Allen tied for 5th lowest checkdown rate in NFL

[Big Turk]

Only 4.6% of his throws are checkdown, tied with Mayfield as the lowest in the NFL...nice disparity between all the Captain Checkdowns we have had over the years.

 

Surprised Tua isn't in the highest...he actually is second lowest.

 

Also hilarious Carr is in the highest category because Patriots doubled his checkdown repeatedly in their last game they played and Carr didn't know what to do 😂

Not surprising as JA is always looking to get downfield.  It also seems that there were not a ton of designed checkdown options.

Yes...I think honestly because Allen's checkdown option often times is to use his legs and I think it was designed like that...all routes are deeper meaning that defenders have to drop deeper and Allen has more room to roam.

 

I think the addition of Cook changes that a little. He is a threat to take screens and swings to the house.

Yeah, I think JA’s mentality is that a six or seven yard pass is a checkdown. Speaking of which I did not see how PFF designated what is a checkdown.

Wow, tied for the worst.   Cut him.  
 

I’m so sick of him not adapting to a west coast offense.  Take each play 3 yards at a time, stop trying to be hero.  
 

Sure, it’s cool to not punt and score 40+ a game.  But imagine long drives in games we may win by 3 points.  
 

Bring back Trent!

It’s gonna go up this year defenses are going to allow it like they did last year but we didn’t have the backs to hurt them.

 

Time to Cook

I would imagine a back out of the backfield or a player sitting down within 3-4 yards of the LOS, but not sure what they define it as.

Excellent post

[Logic]

I always think back to one particular play — I wish I could remember what game it was — where Allen has forever in the pocket, so he looks, looks, looks downfield, and nothing is open, so he finally checks it down to Singletary…but the WAY he checks it down. He throws the ball incredibly hard and puts his whole body into it. His body language just screams “annoyed”. Like he seemed so angry that he had to check it down.

 

If I can find the play, I’ll post it here.

Allen doesn't take that many hard hits...he usually gets out of bounds or avoids hits well

What's more impressive is that its that low after two NE games where he had to check down a lot! Lol
