Unsung Hero: Ryan Allen

[Boomer B]

The D, Edelman, etc...will get a lot of the spotlight right now (and rightfully so) but how about Ryan Allen consistently dropping punts well inside the 20. Winning the field position battle was a big key to this win.

Great job Ryan Allen!

Now tied with Ray Guy with the most SB rings (3) of any punter in NFL history

Yeah, keeping the Rams inside the 20 most times was big. Made the pressure big because not only did they have to deal with the Pats blitzing, but also worry about getting pushed back for a safety.

Allen and Slater had an epic game together.

Both punters were amazing. As good as Allen was thought heeker was better

true...but really edelman had some bad decisions on the punt returns, and our coverage played horribly trying to keep the gunners off of him

Hekker or however you spell his name was in consistently tougher positions and had some really great punts. He was amAzing.

In the words of Rich Eisen, "punters are people too"

Both punters were amazing. It was good to see an under appreciated part of the game get a little recognition.

If ever a *punter* deserved MVP, it was tonight.

 

[Brick27]

Allen was great and about any other circumstance he’d probably be getting more praise. It just happened that Hekker had an all-time great game as well and showed why he’s a 6x all-pro.

Good seeing you around. Celebrate!

Thanks Reamer. Great night tonight. Congrats to all of you who have been around all year. You all deserve this.

I don't remember Ryan Allen having punts with such good back spin in any previous game.

Had the Rams won, the MVP should’ve gone to Johnny Hekker. No doubt.
