‘“I think he just continues to find ways to explore different types of plays, he’s constantly watching film from college, other NFL games and even sometimes high school games,” Allen said. “He’s got a knack for it, of just finding good play calls and switching things up where teams maybe lose focus on one guy and then bring them in or focus too much on the other guy.
