Gronkowski Feels Like Allen is "Going to Turn The Corner Soon"

Ian Logue

It's been a rough start for newcomer Dwayne Allen, with the tight end having seen a difficult time getting acclimated to the offense.

Well he got a Gronk co sign so hopefully soon we could use Allen

 

[Bradyking12]

Once Dorsett and Allen kick in game over especially Dorsett, I can see it now, Cooks and Dorsett running the seam, Amendola running the slot, Hogan in the middle and Gronk getting double teamed so many options especially with our backs we will repeat

 

[ScottishPatriots]

Pretty sure they were saying that about Allen in Indianapolis since his rookie year, i'm not holding my breath, he's just not very good.

Tough to get out of Brady's doghouse once you're in

 

[NormZauchin]

I hope Allen uses his turn signal.

"Oh yeah, I'm turning, baby!"

 

[New England Pride]

Who will turn the corner first, Chad Johnson or Dwayne Allen?

 

[fnordcircle]

I'm rooting for Allen but I mean, what's Gronk going to say? "Dude, for real Allen sucks and we all hate him."

To the extent that's true it doesn't exactly say great things about Brady.

Gronk and Brady needs to spend most of their bye time with Allen.

Gronk and Brady needs to spend most of their bye time with Allen.

Brady should spend some extra time with Dorsett as well, once Dorsett gets up to speed you won't have a clue

 

[mgteich]

Sure.

However, it is a matter of priorities. Dorsett could improve by 500% and I'm not sure we'd notice much. He is the #4 WR on a team with Gronk and White as additional receivers. One could check, but the #4 receiver doesn't get many opportunities or receptions.

On the other hand Allen needs to be able to be the #2 TE AND also be able to step in if Gronk is injured.

Brady should spend some extra time with Dorsett as well, once Dorsett gets up to speed you won't have a clue

To the extent that's true it doesn't exactly say great things about Brady.

I hope we aren't placing blame on Brady now as the reason Allen has been a disappointment so far. The guy runs wrong routes and can't track the ball.

 

[Betterthanmost]

This is true. When I first saw the title, I questioned why Gronk will be talking about Ryan Allen. I had completely forgotten that we have another TE called Allen.

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Since Allen isn’t a passing threat at all, they might as well put in another Tackle in at TE

That was done against the jets. Waddle came in when additional line help was needed. In addition, Develin provided lots of blocking help.

But that is part of the point. It would be useful for Allen to be able to contribute if Gronk is out, and even a little bit when Gronk is healthy. Gronk thinks Allen is working his butt off. My suggestion is that Gronk and Brady could spend a lot of time with Allen during the break.

Yeah that comment you quoted didn’t make sense. It doesn’t say great things about Brady because he’s not forcing the ball to a guy who can’t even get on the field?

 

[captain stone]

Since Allen isn’t a passing threat at all, they might as well put in another Tackle in at TE...

…and give all of the rest of the snaps to Develin.
