Matt_In_NH Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 They consistently had a guy coming wide around the edge where Allen would try and spin out of the pocket. This is how Belicheck handles Allen. Today he was able to do just enough to get through but it clearly was frustrating him. They need to find a counter to this technique....the Rams have some good DL so they could bring some pressure so that was part of it but there must be something open when they do this, probably an escape route straight ahead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Josh was very impressive today in avoiding pass rushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think he'll just keep completing passes against it. Problem solved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting comment. I didn't notice they were doing that. I thought it looked like Allen had been told to stay in the pocket. I thought there were several plays where in previous weeks he would have escaped earlier and made a play on the run, either passing or carrying the ball. But maybe you're right, maybe he just couldn't see how to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post. Watching that pocket collapse and contain in the 2nd half reminded me of a Belichick D. They did a helluva job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe you're right, maybe he just couldn't see how to escape. The Texans did the same thing in the playoff game. When Allen takes a long sack when you really don’t want a sack it has been from this type of scheme. They trap him to where he struggles to get a ball off even as a throw away.

vincec Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Worked great. They really shut Allen down today. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
