He was in on and a big reason we took the sack on the 4th and 1 and our last 3rd down in OT.... Whiffed miserably on one and didn't even block his man on the other... Please stop using Doyle in max protect. He's looked completely lost. He needs to be out on a pattern on EVERY pass play. You are absolutely 100% right on this. Thank God someone else noticed his all-around play. He had multiple whiffs/missed assignments that led to Luck getting pressured/blown up. Everybody seems to be all over Doyle's jockstrap but he is NOT a traditional, 3-down, inline TE in the NFL. Doyle is a serviceable receiving TE that excels in the flat and in the Red Zone. Unlike Allen, Doyle cannot beat a linebacker or a safety up the seam for a big play. Unlike Allen, you cannot consistently leave Doyle in one-on-one blocking situations, particularly if you're asking him to pass protect. The only TE on the team that is worse than Doyle when it comes to pass pro is Swoope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somewhere ovr the Waynebow Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 9 hours ago, southwest1 said: Good point. Doyle is a shining star at the TE spot who blocks, catches, & finds the end zone. Praise Jesus! I know; I know. Don't oversell it or jinx Jack for crying out loud. Touche. I'm really looking forward to finding out. I don't know if he is good or not - I think part of the reason he's done well is Allen is drawing the "number one" tight end coverage from the defense when indy is in two tight end sets. My gut (and watching all 22) says he is skilled. Not a huge fan of Griggles (Grigson) right now, but he deserves credit for picking up Doyle off of waivers from Tennessee.

CoachLite Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Allen probably suffered a high ankle sprain. His ankle sprain was probably so high, it extends clear up into his hands. These take a very long time to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a good game last night and looked good. With this injury we will see more of Doyle (which is a beast) and see what Swoope can do. He seems to be developing in his position very well and look forward to seeing if he can keep it up in the time he is given to play. So true CT. Of course i am rooting for Allen to play well for us this season but Swope did do some decent work out there. Looks like a good time to start our youth movement at this position and see what he has. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason we just can't put it all together. I'm real encouraged by that run blocking from that Houston game. We were clearing those boys out of there like it was nothing. A lot of indications show we may continue doing well on the ground which is great. Pass blocking was okay until later on . Offensive execution is better this year. Defense was good for about 3 quarters and then progressively melted down with the run defense. Play action tore us up from there.

I don't think they are better than Houston though. Especially on defense. The main part I worry about is Mariota running around. We have problems with the running Blake Bortles type of QB. They'll probably do a lot of the stuff Jacksonville did. Honestly there's good stuff on film against our D you can take from every game we've played. The opposition doesn't have to do a lot of risky stuff against our D so far. Just keep putting our guys in position to make tackles in open space and you have a winning formula.

Offense was in a peculiar position against the Jags because the entire right side of the line was playing with backups so it limited a lot of how we probably wanted to play. Austin Blythe was getting killed by Malik Jackson and everybody else. Haeg played okay at tackle. Somewhat up and down. The funny thing though is we still ran the football down their throats. Passing game was disrupted though, along with guys dropping the football. If we played Jax with the lineup we had against Houston I say we would have won. Water under the bridge now..........

We just have to keep playing and see where this thing ends up. Here's another thing that will effect the Texans. Kevin Johnson to me is their best shutdown corner. Now he's on IR: Texans | Kevin Johnson expected to land on IR Mon Oct 17, 03:47 PM Updating a previous story, Texans CB Kevin Johnson (foot) is expected to be placed on the Reserved/Injured list sometime this week after breaking his foot in a Week 6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Footballguys view: The Texans secondary is already banged up with Jonathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson injured as well. Losing Johnson is bad for this defense. It's especially bad as the team faces off against the Broncos (in Denver) on Monday Night Football in Week 7.
