I’ve been on the Allen bandwagon all year and when it looked like Tucker was hurting couldn’t understand him not playing more.

One thing I noticed during the year was he’s as good a WR as we have.  He’s had some really fantastic catches our other WR’s (not named Gadsden) routinely drop.  I forget the game but he had a catch on the left sideline, over his shoulder with a defender all over him.  I seriously think he could end up passing Tucker in total yards.

Someone said yesterday they didn’t think he had that extra gear, someone else said he ran to straight up.  I disagree with that.
To me he looked like he struggled with the field conditions.  He had the one catch out to the left early in the game with a chance at big yards and slipped on the field.  Later in the game he ran pretty straight up and kind of tentatively but still had a ~12 yard gain to the left hand side.  He ran like he was trying to make sure he didn’t slip and fall IMO.

I think Beck will use him next year all over the field the Anae started the year using Tucker and then stopped for big stretches.  Allen is a far better pass catcher than Tucker, I think we’ve got another special back for next year and I hope we can hold on to him.
