"They asked, ‘Why?' He's fast, knows how to run routes and is great after the catch — even in his limited role before he showed those things. Now he's doing it all the time." The Eagles are expected to stick ball-hawking cornerback Asante Samuel on Austin. ...

They are usually close and there are usually big plays for both teams throughout the game. Last year's season finale was the obvious exception. But with the Eagles adding another play maker in Jeremy Maclin this season and the Cowboys discovering the talent of Miles Austin it seems like both teams are primed for a shootout. While that would be entertaining for fans who like scoring I think the Cowboys would be makin...

But Eagles coach Andy Reid has liked Austin for some time. "I told our guys here about a year back, 'This guy right here, in the next year or two, he's going to be one explosive guy,'" Reid said.

But he fizzled out of the gate and got lost in the long shadow cast by Miles Austin. That is until last Sunday. Hurd's 36-yard catch-and-run TD was a thing of beauty. After making he catch over the middle, he outran two linebackers down the Seattle sideline and then outmaneuvered four defenders inside the 10 to get into the end zone. "It was a tremendous play," Wade Phillips s...

A lot of people turned to wide receiver Miles Austin, which made sense given his success. I'll come up with another name: Stephen Bowen. Like Austin, he was an undrafted free agent in 2006 but had to work his way up to the active roster from the practice squad. He has developed into an excellent rotation-type defensive end/tackle. He pla...

The USC alum tied his career-high with four touchbacks in Sunday's win over Seattle, giving him 17 on the season, which ties him with Toby Gowin for the second-most in a Cowboys season since 1991: Player TBs Season Lin Elliott 27 1992 Toby Gowin 17 1998 David Buehler 17 2009 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:18:14 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Buehler_aposs_been_a_huge_difference_maker/1484275 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Buehler_aposs_been_a_huge_difference_maker/1484275 http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/Buehler_aposs_been_a_huge_difference_maker/1484275 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/3/b/3bd51ac3c1a1e390ce79ba32df7facc67dec2075/small/Dallas_Cowboys_2009_1e71.jpg With 421 receiving yards in his first two starts, Miles Austin had the fourth-best three-game total in franchise history. With 61 yards Sunday vs. Seattle, he overtook Terrell Owens for the best three-start streak. Here's a look at the top-five three-game stretched by Cowboys receivers: 483 - Miles Austin, 2009 Oct. 11 at Kansas City - 250 yards Oct. 25 vs. Atlanta - 171 yards Nov. 1 vs. Seattle - 61 yards 472 - Terrell Owens, 2007 Nov. 4 at Philadelphia - 174 yards Nov. 11 at NY ...

Four weeks ago, that would have been a pretty good outing for the fourth-year player from Monmouth. But after gaining 421 yards in his last two outings, it's just a so-so performance. While the Seahawks have kept Austin out of the end zone, they haven't had luck stopping Sam Hurd (36-yard TD catch) and Roy Williams (7-yard TD reception). Tony Romo has completed 12 of 23 for 155 yards with two TDs and no turnovers....

Austin can extend his record total today as he looks to join Stacey Bailey (Atlanta, 1983) as the only players to post 100 yards or more in each of his first three starts. Here's the breakdown on players with the most receiving yards in their first three starts: Player Miles Austin, Cowboys, 421* Anquan Boldin, Arizona, 378 Marcus Robinson, Chicago...

Unless you're Miles Austin, whose football career was launched the day he was late for class as a junior at Garfield (N.J.) High School. Austin thought he was headed for detention because his teacher was Boilermakers football coach Steve Mucha, who had tried unsuccessfully for two years to convince Austin to join the team. "I thought he hated me," Austin said. "But instead of giving me detention, he gave me a pass to go int...

And when he comes into the locker room these days, he is often surrounded by media. His locker is tucked into a corner with mostly defensive players, so they now have to take refuge somewhere else as Austin talks. On Wednesday Steve Octavien gave Austin some good natured grief for bringing so many folks to the neighborhood, so to speak, and Austin politely moved over some to give O...

Austin's 421 receiving yards over the last two games is a club record and the fourth most in the NFL since 1970. The record for receving yards over two games is 450 by the Cincinnati's Chad Johnson (now Chad Ochocinco) in November 2006. The record for most receiving yards over three-straight games is 612 by Charley Hennigan of the AFL's Houston Oi...

Austin in April signed his one-year, $1.545 million tender offer to remain with the Cowboys for at least another season. He visited the Jets during the free-agency period but never received an offer from New York. "You don't ever want to speculate on anything because you don't kn...

A Cowboys receiver goes out and has a big day and is nothing but mild-mannered afterward? Believe it. Miles Austin was offering no quotes about "popcorn" after he caught six balls for 171 yards and a pair of touchdowns Sunday. From Austin: "We have a long way to go as a team. It's a good win. It's a big stepping stone. We are going to try hard this week and come in next week ready to play. I just went out and tried to play to the best of my abilit...
