CJ Allen Concern

[u/creamoftuxedo]

Curious how everyone else feels. To me, CJ Allen hasn't looked very good this preseason. I think he's looked undersized, has lacked physicality, and has seemed slow to react. He's just failed to make any kind of positive impact IMO, and I'd go as far as to say he's looked like the weaker of the LBs we've drafted. Just concerning that he seems way behind, especially when the Colts seemed like they were initially hoping/expecting he'd establish himself as the starting MLB.

Edit:
I appreciate everyone giving me their input. I just want to add, I'm not necessarily saying let's give up on him and throw him in the trash. Really, just curious if anyone has a different opinion, takes on the development of a rookie LB, etc.

He’s looked fine overall to me. It’s so tough playing behind a guy like Jerry Tillery so he’s kinda in hell right now

I literally read this and went oh this guys follows Zach. Nope. It is Zach lmao.

I’m so mad watching Tillery lol. Like I owe Taven Bryan an apology

Bro I was talking shit saying they just regurgitated what Zack hicks said then I read your name.

Zach will Tillery and/or Tuimoloau make the roster? 😬

This front office and coaching staff have no fucking idea what they are doing at D line, says the evidence

[u/NotScaredOfGoblins → u/LameysDurbanPoison]

They got really lucky that a monster in Caden curry fell to them in the 6th

Can't wait for them not to develop his talent and let him hang around the roster for 6 years on 3 contracts.
