JerseyBills Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 So probably my favorite play from the Jet game is when Allen forced the DE Offside , had the awareness the flag was thrown and just chucked one up to I believe Zay Jones, resulting in a pass interference and a 30-40 yard gain! Aka the Aaron Rodgers special. This is super heady for a rookie and something Rodgers has made a living doing on a consistent basis in Green Bay. The next thing that crossed my mind after being super super impressed by this heady, veteran like play was how I remember Tyrod Taylor NEVER taking advantage of offside penalties. I was on BBMB at that time but we definitely had a few discussions about Tyrod just not having the awareness to take advantage of the offside . Just another example that this kid has tons of potential and another example of a great, veteran play that wont show up on the stat sheet and eventually resulted in a Bills TD. Haven't seen this particular play discussed on here, as I'm sure many posters felt very refreshed seeing Allen make that throw , especially after 3 years of Taylor failing to ever come close to making that type of play. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I noticed that as well. Mostly good coaching, but good awareness as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was super impressed and really appreciated it. Just very heads up, a play you rarely see a rook make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Allen was so excessively excited, like he won the Super Bowl. To me that means that this situation is probably something they have been working on with him and he was super happy to execute it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay_Fixit Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I think it’s more of a “every QB who plays QB and knows how rules work” special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I can't think of ONE time our previous QB made that throw in 3 years, and i'm pretty sure he's aware of the rules. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I forgot about that play since it wasn’t a completion. You are right though. It was a real smart play for a rookie to make. Another good sign that he may have what it takes to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that Rodgers seems to make a living off that, it feels like he's doing that every time i see the Pack play . He was the player that came to mind when Allen threw the deep ball knowing the D was Offside, Rodgers consistently will chuck it deep when the D is Offside. Not many QBs do . I just thought it was a very heady play for a rookie , and again, our previous QB would never make a throw like that, as he seemed to be stuck in his head, nervous in the pocket and didn't trust his throwing ability, so Taylor was thinking, while Allen just reacted and made a veteran throw there.

It was, Jersey. Don't know why mr. fixit is being douchy about it. It's a heady play, that you WANT your QB to make. But especially heady for a rook. And I was as big a Tyrod Taylor fan as there was, but he didn't do it often (if ever). I'm wondering if it's b/c he couldn't see over his line to see it happening! LOL!

without a drought Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Let's just go with Taylor was really the only QB I can think of that wouldn't take advantage of a free play like that. We should be glad that we don't have to see that anymore, but we should also hold off on the Rodgers comparisons until he looks like Rodgers for a game.

TtownBillsFan Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 LOL, fair enough. But JA is ALL OVER Rodgers in ability to move with the football in his hands, AND CLOWN DE's and DT's while doing it. JA's stiff-arm pimp-hand is stupid-strong.

It’s not something that anyone refers to as the Aaron Rodgers special. Hence why I said it. So pull up your pants and act like a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TtownBillsFan Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 LOL, whatever, dude. You seem to wear your feelings on your sleeves. Do better. I've seen you do better in prior posts. If you can't accept that it was a heady play, especially by a rookie, then it's your issue, not mine for noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
