Old Coot

100 Roundtable on Defensive Ends on NFL.com tonight: Bruce gave props to Ben Williams. On tape he noticed that Ben always kept his arms moving. He asked ben why & Ben replied that it kept the OT. from holding him. Bruce realized that separation from the OT was the key. If you keep separation you can run and once your hip is behind the OTs hip it's over. Jason Taylor gave props to Bruce for the way Bruce could slant his body outside of the OT.

I agree that the three throws were bad decisions. That said, however, this guy has a cannon for an arm. The trajectory of the two deep interceptions was relatively flat making it easier for the DB to intercept. Had he put more air under the ball, who can say what might have happened. Compare the arching throw Barkley made to Brown (?) along the sideline for big yardage. Tight coverage but the DB had no chance. This game showed that, while the Bills are an improved team, they aren't in the Pat's league yet. I especially liked the way the D kept Brady off balance for most of the game.

Has Allen's accuracy and anticipation on short to medium throws improved enough so he can hit these routes consistently?
