"When you watch Bryant run routes, there is no crispness to them like Miles Austin. Austin runs routes at the same speed even when he goes in and out of breaks. It’s hard for defensive backs to get a gauge on when he is going to break or go vertical. Austin is disciplined in the speed, depth and completion of routes.
The best plays that Bryant makes are when he can go vertical or carry his route across the field. Where Bryant is an outstanding receiver is when the ball is in the air. His ability to go get the football is outstanding, but there needs to be much more than that.
It will be Robinson’s job to teach Bryant there is more to being an NFL receiver than just swimming your man at the line and trying to get vertical. Bryant will need to learn that when the depth of the route calls for 12 yards, you run in at 12 and not at 10 or 14. He needs to learn that on the fourth step on the slant he is to plant his outside foot and get inside because the quarterback needs him there or it is probably going to be an interception. "
