shoshin Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 They don’t need it so why risk it? Expect to see him use all the tools vs KC.

I still have an ambition to riff on Mitch Morse comments “I think it means Daboll is a lunatic, if you know what I mean” by creating a highlight video to the tune of “Lunatic Fringe” Life alas interferes, but it would be super-cool 1

So there’s different recipes for winning in this league. Some teams throw for 300+ every other week and lose often.
Don Otreply Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 As a starter, Josh had no need to during the raiders game, the play calling was very good, and the raiders by and large had no answers for the passing game. Go Bills!!!

The Browns are 3-1 with wins vs. Bengals, Washington & Dallas (not exactly a murderers row). Their one loss was badly to Baltimore. Next two weeks will be a little more difficult.
Mat68 Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Hes the franchise. If Allen gets hurt running Qb dive in the second quarter of a game in October just fire the staff. Allen runs enough off script, and they put enough tape out there for defenses to account for his running.
JMF2006 Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 I see two main reasons: 1) WR group is better and they get open 2) Our franchise QB has arrived and he looks down field stays in the pocket and uses his legs to roll out to a better throwing spot. He reads defenses better and has more confidence.
stuvian Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 I like the fact that he's making his living as a passer
Hebert19 Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 My take 1. Designed runs will come when they are needed. Lull them to sleep then have allen blow up in a game like KC. 2. Hes got open receivers every damn play for the most part. He doesn't need to scramble.

I'm OK with being a bit erratic it is a nice quirk, not all of us can be perfect...I said what I meant in the context of the thread. Methinks you were reading into what I wrote to fit your narrative. No worries man.....for a better take on what I think about JA running the ball I present this from the Olean Times Herald. Sums it up perhaps a little less erratically.... One of the main criticisms of Allen’s first two seasons was that he ran too much – over seven times per game – and though he averaged nearly six yards per carry and had an impressive 17 touchdowns, he took some big hits and had more than his share of fumbles. And when he opened this season with a career-high 14 carries, it didn’t appear any lesson had been learned, especially with two lost fumbles. But, since then, Allen has averaged a mere four carries per game and the main reason is that he’s become such a proficient passer. Suddenly, Daboll doesn’t have to make as many called runs for his QB and Allen hasn’t been forced to scramble nearly as much.
Brennan Huff Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 It was one game. I wouldn’t be shocked if he ran the ball more this week against Tennessee
Hampton Josh fan Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Why run when the guy throws darts and running is when bad things happen, fumbles and injury. Having said that, you can be sure Josh will still run when the game situation and opportunities present themselves. The offense is just so explosive with these receivers and Motor running the ball. Allen is seeing the field so well and moving in the pocket until crossing patterns open up. I am waiting to see how Bellicek defenses Allen. When we score 30 against NE, the NFL will take notice.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 1. The passing game is working so well 2. Avoid injury 3. Avoid fumbles 4. As others said, it is still a threat and Daboll will use it later in the season 1
PrimeTime101 Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 when defenses stop having dedicated spies on Josh he will run a bit more again. with them spying on josh its one less blitz one less man in coverage 1

And only 288 yesterday......😡 Expect more from Allen!!!!😜 AAagreed and that is an integral part of his style of play. May be they are stashing it for the more difficult teams

TheyCallMeAndy Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Carson Wentz is a shell of himself due to injures. Keep Josh healthy please!
