LeQuint Allen: Jaguars

[OrangeAl]

Bucky Irving clearly has a burst Tucker isn't showing. Still, would like to see Tucker get a real shot. Seems like he's rotting away on that bench.

That means he hasn't taken many hits. Maybe his next stop is where he flourishes.

I can think of worse ways to rot

Hopefully he gets more opportunities. Seems he is taking advantage of every one he gets. Hard to watch him & Tucker be underutilized.

LQA is young for the NFL. Just turned 21. He is doing quite well. Seems to be their 3rd-down back, likely due to his pass protection proficiency. And hard to quibble, Travis Etienne is averaging 98-99 ypg rushing. LQA's time is coming.

LQA’s blocking efforts will be sorely missed.

Not sexy right but I guarantee you that both Lawrence and Coen sure as heck love that. Keeping the QB healthy and protected is big. Oline likes a guy like that as well. Helps them look good. Plus adding value by jumping on fumbles (not his), flashing run and catch and playing specials. He is building a reputation and guys like that often follow coaches to other teams, therefore having a nice extended career.

Here’s how ridiculously good his pass pro is. I don’t think he played more than a half dozen snaps tonight, but he was in on the final drive once they got to the red zone and running was not an option.

Jags knew KC was bringing heat, so the staff put him in and he picked up consecutive blitzers.

That’s crazy confidence by the staff on a rookie…and he stepped up.

It’s such a joy to watch. Jaguars have so many explosive players. I think it’s only a matter of time that they open up the playbook to get Lequint involved more with the ball. Perhaps he doesn’t have breakaway speed, but he can be reliable picking up short to medium yards rushing or receiving. But yeah when they are throwing the ball and need a back in the backfield for blocking, Lequint gets the call all day and everyday, just has that instinct and toughness to do it.

We talk about the lack of "breakaway speed", and I agree. That being said, I was kind of (pleasantly) shocked watching him return kicks last night. He had a burst that was pretty impressive.

His HC said last week, when asked about LQA’s pass protection proficiency, said that his protection schemes in college have similarities to what the Jags run, so he had an excellent foundation. And then there is the fact LQA will block anybody. Literally. Like for instance (couple mentions here):

He’s joined alongside Dontae Strickland on my shortlist of most lovable Orangemen of the past 30 years.

That'd be an interesting thread and I'd say 20 vs 30 but he's up there with Shamarko for me. Heart of a lion

Both RBs from NJ

That is a very valuable skill that every team wants...it is not easy to read exactly who and where an RB needs to block. He is one of the best at that...see how he scans the entire line and is always squared up whether he blocks straight ahead or shifts to opposite end, he will have a long nfl career.

Didn't Babers have the RBs call the blocking scheme at one point? Am I making that up?

 

[atlanticuse]

He was at the game today. Super nice.

No, you're not making it up. Having the RBs do it was part of the strategy for going up tempo.

Definitely is helping him at the next level.

 

[sufandu]

I don't know if they were still doing it when he was here because the offense had changed. We weren't running near as much tempo. But if we were, it seems to have helped him.

That's some good leadership and communication there.

Please give LaQuint more run so I can pick him up in my fantasy league!! Losing Skattabo hurt my RB depth. Scraping and clawing for the playoffs with 5 of my top 8 draft picks either out or on IR.
