Dwayne Allen

[captain stone]

...Because skill position players have historically had trouble learning our system, we should highly value players that have already successfully learned it and had success.

That is the very reason why Bill should've drafted Golden Tate, and yet...

Will he catch his first pass tonight?

I doubt it.

Will he catch his first pass tonight?

I doubt it.

This time for sure!

Tonight, a sleeping giant awakes.

He'll catch the clap first...

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Midway throught he 2nd quarter he's already matched his catches per game pace.

Consistency is key.

Unfortunately we don't develop young WRs well in New England. We tend to trade for the good ones. Look at the success of the Moss, Welker, and Cooks trades.

Tate would probably have been a bust in New England. I don't know why we can't develop our own young receivers, fact is we just don't.

As for Allen, he is a role player. Good insurance but that's about it. We do better drafting Tight Ends, I wish we had rolled the dice on guys like Kelce, Ertz, ASJ, etc. But we have the best TE in the league when he's healthy. So it's hard to complain, I just wish we had more talent at the 2nd string TE position.

How did he do this game?

Edelman
Branch
Givens

Three receivers in twenty years is pretty bad.

 

[VegasGuy]

How did he do this game?

Don't recall hearing his name all night. Not even for a nice block.

Did he even play?

 

[PatsDeb]

Allen is clearly "OTL" with Brady ("off the list" - the designation in my house we give to bad restaurants that we try once and will never return to after our bad experience). I guess we will just have an expensive blocker for the year.

 

[Sciz]

20 snaps for Allen, compared to Hollister’s 1.

Allen can be disappointing while still clearly being the second best tight end on the roster. I’m not sure why people seem to have such a hard time reconciling the two.

He had a major whiff on a trap block at 11:40-ish in Q1. It resulted in Lewis getting stuffed. Brady barely had time to get the handoff completed. Solder got flagged for holding on the same play.

 

[PatsFan2]

Is it possible for a player with the amount of snaps Allen plays each game to finish the season with 0 Rec - 0 Yards - 0 TD ??
Taking bets.

They were running, and trying to impose their will via the ground game, last night. If that had been a TE passfest, those numbers would almost certainly have been much different.

Perhaps because he blows...

Because his cap hit is the 8th highest on the team

I wouldn't be surprised if brady never targets him again. Brady does not like Allen.
