Part of the problem here though is that they are trying to make a young John Elway be a seasoned Tom Brady with this offense. People don't want to hear it but he's not ready to run this style of offense efficiently. When he will be I don't know. They are committed to it this season due to personnel decisions......... unless they make a move for a big field stretching/contested ball winning WR like AJ Green. But right now they are making Allen execute long drives when his skillset SCREAMS big plays. Stretch the defense vertically and hit them with the run. Currently the net result is a lot of encouraging plays to hang your hat on and say "maybe Josh can do this" but a TON of turnovers and few points. Playing this offense is Sean McDermott's defensive dream........tons of opportunities for game changing mistakes...........very little threat of big play. It feels like this offense is doing something.....but it's not.........it's just fiddling around until late in the game when Josh can run around and make plays against a tired opponent. And it sure seems that in reigning him in he's lost his touch on the throws that make him special. Disagree to an extent in that he HAS had plenty of deep-shot chances, and he has taken them, and often enough guys have been open. He's just been abjectly failing to date.

MAJBobby Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Based on his participation in individual drills today would say I would say he is in Stage 4 of the protocol. Football Specific Activities. The player continues cardiovascular, strength and balance training and participates in non-contact football activities. Next Step to be fully cleared Friday and will play Sunday. 1

He will also have different habits. Allen might chuck the deep ball where Barkley might just dump it off for instance. Allen might try to take off and run where Barkley might stand and deliver. Defenses have to approach these QBs differently because they have different styles. It’s not just about playbooks. Most of the NFL has the same playbooks.

I also love that Tenn has to prepare for both Barkley and Allen. Although I’m not totally sure what more or different you would have to prepare for Barkley than Allen.

I’m not sure whose dream it is - I’ve been wondering aloud whether Daboll wants to prove to the league he knows how to implement the New England offense, so as to set himself up for a head coaching opportunity this offseason - the Belichick coaching tree keeps getting hired, he may be trying to strike while the iron is hot.

If Tenn is smart they should be Preparing for the better QB and that is Allen, easier to adjust to Barkley than the other way around 1 1

That’s what I mean. Prepare for Allen. The offensive game plan has been a ton of underneath routes so far. This is what I would think Barkley would excel at, if anything.

More troublesome to me is his unwillingness to go up tempo for long stretches. Josh seems to enjoy and do well with that.
