Billever76 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 5 hours ago, SCBills said: I’m fully behind us limiting his non-red zone runs in the regular season, but given our mediocre offense around him, do we think there may be more designed runs/read option in the running game, as opposed to straight shotgun handoff runs? If teams have to spy, and respect the deep ball, that’s a lot of field to be worried about for a defense. No reason to have allen handcuffed at this point...if he is the guy we drafted him to be its time to utilize allen to his strengths..daboll is baby sitting allen and he isnt being unleashed until late in games...this whole damn team is conservative by nature and it is 10000% whom mcdermott,frazier and our whole coaching philosophy is made of...they refuse to take chances until its too late or not at all 1 hour ago, ProcessTruster said: I don't think he's much of a runner. Not terribly elusive, just a straight ahead runner. NFL safeties and LBs will eventually kill him and turn him over until they do. Good change of pace guy like the guy in Philly, not much more. Where have you been the last two years..allen is hella shifty and fast also...he doesnt just run right into contact but will also lower his pads and pick up the extra yards if needed...kid has wheels and the only other qb who is better scrambling is lamar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 If he gets to go up against some weaker defenses sure, I get the feeling the Ravens, Steelers, and Patriots are able to scheme against it too well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThurmasThoman Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 i think 2 things you're going to see more of in the playoffs: isaiah mckenzie touches and screen passes designed for motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 The bigger question is will the offensive line learn how to run block for anyone for the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I never want to see a designed run for Allen again, personally. Cool w/ the scrambles, but it never really works when we make him the back on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to spread things out and have Allen take off if the throw isn’t there. A few options as well. This team isn’t good enough running the ball to not use Allen’s mobility and use it a lot. It’s win or go home, so they need to coach with that mindset. Well said! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
