Josh has to play because you need to see if he can be coached and play his way out of these stupid self-inflicted mistakes. There's a time and place to play hero, but not while going backwards and throwing on your back foot.
So you are shifting your point from Barkley playing because Allen is hurt to Barkley playing because he is a better short term option. So you are trying to hide a QB controversy within your thread. Just be honest.
He also breaks out of sacks and has makes crucial first downs right? Last week he broke out a critical sack on the game winning drive last week right? He just needs to improve his situational awareness.
I haven’t seen any RB / WR screens, end around. It’s like trying to run a whole new offense. New England, just like Cincy, taking away Beasley and those shorter routes.
