Cooleyfan1993 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Here is the quote. That is not exactly "Bruce Allen will have final say on all replay decisions." I think it is typical DC media taking a fragment and trying to blow it up into an issue. yeah i think the quote means that bruce allen will be up in the booth just like a few ot the coaches are, and they all usually let gruden know whether they think he should challenge a call or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like "We've got some coaches up there and Bruce will be around too." For all we know Bruce went to him after the press conference and said. "Actually I won't be in the booth I'll be in the box with Dan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Most teams are beyond disorganized when it comes to replay challenges and seem to repeatedly blow them with consistency. I don't care if it's Santa Clause in the booth helping determine if a call should be challenged or not as long as that person nails it. You'd think NFL teams would have stuff like this and clock management/TO use figured out but for some reason, there are still pretty bad decisions made each game. I'm certain that experienced Madden players and most super fans could manage the clock better and hit on replay challenges with higher percentages than what occurs now.

Warhead36 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 0 chance Bruce Allen will actually be in the coaches box and have any say whatsoever on booth reviews. Gruden probably just misspoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zazzaro703 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I figured it was something like this....but, why is Allen involved at all? Does any other GM do this? I have to say I wasn't a huge fan of the Gruden hire and creating Tuskers North around him...so maybe I'm a little paranoid about an issue like this - I'll concede that - but damn between half of this year's draft and comments like this, I am officially worried about Allen. Hell Dallas' GM is down on the field at the end of close games making play calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexx1240 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Height/Weight/Speed plus dude showed he could tackle in college: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypboDPL855Q I admit he's a wishful thinking longshot but the physical skillset is there.... When I first clicked the link I said to myself "Ok this thing is too long, there's no way in hell I'm gonna sit here and watch a 20+ min highlight vid, I'll just skim thru it" I ended up watching every second of it. His highlight tape reminds me a lot of Landry when he was coming out of LSU. Before the bash session starts I'll clarify and say that in no way am I saying Akeem Davis will be LaRon Landry 2.0 But they do have that same style of play. Fearless tackling. Nose for the football, always around the play. Great blitz technique. Just a lot of very similar traits (in a good way). The one bad similarity would be the fact that his physicality could draw some yellow laundry on the field just like LaRon used to. I have high hopes for the kid. I hope injuries and poor coaching doesn't derail his career with the team as it did for Landry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Is Akeem Davis #42? I was browsing some of Clarence's pics, and saw whoever that was in a defensive stance. Dude was masive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoony Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 +1 on the Akeem Fan Club Not sure i get it. We all want him to do well but at the end of the day he is an un drafted free agent cut by another nfl team I'm all for rooting of the guy but I'm thinking he's probably not very good at professional football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you're coming from but maybe he just needed to find the right situation. For all we know he could end up being the next Kurt Warner or London Fletcher. He could also end up being just another camp body and offseason man crush but you just never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyHolt Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I am not sure why but I often find myself rooting for the underdog. Undrafted? Perfect. Dare I think there will be some surprises at safety, if for no other reason, injuries and inconsistent play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG3Hunna Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I wanted to speak on the Tom Brady pocket vs RGIII pocket thing. The pass rush from us was there we were dominating the line of scrimmage the problem is brady gets the ball out so quick it renders the pass rush useless. When brady would hold on to the ball as long as RGIII would sometimes, we would get there for the sack but of course we cant touch him so we would stand there and brady would look for a WR and find one and torch our secondary but it would have been a sack. RGIII holds on to the ball too long compared to brady brees rodgers and manning and that is why our pocket always looks like it's a mess. RGIII is still learning how to go through progressions properly and fast and it'll take some time but he'll get it once he masters pocket passing. Jay Gruden is the perfect coach for RGIII, their personalities mesh and Gruden is a QB coach first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
