    I'm glad you brought this up, because this is something that has basically sat in the back of my mind for quite a long time now, dating back to very early in the season, I can't remember which game, but a defensive coordinator I believe even went as far as to say something along the lines of, "if Allen wants to keep running the ball the way he does, we're gonna treat him like a runner", insinuating that if given the chance they were gonna hit him and hit him hard.  I know for a fact many defensive players have taken issue with Allen and his rushing abilities and his reluctance to slide/run out of bounds.  I spent a great majority of the 1st half of the season in fear for Allen's safety, and literally held my breath every time he took off with the rock. 

    But as the season progressed, and really only until a few weeks ago did I realize something.  I mentioned this earlier in the thread, or perhaps in another thread, as much as Allen has developed his game as a passer, he's done the same as a runner.   He is making much smarter decisions on when to tuck it and run, he's taking much better angles now, making him an even harder target to hit, combine that with his deceptive speed and long strides, and his runs now more than ever are simply back-breaking to the defense.  You simply cannot gameplan for what Allen can do to you when adding his rushing element.  And now that he is improving on what seems to be a week to week basis, defenders are going to have a hard enough time just bringing him down before a 40 or 50 yard gain, the last thing they have time for is trying to make ESPN's top plays by laying Josh out.  And I agree with you 100%, there is most definitely some jealousy, some anger, and plenty of frustration with some of the defensive players out there...but because of the unique running skillset Allen is bringing now on a weekly basis, there simply isn't an opportunity for one of them to cheap shot or intentionally hurt Allen unless it was BLATANTLY long after the whistle, in which we're talking not just a flag, but ejection/suspension and hefty fines.  

    I love the perspective you provide here regarding Allen and his maturation as a QB and knowing how to play better ALL aspects of his game. From his rookie year we have all seen tremendous growth in all areas that is certain.

    The uproar if someone would cheap shot Allen would mark that player as a punk*** , forget the fines and suspensions. His name would be dirt across the league. a good example of that kind of guy is kiko alonzo imo

    But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
    Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
    The kids are alright

    I agree with Kyle (not surprising). It. Is. Now. We’ve seen this story before. I know Allen is still young, but this team isn’t going to get better. The staff is in place. The roster -minus Tre White- is intact and the best the Cap will allow. I don’t see this as “if not now, when?’. I see this as it HAS to be now.

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light

    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed

    And then you took the words right out of my mouth
    Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
    You took the words right out of my mouth
    Oh I swear it's true
    I was just about to say I love you (love you)

     

    RIP
