22 rushes already this year, after 6 games? Is that right? At this rate he's on pace for over 60 rushes this year.

 

Already? That is the wrong word. 

 

That would be half the attempts he has had over each of the last two seasons. He had over 120 in each of the last two years. 
 

Allen needs to run more IMO. He should be hitting about 90-100 attempts on the year in a 17 game season.  He needs to dial it back some, but taking away 20-30 attempts is the proper dialing it back IMO.

Isn't that what we wanted as fans though to protect his longevity in the league?

 

I don't want a broken JA17 in his early 30's like Cam Newton.

I was never one of those fans. Allen is at his best when he is unleashed and runs when he wants to. Our best chance at a Lombardi is with an unleashed Allen. As long as he goes fully unleashed in the playoffs hopefully we will be okay.

I’m more concerned about how he injured his shoulder yesterday… trying to make a throw when he’d typically scramble.

Allen is clearly more hesitant to run the ball this year. After a few weird looking runs in that Jets game its like they got in his head and told him to stop it. 

 

2023: 22 for 131

2022: 47 for 257

2021: 44 for 214

2020: 37 for 143

2019: 45 for 190

 

You should clarify these numbers re all adjusted for after 6 games.

Ah, I gotcha. I thought the other years were his totals over the entire season, not just to the same point in the season.
