Will Allen headed to IR
Will Allen headed to IR...

I am not surprised. In fact, I expected this.
His body is simply breaking down. Will's played thru some serious injuries the past few seasons. If nothing else, a year off will help his body fully recover. -

Sapp isn't as good as Will Allen. I know Allen is hurt, but it's another downgrade unless he surprises. Secondary is going to be our big weak spot again this year.
-
The trade for Sapp pretty much foreshadowed this.
Miami had no competitive incentive to put Allen on IR until now.Trowa likes this. -
Well, good move to get Sapp...Could be end of the line for Will Allen.
-
While this isn't really surprising at this point, can we ever have a 4-6 week injury??? It seems like every injury we have seems relatively minor at first and than a few weeks later they land on IR.
:pity: -
moving forward who fills his spot?
-
So who's available for us to pick up?
-
-
this really hurts but lets hope J.Allen continues to show his improvement and SS can learn to jump
-
Nathan Vasher was cut and in the one game I saw(this preseason) he played ok. And hes a return man I believe.

will allen out is not a good thing, it is a very bad thing. part of the fix just went out the window.

What?
the amazing Will Allen on IR. Just when everyone was dying for him to come back and be the magical starting CB. I've been telling people here he is not healthy and may never play for the Dolphins again. I think the guy is done honestly. -
I think it's too early to say they'll be torched all-season long. I'm not sure about that. There's a good chance but they have quite a bit of talent in that CB group. We'll see if it translates.

Here it is for you again, what almost every single person stated about Will Allen.
Now you just keep going on patting yourself on the back there killer. But let the record show that some of us know your act around hereCitizenSnips and Eop05 like this. -
Please let Channing Crowder get better and avoid the same fate as Will Allen.
-
So I had to remind them he may not be back this season and now he won't.
Looks pretty cut and dry to me. :up: -
Will Allen had actually started practicing and was said to be looking pretty damned good until he had a set back. Just because he had knee surgery, you wanted to write him off, and I have a feeling it's not because of his injury. It's because you think he isn't any good but again, when healthy Will Allen is a very good Cb.....Eop05 likes this. -
Ethan was a bit surprised and said Will was targeting Week 3 to return. It's possible that was realistic, but Will would still be playing hurt. He's done it for the last few years.
We'll never really know I guess. But I tend to think the scenario above is probably close to the truth. -

:(
I'm a big Will Allen fan as I feel he's one of the more underrated players in the game and his loss is big for us. Get better soon, Will! -
-
Sure is a bummer to see that Will is done for the year though. I had hoped we traded for Sapp because Carrol wasn't quite ready. Apparently its because Allen and Carrol arent ready to play this year. One for injury, one for lack of experience. -
You took it personal that we would DARE question SS24's ability in preseason going as far as using huge bolded colored text and criticizing and labeling us SS24 "Haters".
You then kept questionning: IF SS24 is so bad, what else could we do?!
We said: Well Will Allen is due back, or Benny Sapp, or........many of us recognized SS24's declining play after last season and would've made an offseason acquisition in case he continues to decline. Our FO had faith he would progress. He didn't! Will Allen is on IR and now we're stuck with a journeyman starting at CB. This is clearly the FO's fault.
-
Drew says that Will Allen will be ready to go in a few weeks, but the Dolphins felt like they couldn't wait on him and "needed" the roster spot now.

To be honest, I am so stoked that we got Sapp, I am almost ready to predict that he will be our other starting corner sooner rather than later. The guy has talent that he hasn't even touched yet.Pariah likes this. -
This front office kinda screwed Will Allen, for years beyond...but they are going to pay him for nothing.
Smart. (what dumbasses)
