Film Analysis of Alex Austin

Pick-six

Austin looked to be using outside leverage in zone coverage. He sunk with the post route initially but then came off of it when he saw the wheel route coming behind it. He did an excellent job of transitioning forward to make a play on the ball — and taking it to the house for the pick-six.

Alex Austin blitzing

Austin isn’t afraid to mix it up in the blitz game either. What I like most about this play is how he disguised the blitz and timed it perfectly.

Alex Austin is a willing tackler

Austin offers some support as a willing tackler. Here he showed a quick transition to come up and attack this swing pass to make a solid tackle for no gain.

Smooth Operator

The above two clips of Austin are from the NFL Combine. I thought he was the smoothest DB regarding footwork and transitions at this year’s combine. He never seems to be “trying.” He’s always in control and has minimal missteps.

The Bills have a knack for finding CBs in the late rounds that outperform their draft position. There are good reports coming out of OTAs on Christian Benford, also Jamarcus Ingram, a UDFA last year out of the University of Buffalo has done some good things.

Hopefully that knack strikes some GOLD!!
