Regarding the trick play - aside from calling it at that point of the game, the play itself was so weird/bad. You take the guy who gets the snap and has the attention of the defense - then have that guy run right at Allen so then when he gets it everyone is already focused on that area. The only thing I can think is that Van Noy blew it up so fast, that It was supposed to be more of a reverse with Josh continuing across the field, but with Van Noy right there he audibled and tried to go back to the left. At the snap Knox is lined up over Van Noy, but ignores him and runs to the right (and Dion subsequently totally whiffs on Van Noy) which also makes me think Knox's respnsibilty was blocking the back side for when Allen came around. Regardless - a complete mess all around. The all-22 also shows no one open downfield anyway. Put it in the basement of the Louvre.
I also think with Samuel the turf toe might still be an issue and sadly might be for a long while - as long as that is true I don't think we'll really get any meaningful production out of him.
