Im a little surprised about Jason Allen, he was playing pretty well for us at the end of last season. A little shocked to see him fighting for a spot. Im not so shocked on the Roth news though, as im sure many others aren't either.
Doesn't make much sense to me either. Especially when you consider that Bell and Hill are still fighting back from injury. Then again, this is Armando reporting.
Even if these guys thought Jason Allen was something special, they might treat him exactly the way they are treating him. Look at the situation with JT. Guys have to earn their stripes under this regime. Perhaps they just want to see Allen rise to the challenge. Handing young guys starting jobs can sometimes be a great way to have them digress.
Good news if Yeremiah really does look good coming off the achilles. That would be a big boost. Bad news that for some reason they're not high on Jason Allen. But, then again, they could just be trying to provoke him to keep earning it every day.
You'd think they wouldnt have Bell and Allen playing the same position. I'd guess they are our two best Safties. I'd like to see Allen at FS and Bell at SS
I think Jason Allen's problem is that he's not real bright. Given enough time to learn a system he could be fine, in fact very good, but it seems like whenever the system is changed he takes longer than everybody to figure out what he' supposed to do.
I'm just posting the writers blogs on the Phins. If you don't want to read about the JT saga don't click on the thread.
LOL at Armando... Not defending Roth here, he was a no show last year, but I'd love to see him confront Armando on his word choice...
May be but could this also have a negative influence on Allen? If they keep bringing him down like this, will it have damage to his confidence level? He could be thinking, " What the hell? I finally get my time last year and I play pretty well and now I am right back at square one."
