Bill51390 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Thoughts and opinions? It may be time to start looking elsewhere. He has definitely underperformed and hasn’t played to the level we expected. 3 4 8 2 Quote
RoyBatty is alive Posted January 22 Posted January 22 (edited) Disagree. He may not have lived up to YOUR expectations but he is a strength, not a weakness. He is only 23 and with our DL rotation, he is not likely to build up massive stats. Edited January 22 by RoyBatty is alive 5 5 1 Quote
HomeskillitMoorman Posted January 22 Posted January 22 He's a Mid. Just like most of the guys on our D-line are. All those resources poured in for nothing when it matters. 3 6 1 2 Quote
Bangarang Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Good against the run but not a consistent pass rusher. Said it all along that he’s not a guy that’s going to win off the edge and get to the QB with any kind of regularity. He’s a good player for what he is though. 2 Quote
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 22 Posted January 22 He’s good. Hasn’t taken that next step yet. Very good all around player. 1 Quote
CaptnCoke11 Posted January 22 Posted January 22 He’s an average DE in the league. Lots of players like him. 1 2 Quote
strive_for_five_guy Posted January 22 Posted January 22 I’d pick up the 5th year option on the guy. He’s flashed at moments, feel like he might end up like Oliver and have a real breakout in a year or two. We need some edge rushers in their prime versus just starting over in the draft only. 1 Quote
T.E. Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Picking him and Boogie Basham 1 and 2 that year was why we got to watch Trent Sherfield play meaningful minutes while dropping multiple bombs last night. Criminal how little they've built around Allen. 3 3 2 Quote

He has definitely underperformed and hasn’t played to the level we expected. He has regressed in the pass rush department. They need a big offseason improvement from him because they aren't likely to field the kind of depth he is used to having behind him in reserve. Need an Ed Oliver type elevation of performance. 1 Quote

Criminal how little they've built around Allen. I'm not sure how this ties to our WR situation as there werent any WRs we passed on with those picks. The missed pick was Basham over Creed Humphrey. Unless you are saying we could have already moved on from Morse and used that money to sign better WRs. But we didnt have any problem throwing money at WR this year with the Harty and Sherfield signings. So I'm confused on the details here. Quote
TheyCallMeAndy Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Above average run defender, mediocre sack output. 2 Quote

I believe Rousseau is capable of that. We'll see if it pans out. Folks also have to remember, this is the talent we get picking so late in the 1st. We have to be lucky to strike gold, otherwise the player would already have been picked in the top 10. Rousseau is a good all-around player drafted 30th overall. 1 1 Quote

I think we will get a better idea of his value next year. Floyd had a great year opposite him. He will likely have a lesser partner next year and will have to take a big step. If he makes that step you pay him. If he is still just a guy, then you have a tougher call on his value. Quote
