The self-awareness is good, but the truth is his worst hits didn't come on plays where he ran the football, they came behind the LOS. Allen is always going to be a serious running threat. It's obviously part of his game. And it affords him some flexibility in growing as a passer in the pocket, which is something he needs to continue working on.

transplantbillsfan Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 This article is from last week and analysis of the Miami game, but I think it's pertinent to the ongoing discussion about "Allen needs to stop running!" continuing after the Jets game: https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/12/6/18126838/is-josh-allen-too-quick-to-abandon-pocket-zay-jones-buffalo-bills-dolphins-kiko-alonso-charles-clay Is Josh Allen too quick to abandon the pocket? In assessing the pulse of the blog following last Sunday’s game, it seems Buffalo Rumblings readers were generally pleased with Josh Allen’s performance against the Miami Dolphins, even though the Buffalo Bills wound up losing the game. Many pointed to the catchable ball to Clay on the goal line that would have put the Bills ahead by three with under a minute left to play. Fans weren’t universally positive about Allen’s performance. One point that appeared a couple of times was that it appeared Allen was too quick to bail out of pockets. I believe that line of thought is worth an in-depth look. ... The notion that Allen was taking off early, either to scramble or just to buy time, would seem to be quashed. He wasn’t bailing out of clean pockets and didn’t do so until the very last play. He made good decisions on when to scramble and when to run, and generally did an exceptional job of seeing and sensing pressure. He took two sacks, one of which is bound to happen when the offensive tackle guarding his blind side isn’t very good at his job. Even then, Allen has to trust Dawkins to do a better job than he did in Miami. The other sack, yes, is on Allen. He has to get the ball out when he sees the defensive back coming on a blitz and has a man open to avoid the negative play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'd love for the critics of Allen's running to watch these highlights and answer this simple question: Are the worst hits Allen takes when he's a passer or a runner?
