Funkyalligator Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Good ol' Terry Allen, the man with bionic knees bounces back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 It's amazing that guys like Terry Allen and Emmitt Smith are still going. I was sure both would be out of the league by two years ago. Tough guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Gotta love the guy. Nobody's got a bigger heart!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I woulda liked to seen us pick him up for a year at vet min, just in case Betts is another one of Cerrato's laid eggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlanta Skins Fan Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 ...the Washington Redskins. Here's what the ESPN transactions page says (in error): Washington Redskins: Signed running back Terry Allen, who had been with the Baltimore Ravens, to a one-year contract. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/transactions It will probably be corrected by the time you read this. (ESPN's NFL home page has the story correct.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbear Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 I keep cheering for Terry Allen. Stephen Davis has been great here, but I think Terry Allen is the one who reinstituted the Washington tradition of good RB play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Terry as a backup to Davis would be $$ though. Except he can't have #21 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 I always thought the part of Terry Allen's game that was really underrated was his ability to block and pick up blitzers. Stephen Davis has turned out to be pretty good at that too. I wonder if Terry gave him pointers while he was here. In many ways, the Skins have been blessed in having RBs that pick up a blitzer. IN recent years in the NFC EAST, I would say only the Cowboys with Smith and the Skins with Allen and Davis have had Backs that can consistantly pick up the blitzer.

indyskinsfan Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 Yes Terry Allen taught Stephen Davis some stuff about "between" the tackles in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 in all honesty, Allen would not have been a bad pickup for the Redskins considering that Betts and Watson are unproven. I would have thought he would have picked a grass field to play on given his past knee problems. that carpet in NO is going to be hell on him if he has to sub much for MacCalister.

The Sisko Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 I have always liked Terry Allen's running style especially that he delivers a blow before being brought down. Davis did learn a lot from him. However, what the heck is he trying to do ? Break Walter Payton's record by attrition ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
