Allen doesn’t really look like a running back to me. He moves in slow motion before he can get going

Maybe if his name was Denise instead of Dennis.

It reminds me of Dayne's disappointing second season. He's not hitting the hole fast and he takes too much contact at or behind the line of scrimmage. He needs to watch how Guerendo accelerates to the hole and do that more. Some of it is on the blocking of course, but Allen is compounding the problem. Like Dayne, it's also possible that he has bulked up a little too much. Unlike Dayne, it's all muscle, but it still may be costing him some explosiveness.
That said, I'm not nearly as worried about his athleticism as I am about his instincts, football sense, and field vision. He's patient, but being patient for the sake of being patient accomplishes nothing if you're not making the right reads. If anything, it just makes you too slow to the line of scrimmage, which we saw over and over again yesterday. Against a defense like that, you have to accept the importance of taking your 0-2 yards when you have to, instead of taking a loss because you're looking for 5+ yards every time.
Wut we've got here is... faaailure... to communakate.

Well said , I think he lacks the instincts , he is a powerful back but doesn't have any wiggle . purely a north south runner ! I think he will look back and think that his path to the NFL would have had a better shot as a linebacker not running back !
That being said it starts up front and our oline just got hammered! Beginning to think that from guard to guard we are too tall and slow and they just don't get the push because they are getting blown up half the time ( pad level ) I guess they are a young group and need to hit the weight room , not sold on strength and conditioning coach , it seems to me that its part of the decline of that unit over the last few years !

With the portal recruiting never stops. Lots of tampering.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
