.
Damian MitchellPANELIST
Tavon Austin's from that area.
Damian MitchellPANELIST
Okay.
Damian MitchellPANELIST
He went to West Virginia.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
But the problem is it's where he went.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
We saw it with Tavon Austin.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
The Rams were never going to use Tavon Austin as anything more than a gadget guy.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
But, I mean, you see Trey Tucker.
Jake EllenbogenHOST
It's like, well, what makes Trey Tucker different? Trey Tucker's 5'8".
Chris AndersonGUEST
And, like, their running back all of a sudden was on, like, the Heisman watch list because he ran for 200 – let's see, ran for 212 yards and three touchdowns and also threw for two touchdowns.
Chris AndersonGUEST
So – I think this defense, I don't know for your listeners if they go all the way back to 2012 when West Virginia and TCU first entered the Big 12 and West Virginia was winning games 70-63 because they had Geno Smith and Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.
Chris AndersonGUEST
but they had no defense.
Chris AndersonGUEST
I honestly put this defense in the same class as that.
Devere PoseyPANELIST
hometown.
Devere PoseyPANELIST
You look at this kid, not a big NIL guy, under six foot, but the best part about him, man, he is a big play Tavon Austin type of dude.
Devere PoseyPANELIST
The numbers are there.
Devere PoseyPANELIST
You start doing research and unpacking things about him.
Michael Hawkins Jr.GUEST
Got to pay my respects.
Michael Hawkins Jr.GUEST
And then Tavon Austin.
Michael Hawkins Jr.GUEST
I'll say Geno Smith.
Michael Hawkins Jr.GUEST
I don't know too much.
Anthony LewisHOST
I mean, if you, if you've tuned out, y- you're really missing out on watching a young man, um, who is one of the best quarterbacks and electric players in the country.
Anthony LewisHOST
It, it, it's, he's a, he's as electric as a Tavon Austin.
Anthony LewisHOST
He, he's just a, he's a difference maker.
Anthony LewisHOST
He's a game breaker and a difference maker.
Anthony LewisHOST
I mean, he's electric.
Avon CoburnHOST
He's, he's one of those guys that are, is must-see TV.

Braylon EdwardsHOST
Tavon Austin, he's nice.
Braylon EdwardsHOST
Tavon is nice.
Avon CoburnHOST
Uh, so yes, absolutely it has.
Anthony LewisHOST
The, the only one that I can think of was the 2012 Joe DeForest debacle when you had Geno, Tavon, and Steadman Bailey, and they were beating teams.
Anthony LewisHOST
Like, they beat Texas 52 to 45 or something like that down there.
Anthony LewisHOST
That defense was bad.
Avon CoburnHOST
this one worse is we're losing [laughs].
Anthony LewisHOST
Well, that's a, that's a, yeah, that's...
Anthony LewisHOST
Well, I mean, that team finished seven and six, so, but that team, think that team finished seven and six had Tavon Austin, Steadman Bailey [laughs], and Geno Smith on it.
Anthony LewisHOST
So you got three pros.
Wes UhlerHOST
