Elky Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Good. He was worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InBillWeTrust Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 As a receiver, yes, but he was an excellent blocker. Rewatch the Burkhead TD that won the game in KC in OT or the only TD in the Super Bowl. Allen made great blocks on both. That said, a blocking TE cannot make 7 million/ year.

atown703 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 He doesn't get the credit he deserves because he's not a pass catcher. You can't take away that he is a top 5 run blocking TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Saints need a blocking TE desperately and Payton already said they want one before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nex_Gen Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thanks for all the blocks and limiting the cap space Dwayne. It's been real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Allen was a plus blocker, just cost way too much. He was a serviceable pass catcher in Indy, just assume he never gelled in NE enough to get more looks in the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patman Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Good luck to him, I hope to have him back at 2 mill, but if not thanks for the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume the injuries caught up to him. he made a lot of his catches with athletic ability in Indy but his hands were never great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They liked to throw the ball to the full back than to Allen Hard to figure, sometimes former great pass catching tightends, become blocking tightends in New England—they still play, but they don’t catch passes. Happened to Alge Crumpler too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
