YoloinOhio Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Looks to have an ankle tweak but came back in ... maybe knee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroutDog Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) Post game presser he said he was fine. Replay clearly showed ankle but maybe it strained the knee. Edited November 29, 2020 by TroutDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 His ankle bent but if you watch at the very end his knee got pinned underneath him and he was kind of pushed in the other direction by the guy coming in late... Very lucky because I thought it could have been a bad ankle and/or knee sprain or possible tear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Or with how he was running after the ankle maybe robot leg? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I thought knee initially to be honest. Then on the replay they talked about ankle. To come in and play as he did not sure it is too serious. Hopefully not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Could explain why he muffed the fumble, couldn't get down as far or as fast as needed and wiffed?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 He was rushing and diving at pylons after that. He's fine. He NEEDS to stop hero ball in all but desperate situations though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvbillsfan Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 He came out and played as he normally would. Didn’t seem limited side note that’s why I hate the qb runs. If he’s gone so is our season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some say take the read option out but the Bills were making a concerted effort to run plays that would back off the pass rush and the read option is in that category. It worked too. Our oline was able to pass protect much better 2nd half once we had established we were willing to zone read and screen pass and double pass and do stuff that used the defense's aggressiveness against them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I pray his “inner Gumby” was more than just an adrenaline rush and he’s fine moving forward. I don’t love all the designed runs, especially on consecutive plays (which seems to happen a lot), but I get what they add to the offense. They make other things work. Be well, Josh!

The positive is Josh said he’s fine. 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I say take zone read out is because it doesn’t work. Reason number one it doesn’t work is because the inside zone is never there and the DE can just key on the QB which is an injury waiting to happen. Reason number two is because Allen’s mesh point is too sticky and he doesn’t have the lateral quickness to overcome that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running it a bit on those drives at the end of the first today was tactical to set other stuff up though. Those two drives the Beasley TD drive and the one before HT that included the scary play and ended with a FG definitely impacted the way the Chargers rushed the passer after that. They made a real concerted effort on those drives to run aggression beaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That play was zone read that Allen tried to hero ball a pass out of, it’s run all the way..those play calls aren’t going to impact the pass rush much if at all. RPO I could get on board with but a bunch of this is strictly zone read and imo it’s mostly worthless for the reasons I said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the DE is crashing down on the QB and the back has slipped out past him I disagree that it has little impact on the way the defense rushes.

You said pass rush so I assumed you were talking about a pass play. And our zone read doesn’t really put the DE in trouble because there’s no threat inside because we can’t run block.

Banged up and another PT are saying MCL sprain and showing pic of Allen wearing obvious knee brace. It's ~ 1 month injury Hopefully he'll be able to play through it - probable from him being able to keep going today but can swell and stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray808 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 If we are dealing with a knee injury a lot can happen in the next 48 hours to determine his availability for the upcoming weeks...
