Tipster19 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 By early reports Kyle Allen is struggling so far. He’s having trouble just getting the snap off which is worrisome. The collection of skilled position players in this offense rely heavily on timing which happens to be a strength of Barkley’s, he anticipates well and just remembering the effectiveness of the Rams’ The Greatest Show on Turf offense it relied on the timing of the pass. That high flying offense’s players were Faulk, Holt, Bruce, Hakim and even little Ricky Proehl that produced a ton of RAC. I believe that we have these very same components currently on the roster with Cook, Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, Shakir and/or Harty/Isabella. When running 12 personnel the TEs would be the beneficiaries of Barkley’s timing/anticipation. If the play begins with unsettledness, which seems to be the issue with K. Allen right now, one could just throw this offensive philosophy right out the window, it just won’t work. I like to think that Barkley does have value when thinking of this offensive scheme and that he’s just not here because he’s Josh’s buddy. Give me a minute to put on my flame ######ant suit before this post gets going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Knowing that Barkley and K. Allen will get the majority of preseason action, we the fans along with the coaches should have a pretty good idea by then if he is a “good fit” for the offense. Until then…we are talking about practice! 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I have not looked at Kyle Allen's college experience. This may be a case of a player needing to retrain muscle memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Kyle is playing himself out of a job that was basically handed to him since they want Barkley to be on the PS and have him there for his presence in the QB room and due to Allen liking him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 neither of these guys should be the guy in Josh goes down... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 If Josh can’t play then we’re screwed with either of them. It’s not really something I worry about for that reason. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they're both better than Skylar Thompson so we should have a chance if we get in the playoffs. 😏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Maybe pick up a vet who gets cut. Neither of them inspire any confidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Backup qb is definitely a weakness for this team. If either of these guys needs to start multiple games, we will need a dominant defense and running game to have any chance of winning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessie Palmer once asked Tom Coughlin when he landed the role of the bachelor in The Bachelorette " that he wouldn't do it if Coughlin thought it would hurt the team. (Paraphrasing)Coughlin responded, son if our success is determined by whether you're on the team we're in a world of *****. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Kyle Allen stinks. sorry, not sorry. Barkley equally as bad. both being equal, I’ll take Barkley because he’s kind of fat In an awesome kind of way. Kyle seems like a turd burglar imo 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bferra13 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Seruously, as said before they are both terrible and neither should be suiting up on Sundays in this league. Allen gets a little more slack from me though because he's younger and I already know Barkley is poop. Good guy, but you're in trouble if you need him in a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Defense Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Barkley will be the backup quarterback. He is more accurate, knows this offense well, and has the trust of the coaches. Allen will either be cut, if he does not start playing and practicing better, or on the practice squad. Right now it seems the former is going to happen--needs to look competent, and soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Part may still be Kyle learning the playbook and getting timing down with everyone. However, the snaps in the preseason are going to be interesting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
