YoloinOhio Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Quote The first area of regression is one he seemed to have under control since returning from an elbow injury in his rookie season. Before the injury, Allen was bailing out of the pocket far too early. In those instances last year, there was still time to operate in the pocket, especially with routes about to come open. It was an area he improved upon, and it hasn’t been a significant problem since. It returned in Cleveland, though, as Allen robbed himself of multiple plays when he still had time to operate in the pocket. Once he bailed out, he usually scrambled to the right and tried a throw on the run — and predictably, the accuracy of those throws dips by quite a bit. Despite not throwing an interception, Allen certainly provided the Browns chances on some of those ghost-seeing plays. Quote Allen must learn to throw the ball with anticipation regularly. Maddeningly enough for fans, he showed he could do it on the final drive. On two consecutive plays, Allen threw the ball with anticipation as wide receivers John Brown and Isaiah McKenzie got into their break. As the players turned around, the ball was right there with perfect placement, allowing them to get out of bounds to stop the clock. It’s in there somewhere with Allen, and it’s his job to trust his eyes, his knowledge of the playbook and his receivers.

Bob in STL Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I would like to see Joe B stay in that pocket. There were times that the left side leaked like a sieve.

Bferra13 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Allen was a bit shakey this game, but he also stepped up with some major league throws. I still love the upside. Can we get the guy a big, physical, somewhat skilled (sorry Duke) receiver though? That would be so helpful to him. I still trust my eyes as well and feel the coaches aren't doing him any favors with the rb situation and play calling. Put the dude in a situation to succeed at least. Oh and saying he was a bottom 5 graded out player on the field that day is silly Joe B. Wheres friggin Lee Smith? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTruster Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Browns packed the box to take the run game away and force Daboll to throw it. The pass plays were there, Josh just missed a bunch of what looked like simpler throws early that would have changed the Browns approach. The knock on Allen was he is not accurate and , sure enough, he wasn't very accurate against the Brownies. Guess we should have taken Rosen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Okay, so something he has shown great improvement on, which is hanging in the pocket, now immediately becomes full blown regression because of a game (1 out of 9 now) where he starts running around a bit. Could it be because they blitzed him 4 out of every 10 plays and he was getting knocked around? Was it his best game of the year? Nope. Did he still make some big time throws? Yep. Just saying, the media and anyone else love to throw out click bait to feed the opinions of those who slurp them up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the Bills would limit Lawson’s snaps so his stats don’t grow and impact resigning? He doesn’t make much for a starting DE. But still shouldn’t be playing so many snaps. I don’t think that at all about Shaq. That would make no sense because he’s clearly not a priority for them to re-sign to the point they would do something like that. 5 hours ago, GETTOTHE50 said: No Lee Smith? This 100%.

As a pass-rusher, Murphy lacked urgency in numerous one-on-one chances. He didn’t show any speed off the edge, he couldn’t bend underneath the tackle on wide rushes and he failed to get a push on bull-rush attempts. I focused most of my allotted video time on Murphy to stress the primary point: When the Bills were at their best in getting after the passer, Murphy wasn’t on the field. he was impactful during the goal line stand but didn’t contain the edge on other occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 11 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: Joe should listen to Eric Wood. The reason that Allen was able to throw with anticipation on the final drive is that Buffalo was in a hurry-up and didn't afford Cleveland a chance to change their personnel or looks. That gave Allen easy pre-snap reads, and we've all seen how good he is under those circumstances. Then, of course, we decided to huddle on 3rd down without calling a timeout, and we saw how that went. A smart fan might wonder why the offense doesn't operate on a fast-paced basis more often after seeing how well the QB plays in such a scenario. At least until Allen hits his next level of development and the game slows down more for him. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
