Victory Formation Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It's clearly the strongest part of his game right now. He's a young buck, kid is 6'5 240lbs farm boy, he can take a hit. You'd hope year 2 he turns into more of a passer, but until then, turn this kid loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 You don't want your QB to take the hits, regardless if he has the size. That is how injuries, and concussion protocol, happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Allen runs a lot as is.. but I agree, he looks like Cam (I pegged him more as a Roethlesberger type), let him loose, he's a lot better scrambling than I ever expected 1 minute ago, Happy Gilmore said: You don't want your QB to take the hits, regardless if he has the size.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Appears to be more durable that way than TT, and definitely forces D coordinators to account for it, possibly opening up some of the tight coverages downfield, but at the end of the day needs to be a tool in the toolbox, not the main event obviously.

Remember, you have Nate Peterman if Allen is on the injury report. That right there should be all you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not Tom Brady, he is more like Vick, Tyrod, Cam.. it's a tremendous part of his game. Everytime Allen runs something good happens. I hope they design run plays for him specifically. Send everybody deep and Allen gashes them underneath. How do you stop that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a spy, as well as crowding the box, like what GB did. Other teams will catch on. They're already leaving the long routes open daring the Bills to throw it deep to beat them. Specifically planning for Allen runs is a recipe for disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) I always thought Allen's ability to run is best used as a threat to make other aspects of the offense easier and when they don't respect it burn them for it.

I remember when Bortles did that to us last year. Hard to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Don't like to see him run. Fearful of; injury, and Peterman coming off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really not at all the lesson they want to teach Allen. They know he has the running instinct. They want to teach him to step up in the pocket and make his reads. That's what he really needs to learn if he's going to make it in the NFL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next year he is more of a surgeon, but at the very least can't we sprinkle it in more? I'm not talking about being like a chicken with his head cut off but encourage it more, good things happen when he runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBeets Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I'd rather my QB not run. He can only take so many hits before something bad happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
