Dopey Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I loved the pick when it happened and am really excited to see him take over the RB spot. He won't be a workhorse but will provide what we need from our rb. Great vision, patience, cut back ability, YAC ability, elusiveness, great hands and plenty of speed. I can't believe people here viewed him as a slow last year. Hesitant at the beginning of the year, sure. But his speed was never in doubt. Hopefully the YouTube link below works.

sven233 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 So fun to watch this offense early in the season when Allen was taking the short stuff underneath when it was there. He was literally unstoppable early in the season when teams were just trying to cover everything deep and Allen had those quick hitters underneath whenever he wanted them. Allen was on a 6000 yard total pace until the injury and the offense just seemed to fall off a cliff in the 2nd half of that Packers game. I know he said the injury prevented him from making certain shorter throws, but it is really noticeable when you go back and watch the games early when he basically did anything and everything he wanted to do. Hoping he gets back to that this season. Don't get me wrong, I still want Allen to sling the rock down the field most of the time, but taking the easy stuff and forcing teams to respect it and come up a bit opens up the deeper stuff and just make it easier on himself to hit the intermediate and deep stuff more often. 3 3 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 At the start of last year he definitely looked slow on the field which is what people were saying. Everyone knew he had speed, he showed it in college and he ran a 4.42 at the Combine... but he looked slow because of his indecision. I am optimistic he is going to take a big step this year. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 He runs like his brother, only less decisive and slightly smaller… two things that can be addressed with an NFL offseason under his belt. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Definitely speedy. I think he’s such a smooth runner that my brain doesn’t process his speed. He runs like a hot knife through butter. I expect big things this year for him, hopefully entrenched as the starter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Watching that highlight video reminded me of my favorite Cook play from last year. The second regular season Miami game, that TD pass right before the half. Went thru a bunch of emotions on that play. It was like, "Okay, if it isn't there just throw it away and take three... *Josh begins to scramble* c'mon man you're almost outta time, get rid of it! *clock expires* Crap, clock ran out, now they can't even get three. *Josh zips it to Cook for the TD* Well hey look at that!" They were wizards at scoring just before the half last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Has anyone really said he's slow. Devin Singletary was pretty slow. So was Zach Moss. James Cook is not slow in anybody's world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Linen Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We don't need a workhorse and neither do the majority of teams. The league has several examples now and over the last decade that a player of his size can be the main back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
