Doc Brown Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Tyrod Taylor would be in the HOF if he only played the Dolphins. I'm hoping their struggles against mobile quarterbacks continue. 2 1

Any more what ifs? They definitely didn't early in the season, but in the past three weeks, our WRs have done a markedly better job of creating separation since we've injected speed into the corps with mckenzie and foster. You also saw a commitment to a PA scheme base with Allen and a three level passing concept. One could even argue that the PA rollout/bootlegs with three level passing don't provide receivers much in the way of separation as all of their routes eventually need to work over to one-half of the field at different levels of the defense. While I'm happy we have Allen and do like the overall progress he's demonstrated, there's still more unknowns than knowns regarding Allen's capacity to handle reads - on one hand it's a lot to ask a rookie to read a defense pre-snap, turn his back to fake a handoff, and turn around and re-read given the pre-snap look and what's unfolded since. That's not easy to do yet Allen seems to handle it well. However, what it also does is allow him to hold on to the ball longer to address these plays, that often end up as half-field reads which are much easier for a rookie to make. So based upon that dichotomy, it's hard to tell where he's developing the most from a fan perspective. To your point, I would love to get this kid a real set of passing catching receivers, tight end included, to see what he's really made of and hopefully accelerate his development as well. 1
