I was thinking about Allen running and I realized part of what makes him super effective is his ability to break tackles and run through arm tackles. Contact is kind of a prerequisite for that.
But he does need to take LESS hits. I just don't think he is ever going to be a type of runner that can avoid contact.
I've always supported his running. It is exciting. I love watching it. I think it is super cool that he gets a bunch of rushing TD's as a QB. He just needs to continue to work through the fumbles and figure out how to avoid those big hits.
I don't know. Seems like the Pats handled them fine.
Plus, the Dolphins have beaten the Pats in years that we have swept the Dolphins, but that hasn't seemed to get us closer to beating the Pats, has it?
Wow. All they talked about in the Titans vs Broncos game was how much the Titans run play action. Like every third word from the announcers was about that. I thought they would have been 1st.
Darnold is in a bad situation. Reverse teams and I KNOW Josh would be struggling in New Jersey, and I'm fairly confident Darnold would be progressing nicely in Buffalo.
Wow, that's sloppy mechanics by Mahomes. Looking is better than not looking. Hopefully he worked on that in the off-season. Seems like an easy thing to fix, though.
The only thing I think needs mentioning between the two of them is everyone is worried sick about Allen getting hurt when running it but nobody seems to care if Jackson runs it a lot. Why is that? Let both of them do what they are good at.
Bills win 33 to 16. They iron out the kinks from week one. Another big day from Allen and the running backs have a much better game.
Perfect two preseason games before the REAL season starts.
I didn't watch much. I saw his first two misses and called them both before he missed them. Gostkowski doesn't have it anymore and I knew anything longer than 40 would likely be a miss from him. He's too dang old.
But whatever. I have no interest in either team besides the fact we play them both.
I say let the kid run. It's what he does, he's good at it, and it is tough for defenses to contain. He just needs to cut it off a yard or two sooner by sliding, getting out of bounds, etc.
