Austin admits he was out of shape

Found April 17, 2012 on Just Sports And Just Us: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Miles Austin
TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys

There wasn't much of an offseason in the NFL last season due to the lockout. The lockout affected some players but not all as there wasn't too much of a dropoff in play.

Dallas Cowboys receiver Miles Austin was one of the players the lockout hurt. After coming out of nowhere and piling up back to back 1,000 yard seasons, Austin experienced a decline in production because he battled a nagging hamstring injury. After a disappointing showing Austin admitted that he was out of shape.

“Right now I’m working with the trainers at our facility,” Austin said during a promotional appearance at a Neiman Marcus store in San Antonio. “I feel like last year I wasn’t prepared for the season the way I should’ve been condition-wise, even though I looked and felt it at the time. That’s one thing that I have to keep an eye on. To make sure I’m in the best physical shape I can be.”


Austin said the injuries are behind him and the hamstrings aren't an issue. The Cowboys will need him to be at full strength for them to put together a good season.

Some early thoughts on the Cowboys 2012 schedule

Via Lone Star Struck  |  April 18, 2012
The long wait came to end last night as the NFL released the 2012 NFL schedule. So many fans could not wait to look at their teams schedules to see who they played first, did they have any primetime game, were they home or away for more than two weeks in a row, when were the division games being played. Then I’m sure most fans like me went down the schedule one game at time thinking...

Boss Move? Tony Romo Back On Golf Course 5 Days After Birth Of Son

And here we figured women wanted the husband/BF around 24/7 after the birth of a child to do chores like changing deuce diapers and make lunch. Pfft, not if you’re Tony Romo. Remember how his wife gave birth a week ago Monday? It was Candice Crawford’s first baby. We figure there is like a two-week period where it’s like baby vacation. Just sit around and stare at the kid...

Via Unathletic  |  April 16, 2012
As we all know, Tony Romo and Candice Crawford are now parents. The question is; do you let Tony Romo, who has a history of dropping the ball, hold the baby?
