Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

I figured out the reason why Miles Austin is so hard to tackle!




He sweats like a pig!  If you look at his head shots during the game the guy is sweating bullets.

However, the DMN blog disagrees:

In two explosive starts, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin has shown one weakness. He sweats profusely.

 

Wrong.  It is a strength.  He is able to slip and slide through tackles.  Being slicked up the way Austin is is the same reason why it is so hard to tackle a greased up deaf guy.

Aww!! I missed my calling.

Back in the day I was 6’2" 210lbs, very fast and very sweaty. If I’d only known. Oh wait, in football, I can’t catch a cold.

it’s also why he randomly fumbled a ball out of bounds while streaking down the sidelines lol

check out this photo, you can see the sweat flying off of him as he changes direction…

If Austin went to a division 1-A college

he would have been a high 1st rd draft pick, he has that kind of talent and ability.

Scouts are always doubtful of small school players

Maybe Jason Williams will be our next diamond in the rough?

Felix may have the same "asset" as Miles.

He looked pretty drenched on that catch-and-run when he forearm smashed Lucas.

game was only in the 70's..........

they did say that was the reason they closed the stadium, more for the fans comfort. I wouldn’t call the 70’s hot though.

And playing lights out.

We have hard workers on our team. But seriously, it wasn’t very humid yesterday. Kind of crisp, but N.Texas may be different.
