i wouldnt care if he wasnt making 29 million dollars or whatever it is

 

he just has not done enough for that kind of money.  doyle is out producing him this year, and plenty of other dirt cheap players could do the same

No they couldn't

He was so wide open, even I could have caught those passes, but I'll give him kudos to wrestling away that pass in the endzone.

 

He runs good routes, and always has.  The drops have been an issue.  Health has been an issue.  If he rectifies those issues, then he's a top 10 NFL TE, easily.

Allen is set to make $29 mil for the next 4 years, right?

$2.5 mil now and 7.25 mil a year till 2020, right.?  

Doyle is not yet able to get his 1st big deal..but when he does, it will be more than $7.5 mil, agreed?

....Allen isn't making the big money yet, right? So technically....the 3 TDs last night don't count.

 

I know he's been hurt and his numbers are not great.

.....but he's a vet. Luck obviously trusts him.. I wouldn't resent the money he makes compared to Doyle.

That's just seniority..Doyle will get his money...and we need 3 tight ends...and they arent dirt cheap unless they're rookies or undrafted free agents.....I like the trio but Allen has earned his cash...He's started on 3 playoff teams....We have a very productive offense./.and Doyle and Allen..and the project Swoope.

 

I wish I could make you see how comparing players playing the same position on our own team when we need them both and often play both at the same time.....is counter productive....at  best

I agree, zibby....

Our coaches and our QB trust him....If he stays healthy....we are top shelf at that position

[AZColt11]

He apparently attended the WR only meeting.  LOL

[GoColtsWin]

As a fan whom has been critical of DA(a great dude) from time to time concerning availability/drops, I wanted to publicly say how proud of him I am for his effort in the Jets game. He deserves the credit. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come for DA. 

[achcolts]

I think Dwayne got his mojo and confidence back

[DougDew]

DA's OK, but Anthony Castanzo probably could've caught two of those TD passes.

[Flash7]

I just wanted to mention that the catch in the end zone by Dwayne Allen was an awesome catch, however, I think the throw by Luck was even better.

 

D. Allen was covered well, while running up the field. He was looking at Luck over his right shoulder, while the defender ran with him immediately to his right. Luck threw the ball to the left, (behind Allen) forcing him to turn around and catch the ball away from the defender. Allen made a great catch.

 

If you want to see Luck throw a receiver open, look no further than this play.

[King Colt]

Did he win The John Mackey Award in college?

[Defjamz26]

Played his tail off against the Jets. However I need to see it more. He gets a pat on the back for now but even Darius Heyward-Bey had some good games in Oakland and T-Rich had 100 yard games with the Browns. It's all about consistency.

Can'tblaocko I'm glad you brought him up

[azcolt]

Allen should gain 30 pounds and move inside. When he fell on that first int, he looked like an offensive tackle running, as he usually does. Good blocker, bad hands and clumsy.

i concur

[JColts72]

He's just right for this sad sack team. Over paid, and unable to catch on a consistent basis.

we need a left tackle who is fast footed and can block speed rushers

Sorry to say it myself. We need a left tackle that can handle one-on-one's. Don't see it from AC on a consistant basis. His play declines when JM isn't next to him. I don't know if Jack is covering up for him.  We all can see the decline in play though.

Trade him(Allen), while there still some value left.

[IinD]

Yeah the shine has definitely warn off on him.

 

He's average at best.

[1959Colts]

One of the clumsiest looking TEs I have ever seen

100% agree. Looks like his feet are stuck in mud most times.

Make him into a left tackle or right tackle  his hands could be of some use on the line

Didn't Allen allow the strip sack on Luck today... I am thinking Allen is trash no matter where he plays. 

[John Waylon]

Juuuuuuust when we hoped he might finally get going....

[RockThatBlue]

Dude goes from 3 TDs to not even catching a pass in the same week.

I don't even blame Allen for that one. He should have never been allowed to go 1 on 1 with Clowney. That was a terrible idea.

Yeah right, who would trade for a player thats been terrible for 90% of the season?

 

He was dominant against the Jets, had 2 other solid/decent games, and was awful and basically invisible for a majority of the other 9-10 games. We would be lucky to get a water boy for DA in a trade right now.

[NeedsADefence]

uhhh he sucks

[lollygagger8]

At this point, I'd rather see more Doyle and Swoope. 

[a06cc]

No way can all the blame go to Allen for that sack. He shouldn't have to block Clowney 1-on-1That should've been a TE and LT responsibility.

Yeah I'm not sure who that would fall on, Luck, coaching, ect.  That was clearly a terrible mismatch that should've been dealt with before the play.  I was on the other hand ticked off that Allen didn't just pounce on the fumble.  I'd understand if it was Jason Witten but Allen doesn't have that capability to deal with Clowney.
