Mike in Horseheads Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Why not make him the punter to free up a roster spot? 1 1
Scott7975 Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 This sounds like something Daboll would dream up on 4th and inches. You don't put your franchise QB out there on a punt. Good way to get him killed.
MiltonWaddams Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Maybe we should just punt....the OP outta here.... 1

He's a great runner and tough to bring down. 🤫 This is what I thought the post was going to be. Don’t know that I’m relieved to read what it actually was. Have we jumped the shark in week 1?

Think about what that name means as far as that guy's primary responsibility on a punt, and whether you want our QB playing that role. I mean obviously they would scheme it in a way that Allen isn’t at risk of getting hit, I’m not suggesting he stays in to block a punt rush. I guess what I’m thinking is you’re basically running a regular offensive play with Haak in as an option in case the play isn’t there scheme wise. 1

So without that blocker we just end up with a lot more blocked punts (and probably injured punters) with your “plan” then. Seems legit. What else have you schemed up?
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 Love the originality OP, but I think this guy is who we need at the “personal protector” spot: 2

They run it on the jet sweep and lateral to the punter to punt it down. Basically an option play with the punter as a part of it. Keep Allen out of it completely if you want. Or teach a qb that couldn’t quite make it to punt and carry them as a dedicated special team player for 4th downs inside the 45.

Sounds like you’re trying to apply high-school/D3 trick play garbage (or rugby? Lol) to the NFL.
machine gun kelly Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 While we’re at it, I think we should work this into the game… Josh can do it, he’s Super Allen. Dude, seriously put down the scotch bottle.
Thurman#1 Posted September 19, 2021 Posted September 19, 2021 5 hours ago, HardyBoy said: On punts inside the 50, where Allen plays the guy between the snapper and the punter. Then put McKenzie in one gunner spot Kumero at the other and run a jet sweep. If the play is there, they snap it to Josh, if not Haak does a pooch punt and pins them inside the 20, or bashes it through the end zone. Are there motion rules if you kick a punt that are different from regular plays? And he could also return kicks, because he's obviously a good runner and he could throw laterals across the field hard and fast. Yeah, we're really onto something here. Maybe even play some linebacker.
