Anthony Allen

[K-Dog]

I had such high hopes for him since the pre season. I thought he was going to be a real bowling ball. I was excited to see him on the field, but disappointed in the lack of real yards. Leach was blocking wasnt he ?

I assume Leach was still in there blocking but Anthony Allen had very little work so I wouldn't judge him on that performance. At least he got positive yards on each carry.

Its a little early to start doubting the 7th round pick. He played at garbage time against a defense that had been embarrassed and was angry, I wouldnt put much stock into his lack of production. He along with all the rookies are still learning playbooks and adjusting to life as Pro Athletes.

We also had the 2nd offensive line in, and all we did was run dives. Dives are designed to get 3-4 yards, and the defense was expecting a run each time considering that there were two minutes late. Allen's fine

[RivenHale]

Don't forget, everyone and their mother was expecting run by that point. The Rams definitely stacked the box on him.


FAKE EDIT: Yeah, what The Raven said.

They also had Mattison and Jah Reid in on the Oline. It's nothing to be disappointed with anyway, he was able to pound it through for 8 yards on those 3 carries.

We were up by 30 points and they knew we were running clock down. I think he did just fine.

u cant judge Allen off 3 or 4 rushes in garbage time..next year or if smething happens to Ricky we will see him a lot more...Allen runs hard and is tough to bring down..Im excited to watch him grow

This sounds a lot like people judging torrey smith a bust after 2 preseason games in a lockout season....and we all see how that worked out...

Allen did his 3rd string job and held onto the ball. That's about all you can ask for.

He only ran for a few times, plus our o line was playing their heart out either. Im a big fan of Allen and think he should be our number 2
