Allen's Leap


Recommended Posts

When Allen hurdled that defender, it reminded of a couple plays from the Bills past.  


The first memory that popped  up was Kelly's dive for the winning TD against Miami in 1989.  The net result of Allen's leap wasn't nearly as momentous but it galvanized the team in a similar way.  I loved hearing Allen's teammates talk excitedly about the play after the game. 

 

In an antithetical way, Allen's leap also brought up memories of Orton's hook slide short of the first down.  Allen is no Orton.

Hope to never see it again. Learn to slide Kid. Thing that kills the goal of this season (Allen’s Growth) is a Jimmy G torn ACL. 

 

Also always get scared with the Horse Collar tackle and in back to back games Allen has taken one.

I hope to never see it again either, but, if he did slide, the Bills are punting.

Question,  has anyone ever seen an injury occur while jumping over a player in this manner? Lots of folks calling it foolish, but is it?

 

Does it fire up the team? absolutely IMO

 

Cam Newton has made a living with his aggresive style running and leaping ability making him the hardest QB in the league to defend IMO.

The TE from Raiders Miller that destroyed his knee and career.
