When it comes to Allen, I never immediately think "he's fine", I always brace myself for Barkley on the next play. I guess its a defense mechanism. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that one barkley play on Sunday - joe Marino said on the Locked on bills podcast that it looke to him like barkley called the wrong protection and it wasn’t entirely on the OL. I like barkley as a teammate and all but I think I’d rather have Davis Webb as backup Edited December 4, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He misread the read option and then after that should have just eaten the sack. 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. I am not sure who Allen is looking at sometimes with those read option plays - I rarely see him pitch the ball to his running back even when it is clear that the defense is focused on him and his running back has a better lane. He will often keep that ball and dive head-first into the scrum. This is an area of self-scouting that Allen is going to need to address. I do think it is a bit of the hero ball mentality, but also the fact that play makers want the ball in their hands, the puck on their stick, to be up to bat with the bases loaded and the game on the line. He is just going to have to mature and balance that attitude with the fact that there are 10 other guys out there that can help him move the ball. I do think we executed some QB draws that worked really well and the screens have been mostly hit and less miss, and when they hit they go for a lot of yards. Definitely cooled their jets a bit on the pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess its a defense mechanism. This! I wish I could understand why Barkley is still on the team. He isn’t veteran enough to help teach Josh ‘the ropes’, has absolutely nothing in his game that compares to Allen’s skills for continuity should he have to enter a game and has a noodle arm no one fears. Rely on your fear. It will serve you well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Allen is a full participant and said he doesn't expect it to be a hindrance at all moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what he always says but the fact is he was hindered a game or two after he hurt his ankle and got it taped up in the Ravens game, he was hindered a couple games after injurying his L shoulder against LV, and he'll probably be hindered a couple games with this. Though the way he ran in the 2nd half - maybe his expectations on this are more reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the summer that our backup situation was bottom 5 in the NFL and was flamed for it.

Bills fans think he is better than he is because his best career game ever was his Bills debut. That is the exception. Awfulness is the rule.

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 We'll move on from Matt after this season IMO. The table is set and the meal is ready. Fighting over the ingredients will have to wait until the offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
