RiotAct Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Play fearless... handing the ball off 30+ times with one of the better run-blocking O Lines in the league playing against one of the worst defensive units against the run.
Big Turk Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 Hard to play fearless when you are not being coached fearless
LSHMEAB Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) This really should have been the approach from the beginning IMO. Asking a QB like Allen to focus on minimizing mistakes was never going to work. And if you think that's speculation, Daboll's sideline tirade after a pick/fumble(can't remember which) is exhibit A as to how they've been coaching him. He's a big boy so he should be able to handle that in the grand scheme of things, but the entire offensive ideology has to change if it's ever going to work with JA. Just saw this thread/blurb and it was somewhat "refreshing" because I've considered this a problem for a while now. We'll see if any of it actually has an effect on the field, but it would be a nice departure. Edited November 16, 2019 by LSHMEAB 1

To many players, the opposite of "play fearless[ly]" is not "hesitate" and "overthink" but "play with discipline." As far as I can see, the only one who needs to hear the "fearless" message is Allen. Daboll, Mr. "Let's throw downfield into double coverage to a slot receiver on third and short" and "Let's throw it 41 times" is already fearless enough, albeit in the worst sense. By the way, all of us who think Allen does need to play with less fear need to be ready to tolerate the downside that will come from the upside. But I'll take the Allen of late last season, an exciting player who's just as capable of an incredible play as an interception, over a neutered, ineffective game manager who frankly is boring to watch. Let him shine and mess up. Everyone else (except Haushka and Daboll), stay the course. Good post. Lorenzo's quote is best Play to make plays, not limit mistakes. Hopefully the discipline is muscle memory for most players by now and loosing the reins from Coach does not mean a chugging contest lol. its just a set of words. i would have preferred "lets get after it " should be a fun game. expecting some risk taking from Josh and Daboll, some blitzing and some mistakes.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted November 16, 2019 Posted November 16, 2019 ...seriously?....we now need coach's messages as to how to play the "high paying big boyz game"?......maybe seances or ouija board sessions next?......just go play the effin' game for 60 minutes that you're getting paid megabucks to do so....softer than the Lingerie League...SMH......

They gave Josh more responsibilities at the line and allowed him to check in and out of plays. was about playing smart and with discipline likely. perhaps now his brain is seeing what he needs to see. He graduated defensive awareness 101B now he is going to take Offensive aggression 201A ? you are on point about Daboll and his Coaching, always a good post from you 4 minutes ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...seriously?....we now need coach's messages as to how to play the "high paying big boyz game"?......maybe seances or ouija board sessions next?......just go play the effin' game for 60 minutes that you're getting paid megabucks to do so....softer than the Lingerie League...SMH...... you are grumpy again aren't you ? : ) 1

But but but but... I don’t think Allen is horrible at all but it’s insane all the excuses made for the highest drafted qb not being about to dominate a game when rookies who weren’t drafted can.
